Honghuang: My understanding is beyond belief. I am the first immortal of Jiejiao.

Chapter 246: There is a formation within the formation, Yao Tianjun secretly takes the soul, Jiang Ziya encounters life and death again
Jiang Ziya, under the protection of Yang Jian, Nezha and others, pretended to be mysterious and said nothing. After watching the Ten Absolute Formations, he returned to Xiqi City and sat down.

Naturally, there was no need to pretend in his own Yin'an Palace. Facing Yang Jian's question, Jiang Ziya told the truth.

Yes, that Jiang Ziya is also a disciple of Yuanshi Yuanzun, a disciple of Yuxu of the Chanjiao. When it comes to catching evil spirits and ghosts, drawing talismans and curing feng shui, it's really not nonsense.

Even when it comes to governing the government and commanding troops in battle, he is still quite capable. However, it is understandable that Jiang Ziya was unaware of the formation created by the disciples of Jiejiao.

It’s not a big deal that Jiang Ziya doesn’t know how to form formations.

However, this made the second disciple of Saint Hunyuan, Long Ji, and his grandson, Xiao Yangchan, a little depressed.

Obviously, I was accompanying you, Prime Minister Jiang, to observe the formation. As an expert in formations, I dared not speak loudly. It turned out that you did not understand anything.

After all this time, I, the caregiver, am the protagonist!
After Jiang Ziya openly admitted that he did not know the formation, Yang Jian asked cautiously,
"I wonder, Prime Minister, how should we deal with the formation of the Chaoge army?"

Jiang Ziya waved his hands and spoke helplessly.

"Let's hang up the banner of exemption from war and wait for Zhulin State Master to come back, then we can discuss countermeasures. At the same time, spread the word that we are considering a way to break the formation."

Jiang Ziya dismissed all the civil and military officials and returned to his own residence without even asking for the opinions of his generals.

Long Ji couldn't go forward and tell himself that he had seen through the formation. Let Jiang Ziya hand over the power of commanding troops. Therefore, Long Ji also took his own disciples, Xiao Yangchan, back to the mansion without mentioning his brother.

The city of Xiqi put up a sign of no war, so naturally scouts came to report to the Chaoge military camp.

Shen Gongbao quickly gathered the ten Heavenly Kings to discuss countermeasures.

"Haha! Which Jiang Ziya is willing to fight? It's obvious that he doesn't understand the wonderful use of my Ten Absolute Formation, so he has no choice but to do so."

Qin Tianjun stood up and expressed his opinion.

"In my opinion, our Chaoge army has already gained the upper hand. What's the point of talking about rules and Taoist lineage? We might as well charge directly into Xiqi City and capture the Martial King Bo Yikao and Jiang Ziya."

"A snake cannot survive without a head, and a bird cannot fly without wings. Without a leader, the Xiqi army will naturally fall apart and scatter in all directions."

"If Chaoge doesn't resort to war, the rebellion will cease. Why not do it?"

As soon as Zhang Tianjun finished speaking, a sinister voice sounded. The Tianjuns looked and saw that it was Yao Tianjun.

This Yao Tianjun has some unorthodox skills. He is used to drawing talismans and using nail-head magic to capture people.

Yao Tianjun stood up and laughed.

"According to what Fellow Daoist Zhang said, it is quite simple. We don't even need to fight with Jiang Ziya to kill him. The magic of my Taoist school is profound, how can it be known by ordinary people."

After hearing what Yao Tianjun said, the other nine Tianjuns understood it in detail and agreed with it deeply.

However, the Imperial Master Shen Gongbao still didn't quite understand. However, being able to capture and kill Xiqi's commander Jiang Ziya easily was a great achievement. To capture a thief, you must first capture the leader.

A trace of greed flashed in Shen Gongbao's eyes, and he quickly said to Yao Tianjun:
"Fellow Daoist Yao has this miraculous skill. He was able to take down Xiqi City without using any weapons, thus saving lives. He is truly a saint who has done immeasurable merits and is a savior."

