Taiping Inn

The four immortals left the scene one after another. The protagonists of the battlefield here naturally became the great masters of the heavenly realm.

The first to take action was Bai Xiushang.

Ever since Qin Qing entered the immortal realm, Bai Xiushang has become the number one on the Taixuan list. After several changes in the Taixuan list, Bai Xiushang has always firmly occupied the top position. If you don't count the outliers like Wu Xian who once entered the immortal realm, she can be said to be the well-deserved number one under the immortal realm.

The world's impression of the old leader of the Cihang Sect is inevitably stereotyped. People always think that she is good at dancing with long sleeves. In her early years, she was very close to the old Tianshi Zhang Jingxiu. She supported the finances of the Zhengyi Sect with one hand, making the Zhengyi Sect have enough confidence to compete with the wealthy Qingwei Sect. She trained two disciples. Su Yun'an inherited her positive side, took over the Cihang Sect, and married the Zhengyi Sect. Murong Hua inherited her negative side, doing secret things, and had an intersection with Qin Li early on. She herself had a past relationship with Qin Qing, the "Heavenly Sword", and had a friendship with Mr. Qingping Li Xuan. After Qin and Li began to dominate the world, Bai Xiushang's status also rose, and people had to sigh at the foresight of this white-robed Guanyin.

All these made many people subconsciously ignore that Bai Xiushang was actually one of the great masters of the realm of heaven and man, and was only one step away from the realm of immortality.

Bai Xiushang floated out, just as Qin Qing had given his sword "Qi Fang Wang Dao" to his daughter early, and her sword "Miao Fa Lotus" had also been given to her disciple Su Yun'an, so at this time she had no long sword in her hand, only a long and narrow piece of white paper, which was bundled into a sword.

This thing is called "Wu Xiang Paper", which can not only be transformed into a three-foot long sword, but also into eighteen kinds of weapons. It is as hard as diamond and is invulnerable to water and fire. It is just that Bai Xiushang is good at using swords, so she turned it into a paper sword.

The one who met Bai Xiushang on the Confucian side was Chiyang Weng. If Old Man Long was the leader of the seven hermits, then Chiyang Weng was the strategist of the seven hermits. Before Ziyanshan had made great progress in his cultivation, Tiger Zen Master, who was not considered to be in harmony with the Tao, had always been the second hermit after Old Man Long.

Chiyang Weng held a long sword and met Bai Xiushang.

Bai Xiushang waved the paper sword in her hand, and countless paper scraps flew out from the sword body, which swelled in the wind and turned into paper lotuses that swirled and fell, like snow all over the sky.

These paper lotuses were separated from the "faceless paper", and the petals were as sharp as knives. At this time, they rotated, comparable to the strange weapons in the rivers and lakes. Wherever the paper lotus went, it cut bricks and stones like tofu, and it was sharp and difficult to resist.

Chiyang Weng did not dare to be careless at all. He waved the long sword in his hand quickly, blocking all the paper lotuses, triggering a series of metal and stone collision sounds.

As the saying goes, old age makes one stronger. Although Chiyangweng has cultivated for nearly a hundred years and has not yet reached the realm of immortality, his cultivation is extremely pure and is no less than Bai Xiushang's. Moreover, the long sword in his hand is also of ordinary quality and is not inferior to Bai Xiushang.

Bai Xiushang holds the sword in his right hand and stands with his left palm in front of him. Immediately, there are Buddhist chants, and the goddess scatters flowers. Then white light falls in the sky, and a six-foot-tall Guanyin statue appears, removing the suffering of all living beings with a compassionate face.

The Guanyin statue is pure white. At first, Guanyin only has two hands clasped together, and then four hands, eight hands, and sixteen hands appear behind her. In a blink of an eye, this Guanyin statue has more than a hundred hands. There are no Buddhist instruments or willow branches in the hands of this hundred-handed Guanyin, only long swords of different shapes, some are ancient and heavy, some are light and thin, and some are twisted like snakes. Without exception, they all exude a sharp sword aura.

It was the "Thousand Swords Guanyin" in the "Cihang Pudu Sword Canon".

After the Guanyin Dharma image appeared, the hundred hands rotated, and the hundred swords moved with it. The sword shadows were gorgeous, crisscrossing to form a fine sword net, with sharp sword energy, covering Chiyang Weng's head.

Chiyang Weng was trapped in the sword net, and he felt that he was trapped in a battlefield where thousands of people were fighting, and there were enemies everywhere.

Bai Xiushang controlled the Guanyin Dharma image, and the sword skills and sword moves were so complicated and changeable that it was unimaginable. More than a hundred different styles of sword techniques, some open and close, some slow and fast, some like pear blossoms blooming, some like wind and grass, some ancient and stagnant, some swift as thunder, some like breeze and moon, and some like iron horses. Sometimes the sword force is like a great river and tide, surging for three thousand miles; sometimes the sword force is like a small bridge and flowing water, all of which are performed by Guanyin at the same time, blended together, without any conflict, and extremely unpredictable.

Just as Bai Xiushang made her move, Shangguan Wan lowered her head slightly, and when she raised her head again, a bronze mask with green face and fangs appeared on her face. This mask had no place for mouth, nose and eyes, and was integrated. However, when you reach the realm of heaven and man, you don't have to rely on your eyes to see things, so these details are irrelevant.

This item was originally a thing of the ancient witch religion. The witch priests of the witch religion wore this item to perform sacrifices. After several twists and turns, it fell into the hands of the earth master Xu Wugui. Xu Wugui originally used this item to study the various witchcrafts of Wujiao, but later found that this item was made of unknown material and was extremely strong, so he carried it with him for self-defense. Later, it was passed to Li Xuandu, who gave it to Shangguan Wan.

