Chapter 307 Ah Qing vs Zhang Daoling, the Three Swords Agreement
"This old young Taoist priest, please wait a moment."
Seeing Zhang Tianshi walking forward, Huang Rong hurriedly called out.
"My name is Xu Jing. If you don't want to call me 'Zhang Tianshi', you can just call me Old Taoist or Mr. Xu Jing," Zhang Tianshi stopped and frowned, saying, "Don't use weird names."
As the contemporary Taoist priest of Longhu Mountain, he has reached the highest level of rejuvenation, and is known as the second best Taoist priest in the world with Wang Wenqing and Lin Lingsu.
Once his merits are fulfilled, he can ascend to heaven in broad daylight like his ancestor Zhang Daoling.
At this level, even if one is humble and peaceful, there is a natural sense of pride.
"Why is it Taoist Zhang again..."
Huang Rong frowned slightly: "You look so small, it's really awkward."
"... Others can't ask for my appearance."
Zhang Jixian felt a little unhappy and snorted: "Let's not talk about this, why did you call me, little girl?"
"You seem to be very capable, and most ordinary monsters and ghosts can't hurt you."
Huang Rong pointed at the disciples of the Tianshi Mansion who were lying on the ground: "But your disciples are not very good. If they make a lot of noise, there may be few survivors here."
"Hmm? Hmm..., that makes sense. I have been alone for a long time and haven't dealt with people much, so I forgot about this."
Zhang Jixian nodded to Huang Rong to express his gratitude, and said loudly: "Tongxu obeys your orders."
"I'm here!"
Hearing the boss's words, Taoist Tongxu did not dare to neglect and said quickly.
"First, transfer these disciples to a safe place, and then find a few Taoists with good skills to send all the pilgrims and woodcutters out of the mountain." Zhang Jixian waved his hand and said, "The area within a five-mile radius of the Demon Subduing Hall must be cleared, and the mountain protection formation must be activated throughout Longhu Mountain. No delay is allowed." He still maintains an innocent Taoist boy look. Speaking of this, he seemed very old-fashioned and gave people a feeling of being out of place. "Follow the order of the Heavenly Master!" Taoist Tongxu and the two yellow-robed Taoists discussed for a few words. One of them cast a spell to summon a hurricane to sweep away the disciples, and the other hurriedly left with Taoist Tongxu. In an instant, only Lin Xuan and four others were left in the huge Heavenly Master's outer courtyard. Then, the sound of bells rang loudly all over the Heavenly Master's Mansion, continuously. Thousands of Taoists, their families, and servants gathered and began to evacuate in an orderly manner. "Very efficient."
Lin Xuan waited for a moment and smiled, "It should be almost evacuated. Please ask the Heavenly Master to lead the way."
"Well, please follow me, all three."
Zhang Jixian sighed, and with a heavy look, he led the way into the Sanqing Hall, and then turned out from the back of the hall.
He was short, but he walked without touching the ground, as if he was riding the wind.
Ordinary masters had to use light skills to keep up.
In a moment, everyone passed through the Ziwei Hall, Beiji Hall, and Quxie Hall, and came to the depths of the right corridor.
This is an independent hall.
The four sides are red mud walls; there are two vermilion doors in the front, with dozens of talismans pasted on them crosswise, and locked with fist-like copper locks.
The copper locks are also engraved with mysterious talismans, and the lock cores are also poured with copper liquid.
In front of the eaves is a vermilion lacquer gold-lettered plaque with four golden characters "The Hall of Subduing Demons" written on it.
"It is said that this Demon-Subduing Hall was built by the Han Dynasty Patriarch when he was refining elixirs in Longhu Mountain. It was built more than a hundred years earlier than the Tianshi Mansion."
"It is said that after the Demon-Subduing Hall was built, the Patriarch placed the Demon-Subduing Stone Stele inside and ordered that no disciples of the Tianshi could enter without permission."
Zhang Jixian stood at the entrance of the hall, his voice a little ethereal: "Because it was the Patriarch's order, the hall has been opened less than ten times in the past thousand years. Only a few Taoist masters have entered to inject magic power into the magic circle and perform some necessary operations. repair and cleaning."
"Hmm? There is such a saying?"
