Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 26: Killing Taoist soldiers, suppressing fire charms, fighting the Gu King, and warding off evil spirits ()

"In a person's lifetime, there are six organs to perceive the world and the sufferings of color. These six organs are eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind. They are also called the 'six consciousnesses'. It is said that Buddhist monks improve their practice by opening the six consciousnesses, until they open the seventh consciousness, the eighth consciousness, and the ninth consciousness..."

"The Taoist illusion array at a low level can only deceive one or two of the six senses at most, usually the eye sense and the body sense, so that what you see is wrong and what you feel is also wrong. It's like carrying a heavy load for a long distance. For the same distance, you will feel that you have walked farther than without the load."

The Taoist priest Zuo Yin Fu in blue robe explained with his eyes closed while leading Li Qing and his senior brother Zou Hu behind him and walked forward step by step.

Every step you take will leave a footprint deep in the ground, which can be used to determine the direction.

"So we just need to close our eye consciousness and body consciousness. Raise our self-awareness, choose a direction and keep moving forward, and this formation will collapse on its own."

When he said this, Zuo Yinfu turned around and opened his eyes, and found that he had indeed walked out of the fog and came deeper into the Chixin Temple.

Although this place is still some distance away from the main hall of Chixin Temple, the illusion array at this level will not hide too many changes. If we crack it, we crack it.

After looking at Li Qing and Zou Hu, Zuo Yin Fu's eyes paused slightly on the green and black spirit snakes coiled around them, and then he woke them up.

Li Qing and Zou Hu opened their eyes and looked around, and found that they had indeed left their previous position, proving what Zuo Yin Fu had said.

“Okay, just now you two just followed me to break the formation. Now you two try using the methods you just learned.” Zuo Yin Fu seemed to be interested and said so.

"Well, Taoist Zuo, if we Gu Masters don't cultivate ourselves, I'm afraid we won't be able to improve our consciousness and sense direction like you." Li Qing said this with some hesitation.

"Alas, that's because you usually rely too much on the poisonous insects. Put away the snake poison in your body temporarily. Consciousness is something that humans have naturally, let alone those of us who are practicing."

Li Qing and Zou Hu looked at each other after hearing this. They had seen a lot more people than them in recent days.

The elders who were as tall as mountains in the past were killed with swords by a young Taoist priest from Huoyun Mansion who had just arrived here.

It is impossible to say that they were not touched at all.

Li Qing and Zou Hu hesitated for a moment but still took back their snake poison as instructed. They began to improve their consciousness according to Zuo Yin Fu's instructions, blocking their visual and body consciousness and relying solely on consciousness to sense directions.

But because of this, the two of them could not see that as Li Qing and Zou Hu closed their eyes and turned around, the old Taoist in blue robe behind them shook his hands slightly, and a brass dagger wrapped with talisman paper and an ice cone wrapped with talisman paper appeared in his left and right hands respectively.

Poof, poof.

The dagger and the ice cone pierced into the vital points of the two men at the same time, and Zuo Yin Fu withdrew.

The snake poison in Li Qing and Zou Hu's bodies hissed and jumped out of the snake bag, but was avoided by Zuo Yin Fu who was prepared and let go of his hand to spray a piece of yellow powder.

The yellow powder was specially used to restrain poisonous snakes. Therefore, even though the two snakes had been raised to be quite spiritual, they were still cut into several pieces by Zuo Yin Fu who pulled out a dagger.

"Hahahahahahaha, you two little kids only know the mysteriousness of Taoism but don't know the wickedness of human nature. With your two magic souls, the power of my magic can be greatly increased."

As he spoke, Zuo Yin Fu took out two pieces of talisman paper and pasted them between the eyebrows of Li Qing and Zou Hu, who died with their eyes open. Then he stood up, held the seal in front of his forehead, and chanted the spell.

At this time, in the main hall of Chixin Temple, in front of the statue of Chixin God, Chen Qingfeng was seen sitting in the center of the seven bronze lamps, observing the compass in his hand and constantly adjusting it:

In the Chixin Temple, the two golden-armored divine generals, forty-seven silver-armored heavenly soldiers, and four hundred and forty-one bronze-armored heavenly soldiers summoned by the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals spell had already gained absolute advantage in the battle against the evil soldiers of the Gu people and the remnants of the four armed forces.

However, more than twenty greedy cultivators from southern Xinjiang invaded the temple from various directions. Chen Qingfeng could only disperse his forces to stop and kill them, so that the evil soldiers of the Gu people and the remnants of the four armed forces could barely hold on.

