TaiHao

When Jiang Yuanchen saw Zangyuan coming with two casual cultivators, he first said hello to Zangyuan, and then said to the two casual cultivators: "You two are a fire and a wood, are you looking for the golden elixir method or the method to overcome the calamity?"

"Golden elixir method!"

"The way to overcome the calamity!"

The two people didn't know each other, they just got together because they had the same purpose. Kung Fu is different from other things. You can make rubbings and practice together. There is much less fighting than magic weapons and herbs.

"Then let's go together. Everyone has a share. Pindao will let you two choose three methods each." Jiang Yuanchen said generously.

The five of them entered the Sutra Collection Building together, which was an antique small attic. Various classics are sealed on the bookshelves. These bookshelves are made from thousand-year-old wood and can last for thousands of years without decaying. The scriptures and classics on them are also completely preserved.

"The first floor is about Taoism miscellaneous articles, the second floor is about exercises, and the third floor is about practice experience. You two can find it by yourself on the second floor!" Jiang Yuanchen said and went up to the third floor.

Compared with those Taoist techniques and exercises, the practice and research of a real person is the most important.

The hall on the third floor is a sand table. Before Lin Zixuan came up and said nothing, Jiang Yuanchen's eyes lit up: "Jiuzhou sand table!" Isn't this the sand table he built himself in the dream world!

"Sure enough, the path I am taking is also the research direction of your seniors."

For monks, cultivating the Tao is the most mainstream purpose. So to study and understand the way of heaven and earth, most of them will imitate Jiang Yuanchen's actions and make a sand table to save their own understanding. On the one hand, it is easy to add, and on the other hand, it can also be reflected.

"Huh? Is this a broken sword technique?" Zangyuan was also casually looking around on the third floor, and his eyes fell on a pile of papers on the table next to him. Each piece of paper is engraved with a sword style.

As soon as he looked at the picture, his spiritual consciousness was brought into it and he followed the villain into a sword style, and then another villain appeared and completely broke his sword style.

"Chixiao Sword Sect, Jingyang Taoist Sect, Taixu Taoist Sect..." Lin Zixuan walked over and saw the papers written on the side. His expression suddenly changed.

Here is a summary of the swordsmanship of several sects, and the manuscript left behind by this real person is to find all kinds of flaws in their swordsmanship and eliminate them completely.

Lin Zixuan and Zangyuan looked at each other and had a tacit understanding to collect the sword-style cracking methods of their own sects, but not those of other sects. Lin Zixuan took out a pile of jade slips, and the two of them began to make rubbings, preparing to slowly comprehend them after returning.

At this time, Jiang Yuanchen put away the sand table left by the real person. Then he collected all the manuscripts and experiences on the third floor. The "Theory of the Attributes of Heaven and Earth's Vitality", "Golden Pill Instructions", "Four Sea Water Sutra Annotations", and "Various Possibilities of Dragon Tribe Refining Weapons" are all the cultivation experience figured out by this real person himself. After that, Jiang Yuanchen walked down to the second floor again to see the two casual cultivators.

"Have you two chosen?"

"Selected!" The two people quickly handed their classics to Jiang Yuanchen for review: "Senior, we only need the rubbings." When the two people came in, they saw Jiang Yuanchen's love for books and knew that he might not It will let these true books wander outside, so I speak consciously.

"Yeah." Jiang Yuanchen put away the six books of exercises and flipped through them. He took the jade slips to help make a rubbing, and asked the two of them to make another rubbing by themselves: "You two are not good at the visualization pictures in these Taoist scriptures. I've made a copy of the rubbing for you. To prevent me from tampering with it, you two should copy it each. One more rubbing. Even if you two have no reason to fight in the future." Jiang Yuanchen did things carefully and was still worried. The two of them would fight over the Kung Fu in the future, so they thoughtfully made an extra rubbing to stop them from thinking about killing people to seize the technique.

The two cultivators agreed, and after each rubbing, they heard Jiang Yuanchen say: "You two came here for the practice, and lost the opportunity to hunt for treasure, so each of you took a bookshelf from here. These bookshelves made of thousand-year-old spiritual wood are also good magical tools. , although it is difficult to use it as an offensive magic weapon. But it can be used to collect scriptures and display collections."

The two of them each picked a bookshelf and left directly.

Before a casual cultivator left, he turned to look at the Sutra Collection Tower and said to the person next to him: "I heard what those big sect disciples said about Taoist Xuan Hao's vicious heart. Now it seems that this senior is a very good person!" At least he didn't talk to other sects. The disciple treated the casual cultivators like ants, and did not bully them at will. He also thoughtfully told the two of them the way to leave.

Another person heard the words and nodded: "It's better to hear than to meet. I guess the rumors are wrong! However, this senior has been practicing for such a short time and can achieve such a level of cultivation. He is a model for us to learn from!"

"Unexpectedly, my lord has become a senior master!" Xuan Chen's voice joked.

