Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1562 Amaterasu
  As the elder of the Yin Yang family, Yun Zhongjun is an alternative.

While all the members of the Onmyoji family are pursuing extreme martial arts, he is best at alchemy, the first of the five realms of Onmyoji.

This is the first level of Onmyoji, and it is also the most useless level for improving combat effectiveness.

At the same time, because there is a famous sword Amaterasu on hand, which ranks among the top swordsmen, among the senior officials of the Yin Yang family who do not use weapons,
  In addition to alchemy, a skill that basically has nothing to do with combat, Yun Zhongjun's best skill is naturally the art of yin and yang.

However, he happens to be in charge of the famous sword Amaterasu, which ranks among the top swordsmen, so he is also good at swordsmanship.

Of course, he is said to be good at swordsmanship, but his level... compared to other sword masters on the sword manual, it can only be said to be unsightly.

However, if he really wanted to further his studies in swordsmanship, he might be able to achieve something with the help of Amaterasu.

It's a pity that Yun Zhongjun's own interest in swordsmanship is only a superficial taste. His favorite is Yin Yang.

To be more precise, his favorite is one of the many techniques of the Yin Yang family - the illusion of giant spirits!
  Judging from the name, it is just an onmyoji that favors illusion.

This is also one of the many extremely powerful Yin-Yang arts in the Yin-Yang family, which is one of the few that does not require high levels of Yin-Yang arts on the part of the practitioner - it only needs to reach the level of the second level of Illusion Art to master the illusion of giant spirits. degree.

The Yin Yang family has many miraculous arts, but Yun Zhongjun only loves this one.

As for the reason... he probably feels that this illusion method is convenient for him to establish a strong and authoritative image in front of others.

Moreover, with his half-skilled level of Yin and Yang, it is difficult to master a powerful stunt such as the Yin and Yang Aiki Mudra or the Manyo Flying Flower Style. Objectively speaking, the illusion of the giant spirit is his best choice. Too much.

At this time, many of the medicine men who had surrounded him had all been repelled by Shao Yu. Some were seriously injured and had lost the ability to continue moving, while others were able to launch another attack.

However, Yun Zhongjun immediately stopped all the medicine people's actions.

Seeing that the current Shao Yu was so unstoppable that these medicine men could not handle it, he stopped sending these experimental products up.

Although he had always believed that these medicine men were imperfect failures, they were fed with ghost-control pills one after another. The medicine was not cheap, and it was not appropriate to waste it casually.

When Shao Yu saw all these medicine men scattering and retreating, he knew that Yun Zhongjun was planning to go into battle himself.

At this moment, Shao Yu's momentum was rising, and Shao Yu, who felt like he was working hard all over, was completely justified when he saw this, and even took the initiative to challenge:
  "Old guy, it's your turn!"

Yun Zhongjun looked at the young man who became arrogant when he succeeded, and snorted coldly. A medicine man immediately crawled over beside him, carrying a long, curved and slender sword on his back.

The brass-colored sword head, the jet-black leather hilt, the unusual upward curve of the sword, and the sword body that is almost longer than an adult's body reveal its identity. It is the sword that Yun Zhongjun holds. The fifteenth-ranked sword in the spectrum—Amaterasu!
  The origin of this sword is said to be very mysterious and fantastic.

It is said that Xu Fu, that is, Yun Zhongjun himself, accidentally picked up a strange stone on the shore of the East China Sea many years ago. It looks like a sword and is as heavy as gold. Although the Kongwu man could not lift his hands, Yun Zhongjun used the method of yin and yang to refine it for ninety-nine times. Count, the stone is broken, and the sword comes out.

When the sword came out, the night in the capital was as white as day. The First Emperor was greatly surprised and ordered people to investigate, and they found out who Xu Fu was.

Lord Yun Zhong presented the sword to read, "The arc is like a cold moon, and the clouds are scorching." The First Emperor ordered all the ministers to look at it, and they were all amazed. The First Emperor was so pleased that he named it "Amaterasu".

This is a rumor among the people. In fact... of course it is not the case. Ying Zheng knew that Xu Fu... that is, Yun Zhongjun did not use the sword Amaterasu.

This kind of market rumor is just for fun, and it is normal for it to become more and more outrageous as it spreads.

Ying Zheng has always valued Yun Zhongjun, so he doesn't care about these rumors.

However, the Amaterasu Sword is indeed extraordinary, and the materials used to cast it are also extraordinary.

