Chapter 22 The Demonic Atmosphere Attacks the High Altar
In the west school field of Yanze City, Zhao Miao stood on a high platform with his hair loose and sword in hand. An altar was set up on the platform, and twelve brave soldiers were arranged under the altar, holding flags and flags, standing with the altar on their backs.
They saw Zhao Miao with a solemn expression. There was neither a single floor on the altar in front of him, nor a table and incense. There was only a big cauldron in the altar, and five hundred discarded armor pieces were placed in the cauldron.
After getting permission from General Wei, Zhao Shu started making talismans. This time, he did not write down the talisman or pour out the talisman water, but opened an altar to practice magic, attract the subtle energy of heaven and earth, and make five hundred talismans in one go.
.
At present, there are many people outside the school grounds looking curiously. If General Wei had not given an order not to allow the rest of the crowd to approach the high altar, I am afraid that the soldiers would have been unable to help but rush forward to watch the fun.
"What are you doing?"
"You don't know? General Wei invited the Immortal Chief of Huaiying Pavilion to refine the spell for us."
"Are those ghostly symbols written in cinnabar? Why do you need to put a big pot on the stage?"
"Who am I going to ask? That's the skill of immortals."
The soldiers outside the school grounds were whispering to each other, and on the second floor of the inn in the distance, monks from various taverns also gathered early and took up positions to watch Zhao Shu practice. To be more precise, they were watching how Zhao Shu made a fool of himself——
"This talisman official from the Huaiying Hall is really doing whatever it takes for fame and fortune. He even claims to be able to refine thousands of talismans!"
"Throughout the ages, there have been very few such talismans. How can a talisman official do it? This person is extremely stupid and crazy. He even boasted about it in front of General Wei. I would like to experience it. After the matter fails, this
How do you plan to clean up the situation?"
"In terms of foundation, the Huaiying Pavilion is second only to the Chongxuan Pavilion. General Wei wouldn't dare to kill this Fu official even if he thought about it, right?"
"Even if we don't kill him, I'm afraid the reputation and prestige of the Huaiying Hall will be ruined by this person. If General Wei wants to reuse the Huaiying Hall in the future, he must make careful assessments."
"Hmph! Who told them to show their courtesy everywhere as soon as they arrived in Xingluo County? It's really a disgrace to our immortal cultivators, and now they are still hanging out with those Qiu Ba."
"Huaiying Hall, this has always been the case. At the Yingzhou Conference that year, their leader Zhang Duanjing openly claimed that 'no human beings have immortal bones, and all kinds of things contain truth'. If this is true, how can Mr. Liang of Chongxuan Hall do it?
I am able to summon many Dharma soldiers and generals? They are nothing more than direct descendants of the Immortal family’s bloodline, and they are born with true knowledge.”
"That's right, as soon as Mr. Liang came into the world, an immortal general came to protect him. No matter how many demons the ant people in Xingluo County have, they can't compete with the power of the immortal general's sword. Just let these people from Huaiying Hall show off.
Yes, when they make a lot of fools of themselves and General Wei can't stand it anymore, he will naturally ask Mr. Liang to take action."
…
Zhao Shu, who was on the altar, naturally couldn't hear such discussions. At this moment, he was concentrating in front of the big cauldron. He drew the empty book with the magic sword in his hand, and formed the talisman with his true energy. At the same time, he silently recited the spiritual mantra:
"Taibai Dasha suppresses my heart. It eliminates five soldiers and is not hurt by the sword. It protects my five bodies and suppresses all my spirits. Thieves and ferocious men, insects, snakes, tigers and wolves. Those who plot against me will die, and those who harm me will perish."
From the perspective of ordinary people, Zhao Shui stood in front of the cauldron at this moment, with his hair disheveled and dancing with a long sword. In addition to being solemn, he was also a bit comical.
But in the eyes of those who are good at reading the qi and predicting the weather, the magic sword in Zhao Shui's hand is blazing with white light, and the clouds in the sky are surging. The metal qi scattered in the heaven and earth gradually absorbs into the cauldron as Zhao Shui wields the sword and writes the talisman.
"interesting."