In the main arena of Chixin Temple, balls of golden and silver light flashed and flew. They could teleport to almost any place in this Taoist temple and defeat the enemy with more numbers.

Just Lu Cheng's spell of Heavenly Soldiers and Divine Generals is enough to defeat most of the immortal cultivators in the Qi Condensation Realm. Moreover, the strength of the independent cultivators in Southern Xinjiang among the immortal cultivators in the Qi Condensation Realm is in the middle and lower reaches.

The two divine generals Li Meng and Tu Nuhu cooperated with many heavenly soldiers to strangle an invading cultivator from southern Xinjiang. Before Chen Qingfeng could catch his breath, he suddenly felt a gust of cold wind blowing.

Huh, this was not an illusion. Along with the sound of wind, the lights on one side of the hall suddenly went out.

There were banging sounds coming from all directions, like the wind blowing on the door, or someone knocking on the door.

"Ghostly evil magic!?"

Chen Qingfeng was extremely alert. He glanced vigilantly at the constantly shaking doors on all four sides of the hall. At the same time, he condensed the magic fire with his finger like a sword and pointed at the lamp on one side of the hall, rekindling the light and maintaining the magic domain in the main hall of the Chijun Temple.

"I am a disciple of the Great Tang Huoyun Mansion. I have no intention of causing trouble to the two True Immortal disciples. It is just that it is difficult for a small cultivator of the Left Dao to survive, so I would like to ask for a Taoist book for my meditation and practice. If you can satisfy me, I will turn around and leave and never get involved in this matter again."

"What's so difficult about this?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Qingfeng, who was in front of the statue and inside the lantern array, took out a Taoist book from his Qiankun bag and threw it outside the hall which had been blown away by the wind.

However, not long after, the scroll of Taoism was thrown back.

"Fellow Daoist, are you making fun of me? I can't find a copy of Guizhen Sutra anywhere, so why do I have to ask for it from the senior disciple of Huoyun Mansion?"

At this point, the voices that filled the surroundings but whose source was unknown became sinister and their ulterior motives became clear.

"Hand over the fundamental Taoist methods of Huoyun Mansion. I don't want all of them. Just hand over the three Taoist books on Xiantian, Qi training, and building the foundation of Taoism. Otherwise, I'm afraid you will suffer the pain of being devoured by hundreds of ghosts!"

After hearing this, Chen Qingfeng looked around and stopped talking.

It was obvious that the evil cultivator outside the hall had no idea about the specific situation in Huoyun Mansion. Strictly speaking, except for True Man Chi Shen Zi and his twenty-four disciples, the other cultivators in Huoyun Mansion did not have the fundamental Taoism of the sect.

They are considered to be followers of Huoyun Mansion, but they are not disciples of this sect.

Therefore, even if Chen Qingfeng wanted to hand over the Taoist book, he couldn't do it at all.

If Chen Qingfeng was willing to hand over his fundamental Taoism, perhaps the evil cultivator outside would be satisfied. However, after Master Fan knew about this, he might abolish his own magic power and expel him from the sect.

In other words, there is no agreement.

boom.

Zuo Yin Fu was not a patient person either. The next moment, all the doors of the main hall of Chixin Temple were pushed open.

One after another, translucent ghosts, soaking wet, rushed into the hall with cold wind and rain. Then, they transformed into ferocious forms, surrounded Chen Qingfeng and attacked from all directions.

"Imperial order, the heavenly soldiers and generals, to protect my Dharma body."

At the same time, Chen Qingfeng waved the sleeves of his Taoist robe, and more than a dozen talismans flew out of his sleeves. Each of them turned into a golden shield with brilliant golden light, flying up and down around him, guarding him tightly.

The golden shield provides protection, and on the outer layer are the summoned Li Meng, Tu Nuhu and more than 20 silver-armored heavenly soldiers who are guarding with weapons.

This is a typical magician's fighting method: first protect yourself with various defensive spells, and then step by step seize the time difference to launch your strongest spell to win in one fell swoop.

In front of the statue of Red Heart God, under the double magical protection, the ghosts that were originally only raised by Zuo Yin Fu would find it difficult to defeat Chen Qingfeng in such an environment, even though he was much older than the former and had more advantages in magic power and spell accumulation.

