Chapter 178 The Eight Ghosts Carrying the Jade City
Chapter 178 The Eight Ghosts Carrying the Jade City, A High Theory of Taoism
The Great Refining God General’s Dharma Conference.
It was a Dharma conference held by Master Xuanqi, located in the Shengwei Forest in Yunzhou.
The day before the Dharma conference was held, Song Lin was preparing to pack his things and go out.
This time I was alone, and the Dharma Assembly did not require me to bring any disciples or disciples with me.
Song Lin packed up the necessary things, told everyone a few words and left.
"I wish the spectator a great success!"
The disciples said loudly.
Everyone is full of confidence and looks forward to Song Lin's success in Xuan Ke Guan at the Dharma Assembly.
The way to be brave is not a small way, but the real great way.
Through this period of study, they knew that the rampant soldier system was not bad, and Song Lin was the founder of this system.
Song Lin flew to Yunzhou City alone.
This is his first time to go to the headquarters of Nanchuan Yinshan Shengwei Taoist Sect.
Shengwei Daomen is the birthplace of all dharma in the twelve jungles below it. Shengwei Daomen is dominated by the Ghost King Sect.
As the central jungle, it continuously sucks blood from the twelve surrounding jungles. After thousands of years, it has incredible heritage.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Song Lin also wanted to see the power of this jungle that controlled the resources of hundreds of millions of people.
Yunzhou City is fifteen hundred miles away.
Considering the dangers you may encounter on the road, it takes about half a day to fly there.
On the other side, inside the Meishan jungle.
Zhao Wuji also packed his luggage and prepared to leave for Yunzhou.
Farewell to his disciples, Zhao Wuji walked through the dark clouds and was about to leave when someone from behind suddenly stopped him.
I saw Taoist Master Huoyun stepping out of the flames.
"Are you confident that you can make a name for the jungle this time?" Huo Yun put away his flames, his expression looking uncertain in the night.
"Let's do it 50-50. There is a half chance of improving the jungle weapon refining method to the middle level."
It's not that Zhao Wuji looks down on himself, it's just that the theoretical upper limit of rampant troops is not high, and his combat effectiveness is considered to be mid-range.
After reaching the mid-level, the benefits and reputation will increase a lot.
"By the way, bring me a letter to a certain mage. Don't open it privately and don't ask any questions." Huo Yun's expression became very serious.
Zhao Wuji was stunned for a moment, and saw that the Taoist Master attached great importance to it, so he quickly agreed.
The status of a great mage is generally one level higher than that of a Taoist master, but he generally has no real power, or holds some functional positions in the Taoist sect.
After bidding farewell to the Taoist master, Zhao Wuji rushed to the Shengwei Forest.
Early morning.
The clouds are like fire, and a majestic city slowly appears on the horizon.
The city wall is thirty feet high, made entirely of cast steel, and is covered with densely packed runes.
Taoist priests and Taoist boys in Taoist robes at the top of the city.
Song Lin stepped on the clouds, bathed in golden light, and overlooked the majestic city below.
The majestic and ancient city is like an ancient beast lying on the ground, constantly handling the flow of pedestrians and vehicles.
There are many hundred-foot-tall buildings inside the city.
This is the most prosperous city Song Lin has ever seen in the world, and it is not inferior to modern metropolises.
And there is a feeling that ancient dynasties have completed modernization, even the high-rise buildings are antique.
Song Lin fell from the sky and entered the city.
The guard next to him has no cards at all, and a bronze mirror hangs above the tower.
The bronze mirror emits a faint golden light. Whenever someone passes under the bronze mirror, the bronze mirror emits golden light and sweeps it over people's bodies.
It turns out that manual body searches were replaced by magic.
Entering the city with the great current.
Yunzhou City is not divided into cities and towns like other places, and each place is strictly guarded.
The layout of the street is somewhat similar to that of a modern city, with shops on both sides and residential areas behind.
There are big red lanterns hanging on the trees on the road, with runes carved on them.
Song Lin saw the magical power of runes at a glance.
It's not a particularly powerful rune, it's a lighting charm that absorbs light during the day and provides lighting at night.
I didn’t expect that this city has nightlife.
Gradually walking inside, Song Lin found that there were quite a few things that combined Taoism and reality.
The city's population is estimated to be seven to eight million.
Song Lin did not stay or wander around, but went straight to the place Huo Yun said.
"This guy Huo Yun won't lie to me, right?"
The more Song Lin thought about it, the more strange it became that he had not found the Shengwei Jungle since he came in.
It stands to reason that such a large place should not be too hidden. Even the Taoist temple itself looks magnificent and can be seen even without entering the city.
Song Lin walked for a long time without even a shadow.
But think about it, Huo Yun shouldn't deceive himself. This guy shouldn't have a pattern, at least he won't deceive on this matter.