Among the clouds and chariots in the palace, Liang Shuo was leaning on a table, with a gauze curtain hanging around him. A bright mirror with four rules was suspended in front of him. The scene of Zhao Shu opening the altar and practicing Dharma clearly appeared in the mirror, and it reflected the aura invisible to the naked eye.
Machine streaming.
"Using the armor contaminated with evil aura as a guide, set up an altar in the school grounds where soldiers train, and place a large cauldron made of melted hardware. Prepare enough foreign spiritual materials, and use the true energy to write talismans, which is similar to casting talisman water.
The trick is mixed with a bit of the mystery of the Danding Furnace Fire Mixing Qi Machine."
Liang Shuo tapped his knee with his fingertips: "Unfortunately, this person is Zhang Duanjing's student... Jiang Ru, what do you think?"
Under the bamboo couch, there was a maid playing with the cups. She made a cup of warm and fragrant drink with graceful movements and handed it to Liang Shuo. On the transparent crystal cup, there was a sprig of peach blossoms blooming with the temperature, delicate and lovely, and the fragrance of flowers also filled the tent. And so on.
Daily utensils are no longer visible to ordinary people.
The maid named Jiang Ru glanced at the mirror and smiled: "Sir, are the tricks of such charlatans and wild temple wizards worth your attention?"
Liang Shuo took a sip from the cup and said, "You don't understand. The technique used by Zhao Shu originated from the Tianxia Dynasty's method of preserving five stars for protection and fighting ghosts. However, he only intercepted the Taibai Star to destroy the five weapons."
Along the way. If it were just this one spell, it wouldn't be worthy of my attention. But when he comes to the altar and performs it like this, he is refining spells for many soldiers. This kind of scheming should not be underestimated."
Jiang Ru thought thoughtfully: "Oh? I thought at first that this person was just bluffing in front of the Young Master. If those ordinary soldiers were protected by talismans, wouldn't they be able to suppress the bandits and demons on their own without the Young Master taking action? In this way, it would still be possible.
How to show the majesty of the Liang family’s immortal lineage?”
"I have heard about Zhang Duanjing's ability for a long time, but I didn't expect that his students are also extraordinary." Liang Shuo said with a smile: "Such a talented person can only be appointed as a fu official, and he is like a pearl covered in dust."
"Could it be that Young Master is planning to bring him to Chongxuan Pavilion?" Jiang Ru asked.
Liang Shuo's expression was subtle and he did not answer directly: "In recent years, the Chongxuan Hall has become more and more corrupt. Although our Liang family agrees to demarcate the urn products according to the immortal lineage, except for the Liang family, the other three families of Chu, Zheng, and Wang
, the shadow of the Seven Mysteries and the Nine Ancestors has been cut off, and the immortal officials of Dharma are not surrendered. Although they still claim to be descendants of the immortal lineage, they are no longer much different from ordinary people. However, the children of the three families do not strive to improve their cultivation, and indulge in indulgence and dissoluteness.
When I heard that they were coming to Xingluo County to suppress bandits and demons, they all claimed to be ill and were unable to travel far away."
Jiang Ru covered her mouth and smiled, with a captivating look on her face: "Aren't those people all learning from the young master? You have always disliked worldly affairs. You live and sleep in pursuit of immortal family style, and you even took in people from our lineage who were trapped in the blessed land of the mortal world.
Tianhu, in the eyes of outsiders, you are a concubine who indulges in female sex, aren't they imitating this?"
"It's boring." Liang Shuo said.
"Young master, if you don't want Zhao Shu to ruin your arrangements, why not let me disturb you?" Jiang Ru asked: "When opening an altar to practice Dharma, the most important thing to avoid is that the altar base will be shaken and the energy will be out of order. Then Zhao Shu will be the protectors around him.
They are just ordinary soldiers."
Liang Shuo played with the crystal cup: "You have the skills to make a cup of tea."
"That's enough." Jiang Ru bowed and a long-tailed shadow appeared behind him.
…
Before Zhao Shu stood up on the cauldron, his magic sword was pointed straight up in the sky. From the perspective of Yingxuan's illumination technique, at this moment there was a white light hanging down like a waterfall in the sky, penetrating into the cauldron, following the talisman and seal to guide the knot, and the golden armor technique
The effectiveness begins to bless each piece of armor.