However, when he was trapped by the Yi Mu Xuan Guang Formation, Zuo Yin Fu had already realized that there was a powerful opponent in the main hall.

So he chose to kill Li Qing and Zou Hu, and use the powerful souls of the two magic practitioners to enhance the power of his own magic.

At this moment, Chen Qingfeng was inside the hall and Zuo Yinfu was outside the hall, but if he wanted to walk into the hall, Chen Qingfeng had to give up his place.

A small seal that was flickering with faint light was floating in the air next to Zuo Yin Fu. The small seal was cut into six sides, and there was a picture of an evil ghost on each side. At this moment, driven by Zuo Yin Fu's magic power, ghost shadows walked down from above and joined the tide of ghosts that was attacking the Taoist temple.

“Kill, kill, kill, kill!”

Li Meng and Tu Nuhu, with the silver-armored heavenly soldiers who formed a simple military formation, continued to slaughter the residual souls and evil spirits pouring in from outside the palace.

Zuo Yin Fu also knew that facing the Heavenly Soldiers and Divine Generals who had cultivated to such a realm, the residual souls and evil spirits transformed from mortal souls were meaningless, so he killed the two juniors.

The soul strength of a person who practices magic is incomparable to that of ordinary mortals.

If ghost cultivators could slaughter mortals at will, the world would have long since turned into a ghost realm.

Zuo Yin Fu has been wandering in the Thousand Mountains Country for many years. The tribes there have been fighting for many years. When one tribe defeats another, they often massacre the entire tribe. After doing so, they are also worried about the backlash of resentful souls, so Zuo Yin Fu participates in collecting souls. Not only does he not have to pay anything, but he can also earn some cultivation resources. However, no matter how many souls a mortal collects, he cannot cultivate to build a foundation without a sophisticated fundamental method of Qi training.

Today was the greatest opportunity of his life! He would seize the fundamental Dao of Huoyun Mansion, and then escape back to the Kingdom of Thousand Mountains. At that time, there was no place in the vast world that he could not go.

"Water ghost, charge!"

Using the soul of a mortal to connect the Qi and fill it, Li Qing's senior brother Zou Hu was refined into a water ghost. At this moment, under the urging of the spell, the expressionless blue figure rushed into the Chijun Palace like a physical entity.

"kill!"

Li Meng and Tu Nuhu both held halberds and led the heavenly soldiers behind them to stab the water ghost Zou Hu fiercely.

However, the weapon clearly penetrated.

The red divine light on it also caused harm to Zou Hu, but this water ghost was reckless and refused to retreat.

The tremendous force that erupted from it pushed many heavenly soldiers back, and he even exerted force and swung his fists, knocking Li Meng and Tu Nuhu out.

The silver-armored heavenly soldiers that followed were even more unable to resist. As long as they were hit by a punch from the water ghost Zou Hu, their bodies would suddenly turn into a stream of water and disintegrate.

But every time he threw such a punch, the water ghost Zou Hu's body became a little weaker.

"The soul-burning technique? Controlling ghosts in this way is such a waste!" Chen Qingfeng kept changing the spells with his hands, but it seemed that he would still need some time to complete the spell.

"It's worth it if I can kill you! After collecting your soul, I have countless ways to make you spit out the original skills!"

The almost intangible ghost body of the water ghost Zou Hu finally came in front of Chen Qingfeng, and he threw a fierce punch on the golden shield wall.

The spreading water waves shook the entire golden shield formation.

At this time, Chen Qingfeng's spell seemed to be about to be completed. He began to chant the spell continuously, and the hand gestures of his hands became faster and faster, with drops of anxious sweat appearing on his cheeks.

Such a situation made Zuo Yin Fu, who was activating the magic seal outside the hall, look more and more nervous.

When cultivators fight, having the upper hand temporarily is nothing; the real thing is to have the last laugh.

"Fire Charm, kill him!"

After calculating the strength of the golden shield spell around Chen Qingfeng in his mind, Zuo Yinfu finally determined that he could win.

The whole person floated up with the magic seal beside him and rushed into the palace of the Red Heart God.

At the same time, on the beam behind Chen Qingfeng, several flames gathered to form a graceful female ghost, and Li Qing's face was faintly visible.

At this moment she laughed fiercely, coordinated with her senior brother's attack, and pounced on Chen Qingfeng from behind.

The water ghost is in the light, the fire ghost is in the dark, and because Li Qing's cultivation is high, the qualifications of the fire ghost as a spirit ghost are better than those of the water ghost, and the power that can be unleashed at this time is also greater.

