Everyone from the Taoist sect rested for three days in Ellie's city lord's mansion, which was a great comfort to everyone who had been sleeping rough in Fengdan for the past half month. After all, there was wine and meat here, comfortable accommodation, warm fires, and
There is a beautiful maid. Although no one dares to have any evil thoughts under Zhang Yuelu's nose, it is good to be pleasing to the eye.
During these three days, Qi Xuansu was not idle. He asked Shangguan Dun to learn the language of the Western Continent. He did not want to be able to speak and write, but just wanted to be able to use some simple daily vocabulary.
As for Zhang Yuelu, she did not intend to learn it. After the banished immortal reached the stage of heaven and human, he could acquire a magical power called "Mind Reading Technique", and "Mind Reading Technique" also had a prerequisite magical power called "The Legend of Heart Lake".
"Voice" can bypass language barriers and communicate directly with the voice of the heart. She feels that rather than learning another language, it is better to directly practice this magical power.
Sanren naturally do not have such magical powers. They have neither "mind reading" nor "voice transmission from the heart lake". They only have "innate divine arithmetic", which is not as good as "Ziwei Dou Shu". However, the basis of "innate divine arithmetic" is
It relies on human power to calculate various variables to predict the trend, rather than relying on God's will to predict the future. Therefore, after practicing "Innate Divine Calculation" to a certain level, you can greatly increase your brain power, which is reflected in the enhancement of memory and understanding. .??
.
There was once a Sanren who was in the celestial stage and took nine days to completely learn the language of the Golden Account. He was proficient in sixteen languages throughout his life, especially proficient in inscriptions and oracle bone inscriptions.
Relying on the advantages of Sanren, Qi Xuansu was able to communicate with Arthur simply in three days using a few simple words and various gestures.
The reason why Arthur was sent to the East was that he naturally knew some Central Plains languages, but he struggled to speak them and easily failed to express his ideas. Originally, he had a companion who was very proficient in the Central Plains languages, but unfortunately he died on the way here.
, so Ellie is needed to translate.
In his spare time, Qi Xuansu also asked Zhang Yuelu about the similarities and differences between several major inheritances.
The differences between the several major inheritances of Taoism are reflected in various aspects, the most important one is the gap in combat power.
Taoism has specifically evaluated the combat power of several major inheritances without relying on external objects.
The Qi Master performs the most stably. It is difficult to defeat opponents whose realm is higher than one's own, and it is also difficult to lose to opponents whose realm is lower than one's own. They have always been the mainstay of Taoism. The Qi School among the three major inheritances of Confucianism is very similar to
Qi refiner.
Warriors and alchemists are two extremes. Before the Celestial beings, the warriors had an overwhelming advantage over the alchemists. After the Celestial beings, the alchemists could gradually compete head-on with the warriors, and even had a slight advantage, because it would be fatal for the warriors not to be able to fly for a long time.
The weak point causes the warrior to be distanced by the alchemist
, will be played with by applause. As for the fight between humans and immortals, ghosts and immortals, it is full of unknown variables, and it all depends on each person's performance.
Wu Zhu comes from ancient witchcraft and ancient immortals. As a path to Shinto, it is similar to the Buddhist inheritance. It requires a large amount of incense and wish power. The upper limit is extremely high and the lower limit is extremely low. As long as the incense wish power is enough, it can compete with the banished immortals of the same realm.
If you don't fall behind, you can even win the battle. If you don't have enough incense and wish, you will almost be at the bottom of the Five Immortals, and even worse than the Sanren.
As the leader of the Five Immortals, the sample size of the Exiled Immortal is too small, but there is no doubt that he is in a crushing situation. Compared with the Qi Refiner, he can defeat people who are higher than himself more easily, and he has no defeat against opponents whose cultivation level is not as good as his own.
As for the Sanren, they are all kinds of strange, they can win or not, and they can lose or not. It is always unexpected, depending on the number and type of magical powers that the Sanren has cultivated.
Since the development of Sanren, there are a total of thirty-six kinds of magic. No one has ever been able to learn them all. The principle is also very simple. Many of the magical powers and spells are inherently conflicting with each other. Not to mention other inheritances, we only talk about warriors and alchemists. Warriors pay attention to the spirit and soul.
The body and body are integrated into one body. If the alchemist wants the soul to leave the body and travel, is it a union or a separation? If he forcibly cultivates both, he will not hurt the enemy before hurting himself.
So far, the highest record of a Sanren is to practice twenty-four advanced methods at the same time, which is said to be comparable to the banished immortals. Unfortunately, this Sanren senior was also at the stage of heaven and human due to his miscellaneous skills and was unable to go further.
This has to mention the rules of the Taoist sect. No matter what the inheritance is, before being a deity, you must strictly follow the fixed route of the Taoist sect and learn magical powers within the prescribed range. After you become a deity, you can freely choose different superiors according to your own preferences.
Dharma, the Dharma of great success.
It is probably because Taoism believes that before being a heavenly being, one has insufficient knowledge and concentration, knows what is happening but does not know why, and is prone to going astray and going astray, and must be strictly controlled. After becoming a heavenly being, one has one's own discernment, and can relax control.
, except for a few forbidden methods and restrictive methods, everything can be practiced.
Therefore, in a sense, only when you reach the stage of heaven and human beings can you truly enter the palace.
Three days later, news came from Ellie's men that there had indeed been many cases of missing persons in Wugoshanli recently. However, the Western Region has always been a lawless land with rampant bandits and large population movements. The death of a few people is not a big deal.
The city lord's palace didn't pay much attention to the major events. It wasn't until Ellie ordered to search for traces of outsiders that these cases were taken seriously.
