Chapter 179 18 Immortal Art Restraint Methods
Chapter 179 18. Methods to restrain immortal arts
At dawn, the west gate of the Heavenly Palace.
A golden glow pierced out from behind the eastern mountain, breaking through the misty clouds and bathing the palaces of the mountains in golden light.
But the surroundings were still dark.
A group of five people walked out of the stone path and returned to the gate of the city. They had to wait for Ji Dao to take out the key to unlock it before they could enter.
"Master Immortal, the east, south, west and north of the Heavenly Palace are determined according to the direction of the rising sun. If the sun rises from this side, then this side is the east." Ji Dao explained while carrying the dragon egg.
"It is a positioning method."
Zheng Yun nodded and followed him.
"The colorful clouds have dispersed, and autumn is coming."
Ji Dao looked into the distance and said softly.
There was no colorful clouds in the east. It seemed that last night was indeed the last chance. If it was any later, the opportunity to take the egg would be missed.
But from this operation, the timing of taking the egg did not matter. It was a robbery anyway, so what was the timing? If the mood was good that day, he could go a few more times.
After waiting for a while.
Ji Dao unlocked the door, and everyone entered the wall built between the cracks of the Yixiantian Rift Valley. They walked around the corridor of the wall and walked back to the Tiangong area along the stone corridor.
As soon as they entered the Tiangong.
Everyone took off their gas masks.
Ji Dao said that the Tiangong area was located in a sheltered valley, with few sources of poisons, and there were various defensive measures, all of which were ingenious designs left by the ancients, so they didn't need to wear them when they came back.
But just after taking it off for a moment.
Zheng Yun put it back on.
The smell of Xiangsha is similar to Chinese herbal medicine, and it is an extremely bitter herbal medicine, which makes people uncomfortable when it gets into their noses.
"Master Xian, Master Ji, you are back safely."
A little Taoist priest was guarding the corridor, with a lantern under his feet, and he was dozing against the wall. Hearing the chatter of Ji Dao and Zheng Yun, he suddenly woke up and smiled.
While speaking, he was happy and looked behind Ji Dao. He saw the huge round black cloth at a glance, and his eyes were full of strange colors.
"You should go back too."
"Has Zhang Ergou come back?"
Zheng Yun spoke softly. This little Taoist priest was very obedient, and he was only fifteen or sixteen years old, with great development potential.
"Not yet." The little Taoist priest shook his head.
"Master Xian, you go back and take a look first. I'll go after I place the dragon eggs." Ji Dao said immediately with a twitch of his eyelids, and then looked at the little Taoist priest: "Go and get some good horses."
"How are you going to place the hatch?"
Zheng Yun asked curiously, and at the same time quickened his pace. The stone corridor of the Heavenly Palace was spacious and flat, and he ran very fast.
"There is a dragon field in the Heavenly Palace area, behind the Crane Courtyard. There is no need to specially hatch the dragon eggs. They can be naturally bred by burying them in the soil. It takes about three months."
Ji Dao patted the dragon eggs back.
Zheng Yun nodded. Ji Dao was an expert in this field, so outsiders didn't need to get involved. Let him raise it slowly.
I had asked about it on the road before. The dragon was huge, and it would take at least 20 years to raise it to adulthood.
Ji Dao thought it was too slow.
Zheng Yun felt terrified.
This dragon grew too fast, especially in its infancy. One year was one year. In the first year, it could grow more than two feet, enough for them to travel around the world on the sea.
The key was to have enough food.
You could buy some in modern society, but you still had to rely on local products outside the Tiangong area. People were born from the local water and soil, so the dragon had to eat those poisonous things.
Non-toxic things might be poisonous to the dragon, so Ji Dao had to refer to ancient books and carefully match the feed.
It didn't take long.
The little Taoist hurriedly brought two majestic black demon horses from the valley, and the elegant saddles had been installed long ago.
After summoning the ghost general to help him, Zheng Yun climbed onto the horse and sat firmly. He grabbed the reins and moved his feet slightly, and then he drove the demon horse up along the stone corridor quickly.
He really didn't know how to ride a crane and didn't dare to ride blindly, but he knew how to ride a horse. His adoptive father taught him, and it wasn't difficult.
The demon horse was very fast.
It took only a moment to return to the Tiangong Immortal Gate.
Zheng Yun hurriedly passed through the door, and after returning to the secret realm, he took off his gas mask and saw that the immortal gate behind the top jade table was still open, and Zhang Ergou and the others were still guarding in New York.
"Master Immortal, nothing happened."
Another little Taoist priest immediately reported.
Zheng Yun nodded and felt relieved. He changed his clothes in the secret realm and washed himself before going up to the high platform.
He stepped over the secret realm immortal gate in one step.
After a slight shock, he walked out of the black jade pillow immortal gate.
It was still late at night in New York. The single-family house was dark. The old bathtub had been running, and the sound of running water was gurgling in the white mist.
As soon as Zheng Yun stepped out of the bathtub, he saw a dark figure staring at him in the corner of the bathroom.
The next moment.
He immediately lowered his head.
