The Demon Soul is Coming

The carriage continued to drive north. Inside the carriage were four daughters Xia Yingchen, Xia Zhaowu, Hu Cuier, and Hu Yuetian, and the carriage was driven by two servant girls, Xiaohuang and Luaner. They grew up in the Hou Mansion. , accompanied the princess and the princess since childhood, and also learned some exercises treasured in the Lingyuan Pavilion of the Hou Mansion. Although they are not as good as the princess and the princess, they are not comparable to ordinary people.

Baochai and Daiyu followed the chariot with the mind of the Toad Palace, they were all carefully selected by Liu Sang from more than 300 female disciples, and the Toad Palace was originally one of the three schools of the Yinyang family, and they were another The outstanding disciples are naturally not inferior to Xiaohuang and Luan'er.

After all, in Toad Palace, the hierarchy is extremely strict, Tsing Yi, disciple, Cai Yi, Xuan Cai, Sishi, Shuanghua, Palace Master, one rank after another, if a disciple reaches a certain age, he cannot advance to Chapter 234 Zhenyang Litian If the talisman is a colorful dress, it will soon be reduced to a green dress, and it will be a slave for the rest of its life. For them, that is the difference between heaven and earth. <Speaking of which, becoming the maid of the Grand Palace Master was actually quite uneasy at the beginning. The maid of the Grand Palace Master is actually the inner disciple of the Grand Palace Master. Among the disciples, Intangible has an unusual status, but This grand palace lord is too young, it is very likely that he can't teach them anything, and they may delay the time to practice the exercises because of serving the grand palace lord. The master's inner disciples will still be beaten into Tsing Yi, not to mention that the Grand Palace Master has not officially accepted them as inner disciples, they are just "equal".

I was extremely worried at first, but it was unexpected.Although it is rare to see the Grand Palace Master fight with others, and occasionally fight against the Third Palace Master, the Third Palace Master suppresses the Grand Palace Master, but when it comes to the cultivation of spells and exercises, the Grand Palace Master always fights with others. I can give them the most appropriate guidance, and start to slowly teach them the method of controlling qi and freeing them, so that their cultivation base in kung fu will improve by leaps and bounds.

They are beginning to realize.It is an extremely rare opportunity for them to follow the Grand Palace Mistress.

certainly.There is also the matter of Chapter 234, the Zhenyang Litian Talisman. For most of the disciples, before entering Caiyi.It is very rare for them to have the opportunity to leave the Toad Palace. Many people have never been outside since they were young, but they can walk around with the Grand Palace Master. For them who are only fifteen or sixteen years old and are extremely curious about world affairs, of course An interesting thing.

At this time, autumn has begun, and the autumn wind is blowing, which is quite pleasant.

Inside the compartment.Suddenly there was a clear and cold voice: "Stop!"

Xiaohuang and Luan'er quickly stopped the car.

Xia Yingchen lifted the curtain and went down.

Xia Zhaowu poked her head out: "Sister, what's wrong?"

With the breeze blowing, Xia Yingchen looked into the distance, listened to the sound of the wind, and suddenly said: "You stay here. Be careful!" With a jerk of her body, she flew away like a fairy.

Hu Cui'er, Hu Yuetian, and Xia Zhaowu all jumped down. They knew that with Xia Yingchen's ability, they must have sensed something. Seeing Xia Yingchen leave as soon as he said it, they had to wait there.

Xia Yingchen climbed over the mountains.Seeing the sword qi criss-crossing in front of him, and the light of the sword flickering, it is obvious that there are two master-level strong fighters fighting there.With a flick of her toes on the branch, she lightly landed on the top of the tree in front of her. Looking ahead, it was two young men fighting, one of whom was actually Chu Zhou whom she had met once on Zudao." "Little Sword Master" Ni Jinxia, ​​and the other person is a 25-year-old young man, short and strong, holding a big knife full of evil spirit.

"Little Sword Master" Ni Jinxia, ​​a disciple of Xiong Tuba of the "Heavenly Sword" of the Tianjianmen of Chuzhou, and the "Master Xuri" of the Gangchang Seven Swords of the Tianjianmen, is full of arrogance and unruly. At this moment, he jumped Then, the sword light rained down like rain. This is the secret skill "Sword Rain Clear Sky" of Tianjianmen's "Heavenly Sword Sweeping Sky Technique".

However, the short and strong young man swiped wildly with his sword, sweeping out wave after wave of air balls, suddenly breaking through the rain of swords, and in an instant, he struck the sky above Ni Jinxia, ​​the blade was radiant and powerful, and he slashed down with one stroke.