This sword was born with a scorching sword energy. When it fell into the hands of Yun Zhongjun, he used the metal yin and yang true energy to activate it, making it even more blazing. When exerted with all its strength, the sword energy was like a burning flame. Wherever the blade touched, it was as if it was being burned. It's like being roasted by fire.

Reaching out to pick up Amaterasu, Yun Zhongjun smiled proudly, slowly pulled out the slender blade from the sheath, and said:

"Do you know why I want these medicine men to fight you first?"

"Ha, of course it's for me to warm up, young master, and to help me have some fun!" Shao Yu didn't frighten him at all and just shouted back.

Yun Zhongjun burst out laughing when he heard this:

"Hahaha... What you said is not bad, but what you said is more specific, it is to speed up your blood flow and promote the power of the Ghost Control Pill to take effect as quickly as possible and more fully."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Zhongjun finally pulled out the entire Amaterasu Sword from its scabbard. The white blade reflected cold light, leaving no doubt about its sharpness.

"Finally, let me use this sword, ranked fifteenth in Amaterasu, to help you one last time!"

"Haha, it's your honor!"

Seeing this, Shao Yu didn't dare to rush up to fight him in close combat without anyone taking advantage of him. He happened to see the body of the medicine man lying on the ground that he had knocked down. He stretched out his leg, lifted the body into the air, and then jumped into the air. He got up, turned sideways for a week, accumulated strength, and kicked the corpse towards Yun Zhongjun.

Facing the body whirling and whizzing towards him, Yun Zhongjun smiled disdainfully and slashed the long Amaterasu blade in his hand. The blazing sword energy passed through his body, and the blade directly cut the Yao Ren's body in half from the middle. Everything was scorched black.

"Shaoyu!"

Shi Lan gave a loud shout at this time. At some point, he retrieved the non-attack shield that had previously collapsed and threw it to Shao Yu.

Shao Yu jumped into the air, caught the shield, and threw it directly towards Yun Zhongjun.

Yun Zhongjun, who had just cut the corpse in two, saw Shao Yu rushing towards him, curled his lips, raised his knife with his backhand and struck again.

clang!
  There was a heart-stopping cry, and Yun Zhongjun sheathed his sword and took half a step away. Shao Yu was directly knocked back, turning over in the air and landing neatly.

At the same time, Shi Lan clenched the ice soul in her hand and looked at Yun Zhongjun with hatred in her eyes.

………………

Under the secret room of Yunxiao Pavilion, in the darkness, Tianming, who had fainted due to successive injuries, moved his fingers.

Immediately afterwards, Tianming turned over with his back turned to the sky, but he still couldn't wake up completely.

At this time, a soft and warm golden light shone on his body, illuminating this dark area.

In the darkness, iron chains, either horizontal or vertical, could be vaguely seen. Under the iron chains, hanging corpses... they might also be medicine people.

Shao Yu's assessment was correct. There was indeed not a good place down this passage.

In fact, thinking about it, the chance that it is connected to Yunzhongjun's experimental secret room is a good place.

But for Tianming, although the land is not a good place, it is not a bad thing.

Yun Zhongjun has no special habit of hiding corpses, and this is not the cellar where he stores frozen goods, so... there is a way out.

Above the golden light, the three-legged golden crow with black feathers and golden patterns appeared again, landing on one of the chains, blinking its small eyes, looking down at the dawn. After a while, Tianming's fingers flicked a few times again, and then his eyes slowly opened, his eyes blurred.

The first thing that catches the eye is the three-legged golden crow.

When the three-legged Golden Crow saw Tianming getting up, it seemed to have received some kind of signal. It stopped stopping and flew up with its wings. It drew an arc in the air, flew over Tianming's head, and headed in a certain direction. .

Looking at this legendary magical bird, the groggy Tianming climbed up as if unconsciously, picked up the black eyebrow on the ground, and followed it with staggering steps.

Tianming didn't know why he followed this strange bird, but he did it subconsciously.

Following the trajectory of the three-legged golden crow, Tianming spiraled upward along a path.

Along the way, I also observed the surrounding situation.

Because there was no light source except the three-legged Golden Crow, which was emitting golden light, and what he could roughly see clearly was only a circle less than ten feet around his body.

But just such a circle was enough for him to roughly understand what kind of ghost place this was.

The large swaths of mechanism gear sets explain the location of the transmission systems of various mechanisms in Yunxiao Pavilion. This must be part of the mirage mechanism system built by the Gongshu family...or it was originally.

Now it has obviously been slightly modified by Yun Zhongjun and used as a transportation channel or something.