How could Jiang Yuanchen not bring his protector with him when he came to explore? It was just that Xuan Chen was hiding in his Dragon and Tiger Mysterious Altar and just covering the surrounding area with his spiritual thoughts to check the actions of the two casual cultivators. After seeing that the two of them really left without any action, Xuan Chen withdrew his spiritual thoughts.

"Hmph! After all, I am also a monk at the second level of the Golden Core! If you become a Yuan Shen within five hundred years, wouldn't you be the senior of many people?" After Jiang Yuanchen cleaned the scripture library, he turned around and asked Lin Zixuan and Zangyuan to leave. Went looking for Mu Qingyi.

"This is indeed the Immortal Mansion left by Taishang Dao Zong. It may lead to Dao Zong's cave. If we discover it, what about the old rules?" Jiang Yuanchen and Zang Yuan discussed as they walked.

The so-called old rule is of course the offensive and defensive alliance between Taixu and Chixiao. The two factions have joined forces for hundreds of years. Many secret realms have been jointly developed. The same is naturally true for the Qingxu Cave Heaven of Taishang Dao Sect.

"Okay!" This is a tradition, and Zangyuan will certainly not break it.

The three of them reached an alliance, and when they came to the core hall, they saw Mr. Zhou fighting against Ouyang Yu, Yi Yi and others.

Although Mr. Zhou has a high level of cultivation, Ouyang Yu is a pure Yang magic weapon. Mr. Zhou is wary and does not dare to kill him, for fear of attracting a counterattack.

Jiang Yuanchen tied the confusing bell to his spiritual whip and swung the long whip over. The ringing of the bell shook the souls of everyone present and forcibly separated them all.

"It turns out we are fellow Taoists from Jingyang Taoist Sect!" Jiang Yuanchen shouted loudly, and the three of them walked beside Mr. Zhou: "Please, everyone, we have the upper hand here. If you don't harm your kindness, Pindao can point out the location of the Treasure Pavilion. , each of you choose your magic weapon and leave, it is considered that your visit is not in vain." Jingyang Taoist Sect, Qingli Temple and Hanyue Palace. Although Jiang Yuanchen boasted that his two factions were as powerful as theirs when they joined forces, he was not willing to have a feud in vain. It would be best if it could be resolved peacefully.

Yiyi looked hesitant. Of course she knew the methods of Jiang Yuanchen, Lin Zixuan and Zangyuan. With the three of them plus Elder Zhou, the Three-Tribulation Ghost Immortal, it would be difficult to please them even if they were surrounded by a group of them. So she gradually began to think about retreating, but it was difficult for her to be the master of many female disciples in Hanyue Palace. Hanyue Palace has a close relationship with Jingyang Taoism. Among them were two female disciples who fell in love with Ouyang Yu. At this moment, they were standing on Ouyang Yu's side and glared at Jiang Yuanchen:

"Who do you think you are! How dare you be the master of our Hanyue Palace!"

"Why should I listen to you!"

"The person who marries King Yi Palace is the enemy of our Hanyue Palace!"

The two Hanyue Palace disciples have been practicing in Bingzhou all year round, and they don't know how to use any bad words, but their attitudes say it all. Jiang Yuanchen didn't have a good impression of Hanyue Palace in the first place, so it became even worse.

Jiang Yuanchen smiled and then said to Wang Yu of Qingli Guan: "Senior Brother Wang, everyone is fully aware of Qingli Guan's actions in Lingzhou North over the years. Now that we are leaving, we are still on the same path. Otherwise, senior brother will have to bear the responsibility for those people. I got angry all of a sudden!"

Qing Liguan felt guilty for what he did in Lingzhou Beidi, and he looked conflicted. He glanced secretly at Ouyang Yu and said nothing, but still stood beside Ouyang Yu.

Just because of the cause and effect of a mountain and river seal, Qingli Temple will be inseparable from the Jingyang Taoist sect until the next calamity.

"There's another enemy!" Jiang Yuanchen couldn't help but sigh inwardly when he saw this. From top to bottom, from bottom to top, Taixu Dao Sect and Chixiao Sword Sect have been allies for countless years, so the relationship between the disciples of the two sects has always been very good. But similarly, if the disciples have in-depth communication. It will also affect the direction of the upper echelons of the sect. For example, Taixu Daozong and Yiwangdian are very close because of the relationship between Li Wen and his wife. Yiwangdian, who was already somewhat inclined towards Taixu Dao Sect, was directly on this side.

Taixu Dao Sect, Chixiao Sword Sect and Yiwangdian formed an alliance, and Jingyang Dao Sect, Hanyue Palace and Qingli Temple were also in an alliance. Of course, Haoming Sect also cooperated with Taixu Dao Sect and Chixiao Sword Sect in Zhongzhou. , can barely be counted in this league. As for Tianmen Dao and Tiangong Mansion, they are still as neutral as ever. One disciple has few disciples, and the other focuses on research. They are unwilling to intervene in the battles of the outside world.