Shangguan Wan was the second person to take action.

To be fair, Shangguan Wan did not have too much psychological burden when she chose to surrender to Li Xuandu. First, the situation was stronger than the person. She needed Li Xuandu at the time, and Li Xuandu was her lifesaver. Second, Li Xuandu was the last successor recognized by Xu Wugui. Third, what Li Xuandu asked Shangguan Wan to do was essentially the same as what Shangguan Wan had been doing in the past.

Whether it was Li Xuandu or Xu Wugui, they wanted to overthrow the Wei court.

Years of inertia made Shangguan Wan rarely think about why she wanted to overthrow the Wei Dynasty, nor did she think deeply about the difference between the Northwest Zhou Dynasty and Liaodong. She had her own ambitions, but they had nothing to do with the world or peace.

The reason why she was so desperate at this time was naturally her consideration.

Li Xuandu's promise made Shangguan Wan very excited. There was no need to say more about the position of geomancer. She did not reject marrying Zhang Luanshan. First, the two were well matched. The heavenly master and the earthly master corresponded to the yang of the sky and the yin of the earth. Second, Zhang Luanshan was not weaker than Shangguan Wan, nor was he stronger than Shangguan Wan. They were evenly matched.

Shangguan Wan was not a person who demanded marriage, otherwise she would not have taken a fancy to Zhao Bingyu. As for why she was unwilling to succumb to Song Zheng, the reason was very simple. If she married Zhao Bingyu, Shangguan Wan would definitely control Zhao Bingyu, or she would be the master of the house. But if she married Song Zheng, she would be a concubine of Song Zheng, and there was also Tan Taiyun, the eldest wife, above her. Everything was beyond the control of others, and it was incomparable.

If she could become the mistress of the Zhang family, she could seize the Great Immortal Mansion with one hand and Lan Xuanshuang and other allies with the other hand. With the Yin-Yang Sect and the identity of the Earth Master behind her, she would become an important person in the future of Taoism. Among all the women, she is probably only second to Qin Su, and is in between Bai Xiushang. Qin Su has a father who is an immortal, and a husband who is an immortal. It is really incomparable.

Although Shangguan Wan didn't quite understand and didn't want to understand how to achieve peace in the world, she knew one thing very well, that is, the premise of all this is that Li Xuandu can live, and Taoism can surpass Confucianism. As the saying goes, wealth and honor are sought in danger. Shangguan Wan is not for others, but for himself, and he must do his best.

When Chiyang Weng rushed out, Jinchan Sou subconsciously took out a small snuff bottle from his sleeve and sniffed it under his nose. The small snuff bottle in Jin Chansou's hand is made of glass, and the inner wall is painted with calligraphy and landscape. Although it is valuable, it is not magical. It is just that Jin Chansou is used to it, especially when he is not so calm, or when he has to make an important decision, sniffing snuff can make him calm.

After Shangguan Wan made a move, Jin Chansou put away the snuff bottle in his hand, took a deep breath, and all the smiles on his face slowly disappeared. His eyes were extremely cold, and he did not hide his murderous intention.

In the previous "Spring Rain", Jin Chansou benefited greatly. Not only did he recover from his blindness, but his cultivation was also improved. He was also in the realm of heaven and man, but he was slightly higher than Shangguan Wan.

However, Shangguan Wan also has his own advantages, that is, he has many treasures on his body. In addition to the "Yin Yang Magic Sword" and the "Heaven Yang Earth Yin Candle Dragon Seal", there is also a set of flying swords with semi-immortal appearance, which are all relics of the earth master and are extraordinary.

To be fair, Shangguan Wan did not receive the true teachings of the geomancer, or only received part of the true teachings. It was not that the geomancer kept it secret, but that the master-disciple inheritance was a gradual process. Except for anomalies like Li Xuandu, no one could become a big man at one bite. The geomancer ascended to heaven unexpectedly, and the inheritance was interrupted. Fortunately, there was Li Xuandu. Li Xuandu taught the last part of the skills on behalf of the geomancer Xu Wugui, completing Shangguan Wan's inheritance. Therefore, Shangguan Wan called Li Xuandu "senior brother" not just flattery, but also some sincerity.

As soon as the two met, Shangguan Wan used "The Heart Demon is Born by Me", and her hair bun spread out by itself, her black hair turned into white hair, dancing without wind, and the "Yin Yang Magic Sword" in her hand burned with blazing black flames, swaying unsteadily.

Shangguan Wan then displayed "Sword Heart Taixuanyi", and the Yin Fire changed with her Qi, swallowing and spitting unsteadily, like bending and stretching, unpredictable.

A golden armor appeared on the body of the Golden Toad Old Man. It was cast in the previous Jin Dynasty and was once a royal treasure. After the Golden Horde cavalry trampled the beautiful rivers and mountains of the Great Jin Dynasty, this treasure armor was lost in the rivers and lakes and fell into the hands of the Confucian sect after several twists and turns. Although it cannot be compared with the "Yin Yang Fairy Clothes", it is also a top-grade treasure. The key lies in the word "sturdy". It can even withstand a blow from the immortal realm. The only shortcoming is that this treasure armor can only protect the upper body because of the rare material, but not the whole body, so its function is greatly reduced.

At the same time, a long sword appeared in the hand of the Golden Toad Old Man, and a golden toad squatted at the position of the sword head.

The two attacked and defended, like a spear and a shield.