Xia Yingchen was taken aback. Ni Jinxia was famous all over Chuzhou, and he was hailed as the number one master among the younger generation in Chuzhou. It is a matter of course that this young man came from nowhere. With ordinary tactics, when fighting against Ni Jinxia, ​​he is not weak at all.

What Ni Jinxia held was the rock sword among the five swords of heaven and earth. The rock sword cut quickly and collided with the murderous knife, creating a shining light.The short and strong young man took advantage of his strength to jump up, glanced at Xia Yingchen like lightning, seemed to be moved, turned over to a branch, and looked at it with a frown.

At this moment, Xia Yingchen is wearing a plain dark dress, without a sword. The snow sword she used has been given to her husband, and the wind sword has also been given to her younger sister. The thunder sword is too big for a woman to carry, so she just took it No sword.Even so, she stood pretty on the top of the tree, but her whole body was like a sword. Although she didn't show her sharpness, she had a sharp sword intent.

When Xia Yingchen approached quickly, the short and strong young man already sensed that there was a master-level master who was no weaker than him and Ni Jinxia approaching, but he did not expect that the person who came was such a young woman. The beauty is so beautiful that it is like a flash of epiphyllum in a summer night, but it is only two decades old at most.

A woman who was much younger than him and so stunning, even he couldn't ignore it, so he said coldly: "Could it be..."

On the ground, Ni Jinxia withdrew his sword and sneered: "As you guessed, she is Princess Ningyun from Hezhou. After fighting with me, do you want to fight her again?"

Princess Hezhou Ningyun?A sharp look flashed in the eyes of the short and strong young man, but he said coldly: "I don't compare with women."

Ni Jinxia laughed and said: "Qu Miluo, you reached the level of a grand master at the age of 25. When she reached this level last year, she was nineteen years old. Can you compare?"

The short and strong young man looked at him, and said quietly: "I don't need to compare with her, I just need to compare with you."

Anger flashed in Ni Jinxia's eyes: "I didn't see how much of an advantage you had just now."

The short and strong young man snorted coldly: "I'll hit it next time." With a flick of his body, it turned into lightning, rushed into the sky, quickly folded, and threw it into the distance in an instant.

Xia Yingchen was also moved, such a strange vertical lifting technique was never heard of or seen before.She said lightly: "Who is this person?"

Ni Jinxia raised his head and saw her standing against the wind on the top of a tree.As if flying from outside the sky, without seeing the dust, I was a little crazy watching it for a while.It wasn't until Xia Yingchen's questioning eyes swept over him that he quickly calmed down and said, "This son's surname is Qu Miluo, from Yangliang, and he has been in the limelight recently. I don't know how many famous masters have been defeated by him who provokes everywhere. , Stop me here again. You must fight me."

Xia Yingchen said indifferently: "If the fight continues, he will definitely lose." The young man's saber technique and vertical lifting technique are both weird, but his realm has not surpassed that of Ni Jinxia.So she made this judgment.

Ni Jinxia said: "Not necessarily, this person is a bit strange, I have also inquired about the situation when he fights with others recently, it seems that he is always at a disadvantage, but in the end he decided the winner in an instant with a magical knife style I have been guarding against him just now, and I can sense that he is indeed hiding a trick, and I have been looking for an opportunity to make a move. As soon as the princess comes, he leaves. I guess he just doesn’t want the princess to see him. To his ultimate move."

Xia Yingchen let out an expressionless "Oh".Turning around, the toes flicked lightly with the branch, and floated away.

You just left like this?Ni Jinxia looked at her passing figure, feeling a little lost...

***

In order to be able to catch up with Yunji Qiye, Liu Sang took advantage of Yingzhao.After traveling day and night, I finally arrived at Yuhuang Mountain.

Yuhuang Mountain has beautiful mountains and rivers. At a glance, there are many simple and simple buildings built in the mountain, and there are misty clouds.The white cranes come and go, but they have a Taoist demeanor of isolation from the world.

Liu Sang came to the mountain gate, two doormen stood there, asked him why he came, Liu Sang directly reported his name, and asked to see Lou Xuanguan, not long after, Lou Xuanguan greeted him personally.

For Lou Xuanguan, Liu Sang actually met only once last year, but he still had a good impression. At that time, he was paralyzed, and Lou Xuanguan respected him. Later, he wrote the "Tao De Jing" by himself, and Lou Xuanguan even Inviting him to the Taoist Tianxuanzong for treatment gave him the feeling that at least he was not an ungrateful person, so he came to him as soon as he came.