"I just don't know, if Daoist Brother Yao can succeed, how many days will it take?"

Yao Tianjun looked at Shen Gongbao with disdain.
"Within thirty-seven days, Jiang Ziya will be killed." Shen Gongbao was overjoyed when he heard this. Thirty-seven days is twenty-one days. For these Taoists who practiced meditation, it was far less than the time spent on one practice.

Immediately, Shen Gongbao took office as Yao Tianjun and used magic to seize Jiang Ziya's soul.

Yao Tianjun also took the lead and immediately stepped into his own soul-falling formation. He ordered the soldiers to build a dirt platform several feet high and set up an incense table. A straw man was tied on the platform with the name of Jiang Shang written on it.

Three oil lamps are lit on the straw man's head, representing the three souls of heaven, earth and man in the human body, also called soul-urging lamps; seven lamps are lit under his feet, representing the seven souls of corpse dog, Fu Shi and Que Yin, also called soul-promoting lamps.

Seeing that everything was arranged properly, Yao Tianjun then let his hair down and drew his sword, circulated the Tian Gang, chanted spells, burned talismans, and worshipped Jiang Ziya three or four times a day.

Jiang Ziya was restless in the prime minister's residence and just wanted to sleep. He had to stop all military and political affairs.

……

Let's talk about the Hunyuan Saint Lin Zhu, who was chatting with Yun Zhongzi in Jinzhu Cave. He saw Lei Zhen going to Xiqi, and he silently practiced his profound skills and immediately knew the details of Xiqi.

"Haha, this is the Ten Absolute Formation created by the disciples of Jiejiao. How can ordinary disciples break it?"

"Alas, your cultivation is not good enough. You forced yourself to go down the mountain and change the fate of the country against the will of heaven. You deserve this disaster. This is the will of heaven. How can human power change it?"

"I'd better wait until your disaster is over before I return to Xiqi to take charge of military affairs!"

Thinking of this, Lin Zhu bid farewell to Yun Zhongzi, rode on the iron-eating beast, and headed straight for the East China Sea.

In Lin Zhu's memory, in this Dongsheng Shenzhou, on the coast of the East China Sea, there is a magical stone left over from when Nuwa repaired the sky.

As for stones, for the Hunyuan Saint Lin Zhu, there were a lot of stones of various properties. It was not necessary for him to go to the East China Sea and pick up a piece of the sky-repairing stone left by Nuwa.

To put it bluntly, Lin Zhu came here just for the natural stone monkey.

The human-shaped stone absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the essence of the sun and moon. One day, it will break and become a stone monkey that can learn human language, walk, run and jump.

I have already killed the six-eared macaque, so I guess there won't be two stone monkeys in this life.

Tianpeng has already appeared, Yang Jian and Nezha have also appeared. It's time for the stone monkey to show up as well.

Even if it is not the time for the stone monkey to show up yet, with my own cultivation as a Hunyuan Sage, there is a way to make the stone monkey come out earlier, right?
All you need to do is input spiritual energy, practice profound skills silently, reverse yin and yang, and change your fate against all odds.

The most important point is that this stone monkey must not end up being used by the Western Sect. Anyway, the Jie Sect teaches everyone, so why not accept another stone monkey as a disciple?

Thinking of this, Lin Zhu silently practiced his profound skills and released his spiritual consciousness. The infinite vitality of the East China Sea appeared in the saint's mind.

Suddenly, Lin Zhu discovered a huge human-shaped rock standing on the top of the cliff beside the East China Sea.

After hundreds of thousands of years, a stone monkey has been bred in this huge stone. The stone monkey's heart is beating regularly, but it is covered by the sound of the sea waves.

Lin Zhu came to the boulder and dismounted the iron-eating beast. He stretched out his right hand and placed it on the boulder. A stream of spiritual power slowly flowed into the stone and flowed through the veins of the stone monkey.