After a loud noise, the roof above the main hall was lifted, and a five-color light rose into the sky, forming a vortex in the air. Next everyone's eyes flashed with white light, and after they recovered again, everyone entered another strange world.

At that moment. Jiang Yuanchen unconsciously exhaled: "Qingxu Cave!" This cave gave him a feeling very similar to Zixia Cave. However, the foundation of this cave is the innate Yuanyi Qingxu Dao Qi, which is different from the innate pure Yang Yunxiang Purple Qi of the Taixu Dao Sect.

Then, before Jiang Yuanchen could take action, he suddenly realized that his magic power was sealed by the cave, just like a mortal. Then, a blue light flashed and he appeared in a stone room.

Looking around, there was an incense candle, a futon and a disk beside the stone room.

Just when he was trying to contact Mr. Zhou and others, he suddenly heard a cold voice from above: "The inheritance test of the Taishang Dao Sect has begun. Those who pass the five tests will automatically become the successors of the Taishang Dao Sect."

Is this the testing mechanism left by Taishang Daozong in the cave? Jiang Yuanchen frowned, realizing that the stone house blocked out all spiritual thoughts and spiritual consciousness, and that his own magic power was completely locked in his body, he looked at the stone plate in front of him again.

"The name of this disk is the Jiulianpan. The nine round holes on it correspond to the nine mechanisms. Every time you use a gem next to it, you can turn a mechanism. But seven of the nine mechanisms are blank, and two are filled with poisonous gas. Please don't be confident. I think I can withstand the poisonous medicinal properties refined from the Eight Treasures Duanhun Powder." The voice came in a straight tone.

Jiang Yuanchen's expression suddenly changed: "Babao Soul-Destroying Powder?" This thing is a highly poisonous poison that specifically targets the soul. It is said that an alchemy cultivator originally wanted to refine a secret medicine that could break through the soul, and he used eight top-level elixirs in succession, but in the end a virulent poison was produced! A poison that even the Golden elixir cultivators dare not deal with, a poison that even the Yangshen cultivators need to be careful about!

Jiang Yuanchen couldn't help but smile bitterly. It is true that Taoist research has made a lot of progress over the past thousand years, but at the same time, there are also some things that are spinning in circles. For example, poisons are banned. Because there are few experimental products, not many people study antidotes. At least it is difficult for Jiang Yuanchen to figure out the antidote to this poison!

"Did you see the nine gems on the left? Seven are red and two are black. As long as you put the red gems in, a light shield will be created for you to temporarily avoid the toxicity of the Eight Treasures Soul-Destroying Powder. The black gems will It is an ordinary gem with no effect at all. If it is placed in a blank mechanism, it will be fine, but if it is misplaced and encounters a poisonous mechanism, then you will be driven out of your mind!"

After listening to the explanation, Jiang Yuanchen played with the nine gems in his hand. The test is simple. All you need to do is point the red gem at the trap that contains the poisonous gas!

But what about the ratio of life to death? Jiang Yuanchen thought silently.

"Lord, this level is not easy for you to handle!" Xuan Chen reminded secretly.

Yes, you just need to choose the corresponding gems and throw them into the hole, but what if all seven gems are used up and the next mechanism happens to be poison gas? Isn't there only a dead end?

Especially smart people who like to think too much, they will think more about this institution, and they will be the ones who suffer at that time.

"Decision! This level tests your own decision-making, and of course a little bit of luck and risk-taking! What you lack most, my lord, is your decision-making and adventurous spirit! According to your personality, you will definitely not be able to be sure if you are not more than 50% sure. He will strike at will." Xuan Chen analyzed calmly.

Jiang Yuanchen took a deep breath, and just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard a voice coming from above: "Start, please crack the nine links before the incense candle burns out."

"..." Jiang Yuanchen frowned and reached out to touch the first hole. The incense candle can last for half an hour, so nine mechanisms need to be opened within half an hour!

"Is the first mechanism poison gas or safe? If the first mechanism is safe and you fill it with a black gem, then you can leave a red gem behind as a guarantee of life!" Jiang Yuanchen thought silently.

The candlelight flickered, and a dim reflection appeared in the corner. Jiang Yuanchen sat quietly next to the disk and thought. Others were also facing this problem.

Is it red or black? Should we choose to play it safe or take a risk?

"Red!" Lin Zixuan put a red gem into it.

"Black!" Gu Yuan threw his black gem in.

"Black!" Zangyuan.

"Red!" Ouyang Yu.

A total of more than forty monks were forcibly brought here to begin the trial of Taishang Dao Sect. Everyone starts to make their own choices before this first level.

"My choice!" Jiang Yuanchen picked up a gem and threw it into it. Just listen to the clicking sound of the mechanism slowly sounding, like a sound of urging someone to die.