Thinking of this, Song Lin decided to walk along the original map.
This is a commercial street that specializes in selling medicines. In addition to ordinary medicinal materials, there are also finished medicines. The whole street has a faint medicinal fragrance.
Song Lin came to the largest drug store in the middle.
This was one of the places Huo Yun mentioned, and Song Lin felt it was relatively close.
As soon as I walked in, I saw an old man taking a nap there.
The old man was wearing ordinary linen clothes and looked old.
Although he seemed to be very weak, Song Lin noticed through his breathing that this person was very strong in cultivation.
"Fellow Taoist, please have mercy. How can I get to Shengwei Jungle?" Song Lin stepped forward and asked.
The old man opened his groggy eyes and saw the person standing in front of him. He was not surprised at all. It seemed that he was well prepared.
The old man wiped his face and opened the account book in front of him.
"The people below? Take out the token..."
Song Lin took out Huo Yun's letter of introduction and his own magic urn.
The old man glanced at it, his face became serious, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. He didn't expect that this young man, with his high position, was still the master of one party.
Thinking of this, the old man quickly stood up.
"I would like to express my gratitude to you, Master Song, for your mercy!"
Although he is a Taoist priest and a Taoist priest from the Shengwei Jungle, this man is also a prince, so he can't help but disrespect him.
"No need to be polite, please get up. Where is the entrance to Shengwei Jungle?"
The old man was stunned for a moment and said: "Actually, the whole city is the Shengwei Jungle. The Taoist priest should be referring to the inner gate, right?"
"right."
Song Lin was a little surprised that there was actually such a thing as an inner sect?
What he didn't expect was that the entire city was the property of Shengwei Jungle, which was really scary.
"Turn left outside the door. Between the 13th cross alley and the 14th alley is the entrance to A12."
While talking, the old man wrote Song Lin's name and position in the notebook.
"Thank you."
Song Lin took back the token and walked out of the door immediately.
The thirteenth cross alley...
Song Lin counted the numbers of the alley over and over again.
"Have you heard? Master Zhixin will also be coming to this conference."
Song Lin followed the sound and looked over. Not far away were two Taoists, one tall and one thin, who should also be among the participants.
"Master Zhixin? Didn't he have a quarrel with Master Meihua? Why are you here suddenly?"
"I guess I'm looking for inspiration."
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Zhi Xin was beaten to pieces by Plum Blossom’s theory of determinism, and was clearly at a disadvantage.
"Hehe, no matter what, if Master Zhixin takes a fancy to you, you will really reach the sky in one step."
"Really? Taoist Master Zhixin doesn't have any duties?"
"You know what the heck, I used to be the left official of Tai Chi in Zhou Jue Yin Tiangong. Even if he is resigning now, he is still not comparable to others."
"What rewards do you think there will be in this conference of generals?"
"I'm not sure. I heard this time it's the right to use a small piece of blessed land."
"What type of blessed place?"
"I don't know. Maybe I won't find out until I go there."
The two walked to the area between Thirteen Heng Alley and Fourteenth Heng Alley.
It was a thick wall. The two of them walked directly through the wall without looking at it. The people nearby looked normal, as if they had not seen the scene in front of them.
"interesting."
Song Lin thought secretly in his heart.
This should be the legendary hidden street.
The so-called hidden streets are the product of ancient times when humans and ghosts lived together.
There are special areas in the city that are inaccessible to mortals. They are inhabited by ghosts and monks and can only be entered through special methods.
Thinking of this, Song Lin followed closely and passed through.
Wow!
My vision went dark, and my body felt like I was stepping on cotton.
After standing firm, Song Lin was shocked and speechless by the scene in front of him.
Day turned into night in an instant, and the surroundings were empty and without any buildings.
Song Lin subconsciously raised his head and saw eight huge ghost kings in the sky.
Each of the eight ghost kings has different forms.
Some have green faces and fangs, some have bat wings, and some have eight heads and three heads and six arms.
The eight ghost kings are ten thousand feet tall, and together they support a huge city.
The whole city is like jade, glowing slightly.
The tall city gate tower has four characters written on it: Xuantian Jade City.
This is the inner gate of Shengwei Taoist Temple.
The eight ghost kings should be the guardian Taoist soldiers of the Holy Mighty Heavenly Master before he became a Taoist.
Song Lin felt a little overwhelmed by such a ghost king.
How powerful must a true holy mighty heavenly master be?
As soon as it entered, a strong suction force picked it up.
Song Lin's body flew up involuntarily, and then came to a huge piece of land in the southeast of the city.
The land is hundreds of miles wide, with black iron-like trees growing on it. The branches are like sharp swords, and the sword energy forms colorful clouds.
There is a huge palace in the middle of the Sword Tree Forest.
There was a flash of light in front of his eyes, and Song Lin suddenly appeared inside the palace.