The Golden Armor Technique itself is also a simplified technique deduced by the predecessors. It originally came from the "Taibai Star Evil and Five Weapons" line in the "Five-Star Body Protection and Fighting Ghost Technique" compiled by the monks of the Tianxia Dynasty.
This kind of magic cannot be performed by one person, but is a complicated ritual that consumes manpower and material resources. By attracting the five-star evil energy, it is used to deal with the big monsters that invade the mountains and rivers.
Of course, Zhao Shu himself could not reproduce such profound rituals, nor did he know how to attract the evil energy of the stars before. Fortunately, because of the Chonghui Armillary Sphere, Xin Shunying taught him how to think of the stars and attract the evil energy of the stars, so that Zhao Shu could
Roughly restore the deduction of "Xing Sha Pi's Art of War".
Looking at the Taibai Star Evil falling from the sky, Zhao Shu silently recited the Great Blessing to Control Evil, and a patterned talisman flew out from between his eyebrows, transforming into the true form of a divine tiger and escaping into the white light.
This move was not from Zhao Mi's original intention, but was reminded by Lingxiao: "When I created the "Shenhu Hidden Text", it originally contained the golden elephant. If the true shape of the sacred tiger can be refined with enough golden evil spirit machines, its sharpness will definitely
It will be even more prosperous."
At first, Zhao Shu was a little worried, thinking that opening the altar to perform rituals and refining talismans and seals would be distracting, but Lingxiao said bluntly: "When you go to the altar to perform rituals, you must concentrate on keeping your spirit and energy. It feels innocent and natural. The innocent energy flows into it."
Going down to the altar is an excellent opportunity to practice. Does it mean that you have to sit cross-legged on the couch and breathe out your spiritual thoughts to be considered practicing?"
Fortunately, Zhao Shu's cultivation has indeed improved, the true form of the divine tiger has become more solid and complete in Taibai Xingsha, and the spirit and veins have also grown.
What's even more mysterious is that since the true form of the Divine Tiger already possesses the great blessing of controlling evil, the Taibai Xingsha that flowed down to the cauldron also has an additional effect of controlling evil, and is also blessed on the armor piece.
With the exchange of energy and spiritual sense, Zhao Shu vaguely sensed the past experiences left on the pile of armor. A battlefield on a barren hill appeared in front of his eyes. Countless soldiers were fighting and shouting. The weapons collided and clashed, penetrating the armor and piercing into the flesh.
, splashing blood watering the earth, and all kinds of violence and evil lingering and gathering.
"Don't pay attention to such scenery." Lingxiao reminded him, Zhao Shu quickly clicked his teeth to calm himself down, and the jade bells of the Mingtang Palace rang in his mind, shattering the illusion in front of him.
"Is that the spirit of the defeated army?" Zhao Shu asked.
"Yes." Lingxiao said bluntly: "It is unlucky to be a soldier. It may not be a good thing to use this armor piece to practice magic and then use it on the battlefield after blessing."
"I'm just trying to give the soldiers a little more chance of survival." Zhao Shu looked up at the sky: "The sooner the bandit suppression is over, the fewer people will die. When the war breaks out, not only will people die on the battlefield, but also due to the loss of strength and the desolation of the fields, people will die.
There will be more people.”
Lingxiao stopped talking, and Zhao Mi just kept his spirit and energy in silence.
And often at this time, the spiritual sense is the most acute. Zhao Shu noticed a strange atmosphere around the school grounds. He looked around and saw that among the various qi machines forced away by the altar, there was a group of strange auras hovering and gradually taking shape.
"Spirits?" Zhao Shu was slightly surprised: "A ghost actually appeared in Yanze City?"
Today's Yanze City is unusual in its outline. There are monks from various schools and temples gathered together, and there are also troops from the imperial court stationed there. These people are often the most feared by miscellaneous spirits. Even if there were spirits entrenched in the city originally, they must be hiding their heads now.
Tai didn't dare to show his face.