Through clues in these cases
, Ellie finally set her sights on the Black Night Mountain, which is about three hundred miles away from Ugo Mountain and the city.
This is a barren mountain, rarely visited by people. The vast Western Region is vast and sparsely populated, mostly in uninhabited areas, so it is not that unusual. However, a few hundred years ago, there once was a powerful wizard living in the Black Night Mountain.
, this wizard cursed the royal family of Ugo Shanli at that time, and manipulated the king to rule Ugo Shanli behind the scenes.
Later, the wizard died unexpectedly and suddenly. There were rumors that the wizard died in a fight with other wizards. Ugo Shanli was free again, until the Ai family lost the battle in Loulan City, retreated here, and captured Ugo Shanli.
Mountain away.
To this day, there is still the Cimut Castle where the wizard once lived on the Night Mountain. .??.
Jammut Fort was once a strategic fortress used to resist the attack of the army. It was later destroyed during the Golden Horde's Western Expedition. After the wizard whose real name could not be verified occupied this place, he only initially repaired some areas and
It has not regained its former style. After the wizard died, the previous rulers of Ugoshanli suspected that there was a curse left by the wizard in the castle and did not dare to approach it, so it has remained abandoned to this day.
In this case, although Fort Sanmut is almost in ruins, has complex terrain and is inaccessible, it is undoubtedly the most suitable hiding place.
After discussing with Qi Xuansu and others, Zhang Yuelu decided to immediately go to Black Night Mountain to exterminate this group of demons, and then return to Kunlun to resume his life.
Qi Xuansu, Zhou Bai and others often walked around the rivers and lakes, and Lingquanzi was also an old man from Tiangang Hall. Of course, they had considered whether Cimut Fort might be a trap, but after repeated discussions, they ruled out this possibility.
In the final analysis, it was the Taoist sect behind them that gave them such confidence. Few people dared to provoke the Taoist sect without any reason. Buddhism, Shamanism, and ancient gods dared to be enemies with the Taoist sect because they all had huge interests behind them.
The Ai family obviously has no such motive. In other words, the risks are too great and the benefits are too small. Smart businessmen will not do such a loss-making business.
Zhang Yuelu, Qi Xuansu and others spent a day formulating two sets of plans, and then left Wugo Mountain and the city the next day, heading for Cimut Fort in the Black Night Mountain.
Ai Li originally wanted to send soldiers to assist, but due to confidentiality reasons, Zhang Yuelu politely declined. Zhang Yuelu only took forty Tiangang Hall Taoist priests and Arthur to go.
It's not that Zhang Yuelu underestimated the enemy, but the forty Taoist priests of Tiangang Hall gave her the confidence.
The forty Tiangang Taoist priests seem to be a small number at first glance, but they cannot be underestimated. Because Qiniang has already said that
It is clear that the threshold of Tiangang Hall is the seventh-grade Taoist priests and innate people. The lowest level of these forty Tiangang Hall Taoist priests is the Kunlun stage, and the highest ones, Zhang Yuelu and Lingquanzi, are at the Guizhen stage. Even if they face a heavenly being, they will still have a battle.
Power.
This configuration is only at the bottom of the Tiangang Hall. It is like a house, just a simple frame with no tiles on top and no walls on the bottom.
The other deputy hall masters are like magnificent palaces. Because there are unwritten rules in Tiangang Hall, there are also forty official officers with a formal establishment, and there will also be two deputies without formal establishment, with eight unqualified officers.
Taoist priests of the first grade serve as each deputy, and each deputy is equipped with two temporary servants, who are served by the Taoist priests of the ninth grade. The main servants of a Taoist priest of the seventh grade are actually equivalent to seven people. Forty main servants are nearly three hundred people. In addition,
In addition, there are also spiritual officials who directly belong to the deputy hall master.
If he is the chief deputy hall master, he has three hundred officers under his command, which means there are more than two thousand people. Including the spiritual officers, the number can reach four to five thousand. This is why the deputy hall masters can rush to the aid of the Western Region Taoist House.
In the final analysis, it was because Zhang Yuelu's foundation was too shallow, and his subordinates had not yet had time to recruit deputies, let alone temporary deputies.
On the way to the Black Night Mountain, Arthur relayed some precautions through Shangguan Dun, such as not to let the sinners hurt themselves, otherwise they will become the living dead like wild beasts, and these sinners are difficult to kill, they have similar
Due to the characteristics derived from Wufu's flesh and blood, all external injuries will heal quickly, and only the heart and head are weak points. Moreover, when necessary, they will turn into bats and blood pools, making them very difficult to deal with.
This is completely different from the zombies that Tiangang Hall often deals with, but Zhang Yuelu is also prepared. He is not afraid of swords, but always afraid of magic. The configuration of the forty Tiangang Hall Taoist priests is mainly composed of Qi refiners, warriors and alchemists. With the cooperation of each other,
It can exert greater power than a single inheritance.
After arriving at the foot of Heiye Mountain, Qi Xuansu discovered that Heiye Mountain is actually just a small mountain. Not only compared with Kunlun, which stretches for thousands of miles, it is also much smaller than Maoxian Mountain outside Fengtai County. It can only be regarded as a small mountain.
Mountain bag.
After Zhang Yuelu observed the terrain, he first sent five qigong masters carrying telescopes and Zimu talismans to occupy several commanding heights to observe the specific conditions in the mountains.
Then Zhang Yuelu ordered ten alchemists to build a "Split Yin Halberd" formation at the entrance to the mountain, and then ordered ten warriors to block the ground with rocks and earth trees or use gunpowder and ravines to destroy the circulation of the earth's air, causing "
"Living water" becomes "dead water".
These actions are all about destroying the possible formations in Fort Sanmut from the outside, just like filling in the trenches and moats outside the city before attacking the city.