Lou Xuanguan welcomed him into the mountain, and said: "Brother Liu brought back the "Tao Te Ching" for the seven sects of my Taoism, my teacher and I have always been grateful, but it is a pity that the teacher left the mountain for important matters, otherwise I would have to thank you in person. "

Just his attitude alone made Liu Sang feel that it is only natural that Taoism is showing signs of revival recently.

"This is just a trivial matter, Brother Lou, you don't have to be polite," Liu Sang said, "I don't know, after getting back the "Tao Te Ching", the seven sects of your family are still fighting over the righteousness of the scriptures?"

Lou Xuanguan smiled wryly and said: "There are still constant arguments, but in the past they were fighting over how to deduce the full meaning from the fragmented version of the Tao Te Ching, but now they are fighting over how to explain the various ambiguities of the Tao Te Ching. The Tao Te Ching is incomplete, and each school can only talk to itself. Now that there is a complete version of the "Tao Te Ching", it has become a word-for-word battle, and it seems to be even more fierce. The two suzerains almost got into a fight because of the phrase "the hall is full of gold and jade, and nothing can keep it". The suzerain of Taishangzong said that "tang" refers to the Yintang. Walking, Yintang is a place that must be passed. Jing Qi penetrates Yintang, penetrates the eyelids, and passes through the eyes. There is a feeling of pearls and jade rolling down. Yintang can be passed but cannot be guarded. , the meaning of only one's heart can be kept' proves that the exercises practiced by Taishangzong are the right way, and the rest are all foreign methods. The master of Qingxuzong said that he farts. As the name suggests, 'Jinyu' actually means money, and money is nothing but Adu Things, 'Nothing can keep', it means that money is like dung, and you should not be obsessed with it. This is exactly the way of Qingxu Zong's quiet and inaction. It can be seen that only Qingxu Zong can get the true meaning of Taoism. The two old people can't compete. I almost wanted to make a move, but fortunately, everyone pulled away, it was just the same sentence, one interpreted it as a skill, and the other said it was a state of mind, but they both sounded reasonable, and no one knew which was right and which was wrong, so they had to Keep arguing."

Hmm... I think so too!

Regarding the "Tao Te Ching", in Liu Sang's last life, there was a dispute for more than 2000 years, and there was no unified conclusion. The seven schools of Taoism only got it for a year.

Lou Xuanguan said: "Although there are still many things that I don't understand, the roots of the various exercises of our seven sects are all in the "Tao Te Ching", just like the saying "The way of heaven, what is more than what is damaged, is what is not enough; The Tao, the loss is not enough but the gift is more than enough' is the foundation of our Tianxuanzong. Just completing this sentence has benefited a lot from all kinds of mental methods of our school. They all benefited a lot, Brother Liu's great kindness, my Taoists will never forget it."

"Brother Lou is really polite." Liu Sang said, "Actually, I have something to do here, and I want to ask Brother Lou for help."

Lou Xuanguan said: "Brother Liu, please tell me. As long as I can help you, I will do my best for you."

Liu Sang took out the rice paper with the imprint on it, and asked him to take a look to find out whether it was a Taoist talisman.Lou Xuanguan took a look, but his expression suddenly became weird.

Liu Sang said: "Brother Lou..."

Lou Xuan said: "Brother Liu, do you know that you are already the third person who came to Yuhuang Mountain to inquire about this seal?"

Liu Sang was taken aback.

He asked: "Brother Lou, can you tell me who are the two in front?"

Lou Xuanguan hesitated and said: "It involves other people's secrets, especially No.1, who has an extraordinary identity. We don't want to talk about it, but the second one is someone who is familiar to Madam."

Liu Sang asked in surprise, "My wife knows you?"

Lou Xuanguan said: "I'm telling you the truth. The second person is Miss Jianyue from Liuhua School of Danxun Mountain."

Hua Jianyue?Liu Sang was even more surprised.

Lou Xuanguan said: "A few days ago, Miss Jianyue also came to inquire about this imprint. At that time, my teacher was also present. This imprint does contain the secret talisman of my Taoism, but is it there? We can't figure out what it is for, because it is hidden in it. It is not just my Taoist talisman, but also the formation of the military school, and other things. We can only see the part of the talisman, but only from the This part. It is really impossible to determine what the use of this mark is."

Liu Sang said: "Brother Lou, can you tell me, apart from other parts, what is the function of the 'talisman' hidden inside?"