As for those who dare to show up in the monks' altar to practice Dharma, they are not miscellaneous spirits. They must be those who have become the climate and are extremely rampant.
A burst of touching female laughter was heard in their ears. The twelve soldiers surrounding the altar could not control themselves. The flags and flags in their hands were shaking. They must have been aware of more than just female laughter.
The hidden evil spirit is unusual. The evil atmosphere is spreading in the distance, ready to attack. It is obvious that it wants to attack the altar where Zhao Shu is. If it is really allowed to destroy the altar, let alone the difficulty of casting the spell, even Zhao Shu
Millet will also be counterattacked by the magic due to the overturning of the magic altar and loss of Qi movement, which may result in injuries and bleeding at the slightest, or damage to the cultivation level at the worst.
At this time, Zhao Shu showed an extremely rare look of majesty. He pointed the magical sword in his hand, and a wisp of Taibai Xingsha condensed into the blade and slashed down, breaking the magic that concealed his body shape and forcing the spirit to reveal itself.
"ah!"
A sweet cry came out, and Zhao Shui saw a red fox the size of a calf, with a big fluffy tail swinging behind it.
When Zhao Shu saw the big fox, he didn't have the same curiosity as in the past. He wielded his sword and shouted loudly:
"The evil spirits are invading the altar, bewitching and playing tricks, it is appropriate——"
A divine tiger leaped out in its true form, roaring in the wind, and charged straight at the fox demon.
"——Fuzhu!"
The true form of the divine tiger is extremely powerful. In addition, Zhao Shui is not performing the magic alone at this moment, but standing on the altar, attracting the Taibai Star to descend, and using the power of the elephants in the sky and the earth, it is unstoppable.
They saw the true form of the divine tiger slapping down with one claw, and the Tiger Mighty Sharp Edge curse was issued. The fox demon was in a hurry and was unable to dodge. It was hit hard and let out a cry. Then it twisted its body and turned into blue smoke to escape.
"He ran pretty fast." Zhao Shu snorted coldly, then blinked and asked Lingxiao, "Did I have a bad temper just now?"
"When you go up to the altar to practice magic and transform into a god to summon generals, if you encounter evil spirits causing trouble, can you still speak kindly and gently?" Lingxiao said: "The evil spirits are all forced to the altar, why don't you kill them?"
"Oh, that's true." Zhao Shu glanced at the cauldron: "Just in time, these golden armor talismans have also been enlightened. Hurry up and call someone to try them."
…
The tent was rolled up by a cloud of green smoke and fell again. Jiang Ru landed heavily in front of the bamboo couch. Although she still maintained her human form, she held her waist tightly with one hand, her face was pale and she was dripping with cold sweat.
"It seems that you underestimate this official Zhao Fu." Liang Shuoan sat on the table with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.
There was no trace of resentment on Jiang Ru's face: "This little ghost Zhao, my aunt... I remember him!"
"The tiger he summoned was very different from the generals, soldiers and horses I knew in the past." Liang Shuo put down the empty cup: "The tiger and leopard spirits are greedy for blood and their ferocity cannot be suppressed, so they went to the altar to summon the generals.
, the nature and attributes are the most pure and untainted. Unless..."
Jiang Ru then said: "Unless it's an auspicious beast driven by the immortal family to protect the law!"
Liang Shuo glanced at Jiang Ru: "What? Are you starting to envy others? You, the Tianhu of the Jiang family, were expelled from Xuanpu, removed from the immortal status, and even your magic power is not as good as before. A god summoned by a mortal monk
The tiger spirit can hurt you like this."
Jiang Ru also had a temper, but thinking that now the whole clan, old and young, was living under the protection of others, and even she had to devote herself to this Young Master Liang, she had no choice but to suppress her anger and said softly: "Young Master, I am only a female, how can I know the battle formation?"
The matter of killing and attacking? I underestimated the enemy for a moment and rushed forward. Please be merciful, sir."
"Keep in mind the lesson learned this time and don't make such mistakes again in the future." Liang Shuo smiled calmly and looked at the light and shadow in the mirror: "This Zhao Shu is indeed interesting. He is still a talisman with such magic methods. What is Zhang Duanjing using?