After all, his Yunxiao Pavilion Pharmacy is not convenient for a large number of people to come and go frequently. It is much more convenient and more hidden from here.

Although the senior officials of the Yin-Yang Family in the mirage probably knew about his dirty deeds, Yun Zhongjun was a kind-hearted person and did not want to make everything too clear.

However, after roughly knowing his current situation, Tianming also began to wonder where this three-legged golden crow was going to take him.

This road should take him away from these disgusting medicine men, but... it may not be the real way out.

The mirage was an extremely large mechanical creation, and the overall transmission system inside it must be extremely huge. What he just saw was probably just the tip of the iceberg.

Tian Ming doesn't know how huge the entire mechanism system of Mirage will be, but the entire system is definitely connected.

If you go along this road, you may be able to completely leave the agency system area and return to the outside world, but it may also lead to another agency area.

At this time, Tianming looked extremely confused, but his mind was extremely clear.

Following the three-legged Golden Crow, we finally came to a light source. It seemed that the bright white light group was the exit.

The three-legged golden crow didn't wait for dawn, fluttered its wings and rushed out first. After Tianming was stunned for a moment, he also walked into the light.

At this time, he seemed to have no better place or choice. This three-legged golden crow had at least been helping them.

Tianming could only choose to take one step at a time, otherwise he would leave blindly alone. Even if he escaped from the area, he would not be able to go back to save Shao Yu and Shi Lan.

A bright light flashed past, and Tianming closed his eyes subconsciously. When he opened them again, he found that he had arrived in a brand new area.

He didn't know what the principle was, and it might be some kind of illusion, and he didn't bother to delve into it.

There is only one thing he wants to know now - where is this?

It's the same dark space, but compared to where I couldn't see anything before, the visibility here is much higher.

What surprised Tianming even more was that what he was stepping on seemed to be a void, with no sign of a floor at all.

At the same time, Tianming also felt a little uneasy because it was too cold here.

I walked forward, but within two steps, there were faint traces of ice at my feet.

He quickly kicked his feet to shake off the accumulated ice particles, and folded his arms, shivering a little.

At this time, the true energy in his body began to protect the body on its own, and the biting cold air was gradually pushed away. Tianming was able to turn his attention away from himself and start to further observe the surrounding environment.

Looking up, the three-legged golden crow once again caught Tianming's eyes, stopping on the intertwined chains.

Looking around, he saw scattered pink light spots falling from the sky. Tianming subconsciously reached out to catch them, only to find that they were pieces of cherry blossom petals.

And in front of him, there stood a huge pillar that penetrated into the deep "sky". It was engraved with a large number of strange and bright runes that Tianming couldn't understand.

Looking further into the distance, you can see more identical pillars.

All kinds of wonderful sights made Tianming's eyes widen. He couldn't believe his eyes, and the last thing he saw made him doubt reality.

Because he actually saw fish!

Just above his head, in the void, one after another, they looked like carps, swaying their tails and swimming freely back and forth. Moreover, the fish were very huge, which reminded him of the Western Regions. Dead fish in the desert.

What the hell is this place?

I'm not dead, am I?
  After looking at the surrounding situation, this was the first thought that came to Tianming.

Before, he thought that the person behind the three-legged Golden Crow was deliberately guiding him, but now he only felt that he was probably too seriously injured and fell to his death.

Everything he saw before him might have been imagined by him while he was dying.

At this time, the three-legged golden crow flapped its wings and flew up again, flashing past Tianming's eyes and flying into the distance.

Tianming's eyes suddenly became dull, his mind fell into confusion, and he couldn't help but walk in the direction of the three-legged golden crow.

When he woke up from his daze, he no longer knew how far he had walked, but the scene in front of him changed drastically.

In the center of a circle of towering pillars, several huge chains as thick as a man were intertwined with each other, supporting a huge round ice platform - the biting chill I felt before dawn probably came from this ice platform .

On the ice platform, Tianming spotted the figure with his back to him at a glance - there were many things worth paying attention to on the platform, but the one that Tianming cared about most at this time was only that figure.

Although it was just a vague back view, the hairstyle and clothing were just enough to confirm that it was a woman.

But Tianming was very sure that he had seen this person recently.

Just recently!
  Just... that courtyard maze, when I first saw the cherry tree, the last figure that appeared in my mind!
  It's her!
  The Three-Legged Golden Crow must also be under her control, in order to... let him finally come here, in front of her!
  Everything, as if blessed to the soul, was instantly figured out by Tianming.