It was a Western explorer's ghost soldier.
Zheng Yun pointed his finger and let it return to the secret realm. He strode out of the bathroom and walked along the corridor to the living room.
There were ghost soldiers all along the way.
They hid in the corners designated by Zheng Yun, or behind the doors and windows, or in the closet, blending into the darkness without moving, and a sudden twitch could scare people.
Wherever Zheng Yun went, the ghost soldiers automatically walked out of the dark, returned to the bathroom, and returned to the secret realm from the fairy gate.
"Master Xian, you are back."
Zhang Ergou and Kadester heard the footsteps and rushed from the direction of the living room. They were still dressed in full armor. Kadester carried a gun and Zhang Ergou held a blood-path magic weapon.
Looking at their outfits.
Zheng Yun realized that this ordinary house in the underground block of New York is already a small Hades Pavilion, and it also has a small Qianxian Daochang and modern technology.
Unless it causes a big disaster.
It is difficult for ordinary people to come in.
"Didn't it attract attention?"
Zheng Yun heard some sirens in the distance, walked to the window and opened the curtains to take a look. There were some people and cars passing through the block, but the overall atmosphere was still relatively quiet.
"No." Zhang Ergou shook his head.
"Go back and recuperate, let Ji Dao give you a few days off." Zheng Yun patted Zhang Ergou on the shoulder and asked him to go back.
"Thank you, Master Xian." Zhang Ergou bowed and returned.
"You should go back too." Zheng Yun looked at Kadester. His daughter was waiting at the pawnshop. This delayed a lot of time. His daughter should have been waiting for a long time.
Kadester came from the pawnshop to the secret realm, and he could only go back from the secret realm and let the little Taoist take him.
...
In the early morning hours.
A taxi returned to Jianghe Pawnshop. Zheng Yun got off the car alone with his bag. The rolling door of the pawnshop was still open, and a small light was dimly lit from behind the counter.
Zheng Yun looked down at his phone and walked to the door. He took out the key to open the door and went in. He lay on the rattan chair and kept sending messages. After a while, he put down his phone and looked across.
Kadester had already met his daughter. The location was in the fast food restaurant across the street, which could be seen through the window.
Father and daughter finally met again after 20 years.
His daughter ordered a table of hamburgers and fried chicken. Because it was early in the morning, only Western fast food restaurants were still open around, so his daughter could only meet her father in the fast food restaurant.
But it didn't affect it at all.
Two people, one big and one small, held drinks and chatted in the brightly lit and warm-colored store. You could see the smile from the heart on his daughter's face with your naked eyes, and the atmosphere was very warm.
The picture was quite touching.
This ending was much better than Xie Laoyu.
After watching silently for a while, Zheng Yun yawned. Everything else was arranged properly. Even if tonight's affairs were over, he could sleep peacefully.
Just closed his eyes.
Zheng Yun's phone suddenly vibrated.
Picked up the phone and saw that it was a message from Kadester: "The computer and clues have been obtained as planned."
This sentence was really cold.
It seemed that Kadester and his daughter met only for the computer and clues, and there was no family affection at all.
He looked up and glanced.
Although far away, Zheng Yun could still see it clearly. Kadester was sitting by the window, and the warm yellow light shone on his old face that had been through hardships, and he smiled like a flower.
...
In a flash, it was several days later.
Tiangong, in the evening.
Zheng Yun was waving the blood-patterned emperor sword in the wide field in front of the main hall, and Ji Dao was giving instructions.
He was practicing here with concentration.
There was also a group of people watching the excitement around him.
Zhang Ergou, wearing a plaster cast, sat on a stone bench at the edge of the venue with the Taoist priests who had just finished their daily activities. Whenever Zheng Yun showed some tricks, they applauded and cheered loudly.
"Master Xian is awesome."
"Master Xian is just talented."
"This sword flower is beautiful!"
Under the leadership of Zhang Ergou, everyone applauded, making the main hall of the Heavenly Palace, which had been silent for decades, very lively.
Zheng Yun was a little embarrassed.
This group of Taoist priests were really good at flattering. He had only been practicing sword for a few days and had just mastered a few basic sword moves. He might not even be able to compare with those old men in the park.
This group of people was just bragging.
They were not ignorant.
The ghost general was a thorough sea guard of the Ming Dynasty. He belonged to the special department and mastered the most exquisite swordsmanship in ancient times. Every time he made a move, he was no different from the image of the sea guard in the TV series.
Seeing the ghost general make a move every day.
Can't you tell the good from the bad?
"This swordsmanship is much better than that old dog in the blood coffin!" Zhang Ergou suddenly spoke up, and he had to find some words even if he didn't have any.
"Wait, have you seen the person in the blood coffin?"
Zheng Yun suddenly put away his sword and looked at Zhang Ergou. Hearing this, he remembered that Zhang Ergou had been avoiding the truth and had never bothered to torture him.
He actually knew that the blood sword came from the blood coffin.
He also knew what was in the blood coffin.
"Well, just once, when I sent the blood pill." Zhang Ergou's expression changed, and sweat immediately appeared on his forehead.