The palace is extremely vast, and a group of people are already standing inside.
These people wear clothes of different colors and have different appearances. Some have deep yin energy, some look extremely decent, and some are as low-key as Song Lin.
Song Lin also saw a person, that was Zhao Wuji, whom he had trouble dealing with.
Zhao Wuji stood next to a middle-aged Taoist priest.
This middle-aged Taoist priest has a sinister temperament, with black runes carved on his face. The runes are slowly squirming like earthworms, making him look very weird.
When Zhao Wuji saw Song Lin, he did not say hello, but continued to talk to the middle-aged Taoist priest with a respectful expression.
Song Lin glanced at him without any intention of trying to get close to him, but just found a seat and sat down.
The entire hall is divided into four areas.
The location where Song Lin is located is relatively dark and is called a ghost area.
There are a total of four categories of Tao soldiers in the world: ghosts, demons and humans.
Song Lin's rampant soldiers are undoubtedly ghosts.
The surroundings were filled with people from all over, most of whom were masters of military training.
Just as Song Lin was listening to other people's messages and thinking about the conference, a shadow suddenly blocked his face.
Song Lin looked up and saw that it was Zhao Wuji and Lu Mingyang.
"Who is this Taoist Priest?"
Song Lin stood up.
"Why don't you hurry up and pay homage to Taoist Master Lu Mingyang? Taoist Master is a heavenly soldier. If you miss something, it will last you a lifetime." Zhao Wuji scolded.
Heavenly soldiers have always been superior to ghost soldiers. Ghost soldiers are also souls, but heavenly soldiers are the souls of monks, or elves born naturally from heaven and earth.
"I have met two Taoist priests." Song Lin was neither humble nor arrogant.
He doesn't need to curry favor with anyone, especially someone with such a bad attitude, who is obviously looking for trouble.
"This is the genius of the Meishan Jungle you mentioned. He is really proud of his talent, but he will soon test his abilities."
"Taoist priest, don't take it too seriously. I'm just being rude. Young people are born with calves and are not afraid of tigers. It's normal."
Zhao Wuji spoke for Song Lin for the first time.
Lu Mingyang snorted coldly. Without saying anything, he left.
Before Zhao Wuji left, he glanced at Song Lin lightly, with a hint of teasing in his eyes.
So it turned out that Song Lin suddenly realized that this was the legendary killing.
I don’t know what words Zhao Wuji used to make Lu Mingyang preconceive.
After thinking about it, Song Lin had nothing to defend. From his preset position, no matter what he said, it was wrong.
Before I knew it, the place was full, with probably hundreds of people.
Among them, the seats in the front two rows have names written on them, and there are no names on the seats in the back. Song Lin sits at the back.
Suddenly, smoke filled the air, and two figures walked out of the smoke.
Both of them are old men, but they are not as sharp as these people inside, and they look ordinary anyway.
Especially the person on the left, with his black hair disheveled and his eyes as thin as a stone without a trace of emotion.
Song Lin knew that the man on the left was originally called Zhixin.
Stop the mind, stop the mind, as expected, people live up to their name.
It's as if the heart is as still as water, and the ancient well has no ripples.
This is the mage who was arguing recently. In fact, Song Lin quite agrees with his point of view.
Of course, Song Lin doesn't think he is qualified to go up and talk to others now.
"Welcome everyone to this General Conference of Gods. Without further ado, the winner will be rewarded with a small cave sky with a lifespan of three years. The small cave sky is the time void sky of the Little Golden Altar, with a flow rate of one to twenty."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was in an uproar.
Song Lin's eyes were also a little moved.
Although it is not a panacea, if this small cave is captured, the Taoist temple's strength will grow much faster.
Hundreds of people were whispering to each other in the entire hall.
"quiet!"
Master Xuanqi's face darkened, and everyone suddenly became quiet.
"Let the Dharma Conference begin. The first part is about military discussion, and the second part is about refining and raising troops to fight. Everyone puts forward an argument, and I will grade it. Only those with grade C or above will pass."
Master Xuanqi said.
Then everyone spoke in turn, expressing their understanding of military training.
Generally speaking, you can pass the test if you are well-founded and have your own innovative points.
About half of people can pass.
There were many people in front and it was not Song Lin's turn.
The first link is actually a bit strict. It can be said that the second link is to verify the practice of the first link.
If the practice and theory are not consistent, you will be disqualified on the spot, so you don’t just have to talk about it. Not only do you have evidence, but you also have to win. This is the way for Taoism to verify Taoism.
Zhao Wuji relied on his profound knowledge to pass the test, which was ordinary and had no special characteristics.
At this time, Lu Yangming stood up and said: "Hello, two seniors, I am going to write a treatise on the source of the five ghosts that spread beans and the heavenly soldiers are rampant soldiers."
