Ji Xiang followed the eight sect leaders to the so-called secret place of Shangqing, which had the word "Kunlun" written on it.
"Kunlun Cave of Shangqing Dynasty."
It is said that the ancient Taoist masters, Mao Ying, Wang Bao, and Zhang Daoling, together with the Nine Saints and Seven True Masters, all accepted the Taoist scriptures and worshiped the Queen Mother at the palace of Kunling.
Among the sect leaders of the Shangqing sect, there is also the goddess of the Queen Mother of the West. As the Shangqing, whether it is Patriarch Qingxu, Mrs. Nanyue, or Zhenjun Sanmao, they all recognize the Kunlun sect, which is also the foundation of the Maoshan sect.
This is just like how all the sects in Wudang Mountain have to worship Emperor Zhenwu. If the monks in the same mountain do not have a common inheritance or a similar inner canon, then they only have one thing in common: they worship the same main god.
As for the Shangqing Sect, after worshiping the Queen Mother of the West of Kunlun, they also respect Yuanshi Tianzun. This is not too unusual and has no special characteristics. After all, the Gezaoshan Lingbao Sect also respects Yuanshi Tianzun.
There was a formation running inside. Ji Xiang took a look and cracked it. It was just an entry-level sealing formation, and the formation had obviously been destroyed. After it was re-operated, its power was greatly reduced, so it could be destroyed easily.
"This was destroyed by two ancestors. They said that since the Taoist tradition is about to be passed on, the formation in front of Kunlun Cave is useless. In the future, people from Zhuhuo Palace will enter and exit through Kunlun Cave. If the formation is closed,
It would be too troublesome to crack it later."
"But I don't know why it restarted again, maybe... the mountain master."
The Eighth Sect Master conducted his own reasoning. He believed that the sudden restart of the formation was due to the actions of the Master of Maoshan Mountain. Ji Xiang heard this and asked:
"Is your mountain master here?"
The Eighth Sect Leader said: "If you want to suppress the Mountain Lord, the best place, the most convenient and direct place is the Kunlun Cave."
"I can't understand the ancestor's methods of frightening ghosts and gods, so I don't know how the sect leader is trapped in it."
"Previously, the four sect leaders came here to inquire, and then disappeared here. The ancestors told us that he had rebelled against the Shangqing and had been executed, and they wanted to remove him from the sect of the Shangqing... He was an innate person."
The expressions of the eight sect leaders were complicated. The two sect leaders of the Shangqing Dynasty had killed the four sect leaders who had taken the lead in the opposition. The innate masters had died unnoticed in front of the two sect leaders. The other sect leaders would naturally have died in grief and were frightened. If they did not want to die,
Then you can't go against the two ancestors.
"I'm not a coward, it's just that...the most important thing is the inheritance of orthodoxy."
The eight sect leaders opened their mouths and sighed: "Although I am irritable and stupid, I am by no means a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. But if I resist, like the fourth child, the sect will be expelled, the orthodoxy will be destroyed, and all the disciples will disappear for no reason. I'm afraid
They are all dead."
"I can die. After all, now that I have entered the path of spiritual practice, if I really can't avoid the disaster of death, then there is nothing I can do about it. It's just my own lack of spiritual practice, but I'm afraid that my lineage will be destroyed."
"I have been practicing till now and have created so many great achievements in Shangqing. The founders of Shangqing don't care about our orthodoxy because we are also a branch of their orthodoxy. The orthodoxy of mountains and rivers is not important in their hearts, as long as there is still some incense for them to control.
That's fine, but how can I personally give my own orthodoxy to them and destroy it out of anger?"
The eighth sect leader was filled with bitterness and looked sour.
Sometimes, dying yourself is not scary, but the people behind you are scary. Therefore, large groups are often slightly weaker when facing some loners. That is because loners have no scruples, while they have scruples.
Regardless of fame or status, the most important thing is often their orthodoxy or blood relatives.