Lou Xuanguan took the imprint, observed it carefully, and said, "Brother Liu, have you ever heard of my Taoist 'six celestial symbols'? These six symbols are sky, wind, thunder, cloud, rain, and qi. Press the six The function of the talisman can give birth to six changes: Litian, Wind Calling, Thunder Calling, Cloud Gathering, Rain Falling, and Qi Dissipation.

Liu Sang said: "I still have a mark here, and the talisman drawn inside seems to be a little different, brother Lou, please help me to look again." He took out another one, but it was on Hu Yuetian's body.

After Lou Xuan looked at it, he said: "What is hidden here is the cloud-gathering talisman among the six astronomical phenomena. From the appearance, the six astronomical symbols are generally similar, with only this difference, and it is difficult for outsiders to recognize them."

Liu Sang asked: "From what Brother Lou said, Brother Lou has seen two similar marks before..."

Lou Xuan said: "The other parts of the two imprints are exactly the same as these two, but the talismans hidden are one is a dispersing talisman and the other is a thunder calling talisman." He also said: "In addition, in this imprint, there are also There are some other talisman records, but even my teacher and I can't recognize them, the only one we can recognize is this 'Six Amulets of Astronomical Phenomena'."

Liu Sang's eyes flickered: "Since it is the six talismans of celestial phenomena, can there be six marks like this?" At the beginning, he thought that only the lady had this mark, but he didn't expect that Hu Yue Tiantian also had it. What's more, I didn't expect that when I asked here, there were probably two more people with inexplicable marks on their bodies, and one of them was probably Hua Jianyue.

Now that there are four, are there more?

Lou Xuanguan pondered and said: "Brother Liu, do you know that the six talismans of the celestial phenomenon are actually one? My Taoist school originally had the theory of the eight phenomena. The so-called 'images are formed in the sky, and formed on the ground', these eight phenomena are the celestial phenomena. , wind, thunder, cloud, rain, air, sun, and moon! Because the sun and the moon have their own laws, mortals cannot change, so the "Six Symbols of Tianxiang" only use six of them. If the six images are united, more The powerful effect is because the head of "Li Tian" is called "True Yang and Li Tian". The separation of these six symbols is the "Six Symbols of Astronomical Phenomena". !"

Liu Sang hurriedly asked: "Then what is the function of this 'Zhen Yang Li Tian Talisman'?"

Lou Xuan said, "It's useless."

Liu Sang was startled: "No effect?"

Lou Xuan said: "This 'True Yang and Li Tian Talisman' can call out the Qi of True Yang and cause the six phenomena to run in it. At first glance, it looks beautiful. My Taoists often use it when housewarming or wedding banquets are held. , spread it out, the guests looked at it, and felt that the mountain was full of majestic scenery and incomparably gorgeous, but other than that, it really had no other effect."

Liu Sang thought for a while, and said: "As far as I know, this time, there will be a copy of Yunji Qiye at the Yunji Rare Treasures Meeting on the last night..."

"There will be a copy of "Secret Records of Ancient Talismans"?" Lou Xuanguan smiled wryly, "Unexpectedly, Brother Liu would also ask about this."

Liu Sang said: "Could it be that Miss Hua Jianyue and the other person also asked?"

"Exactly," said Lou Xuanguan, "the appearance of "Secret Records of Ancient Talismans" is of great importance to my Taoist school. It is precisely for this reason that my teacher left the mountain. Since Brother Liu asked about it, I don't care about it." To be honest, if there is "Secret Record of Ancient Talismans", the unknown talisman in this imprint may be understood, but it may still be difficult to understand the function of the entire imprint, because in the imprint, according to the judgment of the family teacher, There are not only 'tales' hidden, but also 'arrays', and my Taoist school is not good at arrays. With a book of "Secret Records of Ancient Talismans", at most I can only clarify the part of the talismans."

Liu Sang already knew about this, before coming to Yangzhou, Youyou had already seen that this imprint contained the part of the "array" in "Ancient Yin Yihun **".

Lou Xuanguan sighed: "My teacher once said that in this imprint, the talisman is used to draw the formation. I'm afraid it is a combination of 'talisman' and 'array' that has never existed before. It was created by a strange person from the past and present."

However, Liu Sang was thinking that the matter involved the seven nights of Yunji, the secret legends of Taoism that had disappeared for hundreds of years, Ningyun City, the Fox Clan, and the Liuhua School. What Yilou Xuanguan just said in his words even included an "identity Extraordinary" characters, it is hard to believe that this is just a prank.