"Master Xian, I asked afterwards, Zhang Ergou is the nephew of Master Zhang." Ji Dao glanced at Zhang Ergou lightly.
"So that's it."
Zheng Yun continued to practice with a calm expression. Ji Dao was in charge of these things at the beginning, and he knew the right and wrong. Zhang Ergou was able to escape death, and there was also Haiwei's law to refer to.
There is no need to mention the old accounts.
Zhang Ergou has reformed.
Zheng Yun had thought about it earlier. Zhang Ergou and Zhang Zhenren both have the surname Zhang, and Zhang Ergou also controls the economic lifeline of selling stolen goods. He has a high status in Qianxian Daochang.
Unexpectedly, he is Zhang Zhenren's nephew.
This relationship and background are quite strong.
"Master Xian, you must have chosen the right sword technique. The blood coffin has an extraordinary origin, and the ancient sword techniques inside are also top-notch." Zhang Ergou touched his nose and added.
"Master Xian practiced it to give it face!"
"The old dog in the blood coffin must smile in his grave!"
"That's right, Master Xian is a person, he..."
Many Taoist priests of all sizes immediately followed up to flatter.
"Have you rested enough? Go to the Sutra Pavilion to read ancient books when you have nothing to do." Zheng Yun looked around at everyone, and finally couldn't help but drive them away, assigning them all to the Sutra Pavilion.
Everyone immediately scattered.
They all ran to the Sutra Library.
"Master Immortal, the swordsmanship in this blood coffin does have some origins. It may be that the royal family made some adjustments to adapt to the blood sword, but there are not many tricks, which is suitable for laying the foundation."
Ji Dao put down the swordsmanship and concluded.
Zheng Yun nodded. This is why he chose this swordsmanship. Other swordsmanship is mysterious, but it will take a while to practice it. It is better to start from the basics.
From a modern perspective.
The ancients' methods of gods and ghosts are the same as the attitude of the Immortal Supervision Department towards immortals. There are no gods and ghosts that are too outrageous. Even if you can't understand it, you can figure out some principles.
The Sea Guard has a set of judging standards.
It is the third, sixth, and ninth levels plus immortal arts.
Ji Dao explained it carefully. From the ninth level to the immortal arts, the power and weirdness increase step by step. The more lethal and unpredictable, the higher the level.
In addition, there are four gates of gods, ghosts, monsters, and immortals.
It is divided into Taoist arts and good and evil.
What Haiwei despises is usually the evil ways that are not justified and difficult to see the light of day. The Pregnant Demon Tower and Blood Pill belong to this category.
Ji Dao also said something.
Even the immortal arts have ways to break them. The ninth-level means can also break immortal arts. They are all mutually restraining, so the level is not important, but the vision and means are important.
The Tiangong ancestors who can be called the masters of Taoism are all proficient in astronomy, geography, gods and ghosts, and are familiar with various restraint methods. They have a lot of means, and they can kill with a wave of their hands.
Or they specialize in one way, and this way can dominate for a while, and no one can find a way to break it for decades.
The Lord of the Underworld Pavilion is an example. Before the Ghost Seal was discovered by Haiwei, the Lord of the Underworld Pavilion dominated one side and rebelled. The means of enlightening the ghost soldiers can be called the immortal arts of the underworld.
Even the ghost generals of the Ghost Suppression Department had to be defeated in the Underworld Pavilion. If they could not attack for a long time, they had to mobilize the immortal arts such as Hanxian to attack.
The Lord of the Underworld Pavilion can be called a master of Taoism.
But after several rounds of attacks, his netherworld magic was seen through by the masters of the Sea Guards. As long as he used fire to attack, he could break it. As long as he held the fire source, he could avoid being enlightened...
The solution was too simple.
The netherworld magic quickly fell into the mortal world. Coupled with the restriction of not being able to leave the Hades Pavilion, it directly fell to the third and sixth grades, and it was a crooked way, so the Sea Guards didn't even look down on it.
All magic has weaknesses.
The attacking ability of the cold fairy is unpredictable. Not only can it automatically search for living things, scatter and become invisible, and complete the attack silently, but it can also identify the enemy by means.
It is more efficient than modern weapons.
It has its own precision guidance and search, heat source sensing and odor sensing, and its individual size is so small that it is completely invisible. In ancient times, it could reduce the dimension to attack demons and enemies.
But it has to run away when it encounters fragrant sand.
It is also a bit difficult to encounter insecticides.
But it is difficult for ordinary people to see the key to the problem. The cold fairy is too confusing. The sea guard even makes it anthropomorphic. It can't even be seen that it is a bug, let alone insecticide.
So what Ji Dao said is indeed right. It is still the eyesight and matching that are the most important. The means are placed here. If the opponent can't see the mystery, then he can only wait to die on the spot.
And what they have to do now.
First, accumulate more means, and second, make all the existing means technological, such as ordering a box to carry the cold fairy in a portable way, and for example, integrating sword poisoning and firearms.
These must be done as soon as possible.
Only then can we go to the Red Mist Ancient City to see what's going on.