Ji Xiang just nodded, indicating that he understood his difficulties, and then entered the depths of the Shangqing Kunlun Cave. There was a cave and sky here, as if there was a small earth realm within the earth realm, just like the East Mahayana Temple of the White Lotus Sect.
The formations were running weakly along the way, and they were all destroyed and then restarted. The Eight Sect Leaders told Ji Xiang that he only knew that the two Quanzhen Taoist priests were thrown here, but he didn't know where they were thrown.
.
"Do you think those two were really left here?"
"Yes."
Ji Xiang asked casually: "Then who threw it? Is it the next ancestor of the Shangqing Dynasty or the third ancestor of the Shangqing Dynasty?"
"It should be the Third Patriarch. The Third Patriarch left here and threw the two Taoist priests in."
The eight sect leaders looked in all directions and took the initiative to explore the path. Ji Xiang saw many formation patterns on the wall.
These formation patterns converged at a certain place, and there were many small formations that were broken. Soon the eight sect leaders heard a voice, saying that they had found the location of the Quanzhen Dao monks.
He used a tracking spell. Ji Xiang thought it worked well and asked him for it.
The eight sect leaders did not dare not to give it, so they explained the key points of it.
Ji Xiang studied for a while, remained silent for a while, and suddenly asked:
"I know that the Round Light Technique can be used to trace images, or it can be a hexagram or a hundred-mile or a thousand-mile tracking technique. It needs to use the hair, blood or clothing of the person being tracked. Your tracking method does not require any hexagram or
You don’t need to reveal your hair, let alone open your eyes, you just need to recite a mantra and then draw an arrow on the ground with blood?”
The Eighth Sect Leader smiled slightly: "I, the Shangqing Sect, naturally have some spells that are different from what is commonly seen. They are just unique."
"The formula is simple, but it is generally not spread out. You can give it a try..."
"Oh, it's just a unique one, that's it..."
Ji Xiang tried it, and sure enough, an arrow ran out. Then, Ji Xiang looked at the eight sect leaders with calm eyes.
However, as Ji Xiang cast this spell on his own, the inner scene magic tablet began to reflect, and the name reflected was not the Maoshan tracking method mentioned by the eighth sect leader!
[Divine Blood Guiding Technique (Heaven Locking Destruction and Escape Formation): An induction spell that sets a target to guide the way. The person who uses the Guiding Technique can find the set target location when he or she is lost. Its functions are endless. 】
[The current guidance position is the Heaven-Securing Escape Formation. When the leader approaches, the target point will be "guided"! 】
Ji Xiang narrowed his eyes.
When hunters in the mountains catch prey, they often set up inducement traps and wait for powerful prey to voluntarily run into the trap. In order for the prey to fall into the trap obediently, they will inevitably place some delicious raw meat near the trap and bring some with them.
Blood, under the influence of the wind, the smell of blood floats, and the prey will naturally take the bait.
"Am I prey?"
Ji Xiang was really disappointed at this time. Just now, he thought that the Eighth Sect Master was a person. After all, he had shown a straight-forward character before. He really didn't expect that the other party would actually treat the two ancestors of Shangqing with him.
After killing Yiyi, he still did such a thing to himself.
What gave you so much courage?
What kind of power drives you to do these things?
"Could it be that his body was taken away from him?"
Ji Xiang just thought so, but had no way to be sure, so he followed the eight sect leaders and soon saw a coffin placed on a beautifully carved white jade platform.
"Xuan Tian Coffin, there is a world within the coffin. Two fellow Taoists of Quanzhen Taoism, what I found is in that coffin..."
The Eight Sect Leaders took the initiative to move forward, seemingly guiding Ji Xiang to move forward as well.
But Ji Xiang took two steps and stopped.
"This...senior?"
The Eighth Sect Leader was a little puzzled, but Ji Xiang said coldly:
"The spell you just performed was not a tracking spell at all, but an induction spell. It is really rare. There are not many people who know the inducement spell in the Zhengfa. This kind of spell itself was developed by the Dharma teachings. If you... go to Maoshan, you can't
Did you learn a lot of unskilled skills from Maoshan?"