The water ghost and fire ghost attacked from the front and back, and Zuo Yin Fu drove the ghost seal to fly over, putting all his magic power into it.

Even if there was an iron man in front of him, Zuo Yinfu was confident that he could smash him to pieces with this one blow. No matter what spell the young Taoist priest inside the golden shield defense was casting, it would be useless since he couldn't use it.

boom.

The water ghost Zou Hu, the fire spirit Li Qing, and the left-handed cultivator Zuo Yin Fu in the late stage of Qi training attacked with all their might, under the triple attack.

Although the defensive spells arranged by Chen Qingfeng were very solid, with dozens of golden shields stacked up and able to dissolve the damage layer by layer, in the end, the golden shields still collapsed one by one.

Zuo Yin Fu's ghost seal fell on Chen Qingfeng, but at this time the young Taoist was still waving his magic spell and failed to complete the spell.

Almost at the moment when Zuo Yinfu could no longer hold back and was about to burst into laughter.

Snapped.

Like an illusion, the spiritual seal hit the Taoist's forehead, and then the Taoist who was frantically performing the magic spell disappeared.

At the same time, the seven bronze lamps surrounding Chen Qingfeng went out at the same time:

The art of fire illusion, under Chen Qingfeng's exquisite arrangement, the phantom body in the lamp array did not feel false at all, and even had yang energy, so Zuo Yinfu, a ghost cultivator for many years, was bewitched.

A flash of sword light flew out from the corner of the Chixin Hall and pierced into the back of Zuo Yinfu, who was losing his mind.

This was not some sophisticated and powerful spell, just a sword strike. But it was enough to sever his life.

"You clearly know that I am an expert in formations, but you didn't take any precautions when you saw the seven lamps next to me. Fellow Daoist, forgive me for being blunt, but with your aptitude, even if you get the true teachings of the authentic Xuanmen magic, you will never be able to cultivate anything in your lifetime."

He walked out leisurely from the magic array in the corner of the hall. Chen Qingfeng's words made Zuo Yinfu so angry that he vomited blood and died completely.

Zuo Yin Fu was out of breath, and the water ghost Zou Hu began to dissipate due to excessive soul burning. Only the fire ghost Li Qing was floating in the air, wanting to pounce on people but not daring to.

"Alas." Chen Qingfeng sighed softly upon seeing this. Then he took out a jade bottle and cast a spell to absorb the fire spirit into it.

Taoism also has methods of raising ghosts, and the aptitude of this fire ghost is quite good.

But at this moment, the ground in the hall suddenly began to shake.

Chen Qingfeng, who had just begun to relax, suddenly had a changed expression and was pounced upon and pinned down by the divine general Li Meng, who had just taken a breath.

"Roar"

Immediately afterwards, a huge centipede suddenly broke out of the ground, and it crushed the statue of Chijun with a twist of its body. Under the rolling and crushing of its huge body, the entire hall turned into ruins in an instant.

He picked up Zuo Yinfu's newly dead body and was swallowed into the belly of the black centipede as he raised his head.

Fighting and struggling in the middle of the night.

Gradually, it attracted the attention of local villagers near Ishihara County.

They were fearful and terrified at first.

But after waiting for a while, the men looked at each other, the woman gently pushed her man from behind, and the old man nodded silently after thinking for a moment.

"Go ahead, that Lu Daoguan is good to us..."

"Go ahead, kid."

"If I die, you can be with someone else, but you have to help me raise Yazi..."

"Father, if I go, you don't have to go. Just one man per family will do."

Torches were lit and farm tools were grasped.

Under Chixin's gaze, in Ishihara County, one house after another lit up, and then, one fire dragon after another gathered together.

The southern barbarians gathered in Shiyuan County. They did not practice good deeds, did not support their parents, and did not love their children. It was said that they would do anything to raise Yin and feed poison...

Back then, Mr. Wang Yue came here, spent ten years doing good deeds, and ten years developing water conservancy. He promised the people of southern Xinjiang that their old age would be taken care of, and their children would be educated.

The people of Southern Xinjiang gathered together because of this, as did the Gu Masters who still had passion in their hearts. The resulting humanitarian trend was like today, like a rolling torrent, unstoppable.

It can be said that if Mr. Wang Yue had not set an example, and if Lu Cheng had not lived in the Temple of Wang Lingguan after coming here, everything that happened today would have been completely different.