"Do you think I am an easy person to get along with? You treat me as prey, lure me here, and want to harm me?"
"You are so brave. Are you, the Qing Dynasty, not afraid of anything? I just killed your ancestor, and you immediately jumped out and slapped me in the face?"
"Eighth Sect Master, this kind of behavior of yours will make me look very shameless. I, the great Ming Dao Master, don't want to kill too many lives."
The eighth sect leader fell silent, then changed his face and said fiercely:
"You say that Xia Maoshan's spells are not good, but don't you know it yourself? Otherwise, how could you recognize this divine blood guidance technique?"
Ji Xiang said calmly: "I know a lot of magic, there is no need to report to you, an ant!"
"Before I kill you, you'd better give me a normal explanation!"
The Eighth Sect Master laughed, but his expression looked helpless, and his helplessness gradually turned into ferocious and crazy towards himself:
"We have no choice! You killed our ancestor. After this is over, you can just walk away. But what are we going to do?"
"Are we going to abandon Shang Maoshan and break up each other? Are we going to give up on the inheritance that has lasted for thousands of years?"
"When Kunlun Terrace opens again, the founders of the Zhuhuo Palace will decline, and they will definitely liquidate us useless people. The third patriarch has said something similar before, if we are useless, they will replace us all.
"
"But the only good thing is that they will preserve our orthodoxy."
"My orthodoxy, as I just told you, can never be broken."
"So I took the risk and hoped to lock you here. Even if I can't kill you, at least I won't be able to get out. When the Kunlun Platform opens next time and the Patriarchs descend, we can have an explanation if you die."
"As for your companions, we will never touch them. By now, the other sect leaders should have driven them down the mountain."
"Maoshan is not a good place. Now in order to uphold the ancestral scriptures of the Qing Dynasty, the two lineages have completely ignored the Taoism of Shanhe, and things like Zhengfa have also been forgotten. We cannot understand the thoughts of the ancestors of Lishanhe, but we
You must follow their teachings... Before your companions go down the mountain, we will tell them not to come back next time, no matter what happens."
The eighth sect leader looked at the coffin, and Ji Xiang said calmly:
"You can't understand the thoughts of Satoyama and you still want to follow their teachings? The principles of the ancestors may not be correct. People have experienced thousands or even tens of thousands of years of changes, and their hearts have already changed. The Satoyama I have seen
Most of the people in the river are like this."
"It's very strange, but also very reasonable. After all, there is a saying in Taoism, which is called Taishang Wangqing."
"Completely ruthless, it is also a state of supreme forgetfulness. I have not practiced to this level, so I cannot understand it for the time being. I think you should not understand it either, let alone follow it."
"Also, I'm afraid your formation won't be able to trap me."
Ji Xiang raised his hand to use thunder, but at this time he heard some shouting sounds coming from the Xuantian coffin.
The Eighth Sect Master explained: "I said, your two companions of Quanzhen Dao are in that coffin. If you want to save them, you must enter the formation and take a walk. If you destroy this formation, then Xuantian will
The coffin can no longer be opened."
"Master Taoist of the Ming Dynasty, I know that the imperial court hawks and dogs have never had any feelings, but you are a member of the Taoist sect after all. If you could refuse to save these two people, you wouldn't come here with me."
"By the way, the Mountain Lord is also in the coffin. This is the only way to save his life. He can't let go of the Shangqing sect, so we help him put it down. From now on, as long as the Mountain Lord doesn't die, the Shangqing can be rebuilt sooner or later. As for us
....If you have offended the Patriarch, it will be enough if you can keep the orthodoxy."
Ji Xiang laughed angrily:
"Aren't you afraid that I will go back the way I came from, come out of the Kunlun Cave, kill all your superiors and every one of you, and then accuse you of being evil?"
"I am a member of the imperial court. Whatever I say at that time will be whatever I say!"