Ah Qing was stunned for a moment: "Isn't this place Guan Tiangang Disha Demon Star? Have we come to the wrong place?"
"Don't worry, little girl, I haven't finished yet..."
Zhang Jixian shook his head and said: "During the Tang Dynasty, the thirty-six Tiangang stars and seventy-two Disha stars descended to the world ahead of time, which collided with the national destiny and led to the Anshi Rebellion, and the mountains and rivers were shaken."
"Anshi Rebellion? I heard that it was very tragic at that time."
Huang Rong sighed softly: "The palaces were burned down, and only one in ten survived. People The smoke stopped, and the land was desolate for thousands of miles."
"The little girl is well-informed and has a good memory, that's true."
Zhang Jixian nodded and said, "It is said that at that time, a master with extremely high cultivation could not stand it, so he personally captured these evil stars that disturbed the country's destiny and sealed them all here."
"Yeah, I have heard of this."
A Qing's beautiful eyes lit up when she found that it was finally related to the Water Margin plot: "During the Tang Dynasty, your ancestor Dong Xuanzi sealed them, right?"
"None of the ancestors of our sect has the Taoist name 'Dong Xuanzi'..."
"Besides, the one who sealed the evil stars The person's means are extremely profound. Throughout the Tang Dynasty, the Tianshi Mansion should not have produced such a master. "
Zhang Jixian said in a deep voice: "I guess this is the former Lu Dongbin who took action under the pseudonym of Dongxuanzi."
"Well, I have met Lu Chunyang once. Although this person acts freely and unrestrainedly, he never forgets to save the world and save people in his heart, so it is not surprising that he did this. "
Lin Xuan pondered and said: "But according to what the Tianshi said, the demon-suppressing stone tablet was erected by the ancestor of your sect, and the demon star was captured by Lu Zu. There is no relationship between the two?"
Lin Xuan has had some dealings with the Eight Immortals.
Naturally, this group of people cannot be said to be bad people, and they can indeed be said to have compassion for the common people.
But there are differences between immortals and mortals. In addition, they are controlled by heaven, so they also have many concerns.
It is okay to save people and get rid of demons as much as possible, but if it involves the overall situation of the world, they often withdraw to avoid being contaminated by the cause and effect.
Lu Dongbin was willing to shoulder the blame and took the initiative to seal the demon, which was not easy.
"There is still some relationship..."
Zhang Jixian coughed slightly, with a slightly complicated look on his face: "According to the Bimen classics, after Nadong Xuanzi saw the demon-suppressing stone tablet that day, he said that although the stone tablet had a great relationship, the material of the stone tablet itself was excellent, and the formations carved on it were even better. It is extremely mysterious and can be used for two purposes.”
"On that day, Dong Xuanzi used his great magic power and supernatural powers to open up a cave with a depth of ten thousand feet under the main hall and sealed the demon star inside."
"Afterwards, Dong Xuanzi erected the demon-suppressing stone tablet above the crypt, and suppressed all the 108 demon stars. He also chiseled the four characters 'open in case of flood' on the back of the stone tablet, and then it floated away ”
"The following generations of heavenly masters thought that they were not as powerful as Dong Xuanzi and did not dare to enter the temple."
Zhang Jixian pointed to the cover of the talismans cross-posted on the door: "So it is said that a generation of heavenly masters personally used their magical powers to add a cover, which was considered as a token of their feelings. It was not until a period of time ago that Lieutenant Hong Xin Hong came here to open the hall and let him go. Demon Star, this has not delayed Dong Xuanzi’s arrangements.”
"Well, that means this demon-suppressing stone tablet has suppressed the demon star for hundreds of years. The fate has already been intertwined. Only by completely destroying it can the cause and effect be resolved."
Lin Xuan thought deeply: "But your demon-suppressing stone tablet itself also has an extraordinary origin. The person who acted like this probably has a deeper meaning."
"Most likely, Lu Dongbin discovered that something was not right about the demon-suppressing stone tablet at that time, but he could not completely eliminate the monsters in the stone tablet, so he connected the stone tablet with the magic star."
Huang Rong pursed her lips and smiled: "Fight poison with poison and let them fight each other to the death."
"Girl's guess..."
Zhang Jixian said thoughtfully: "It's somewhat possible."
"Okay, we all know what happened, so there's no need to speculate."
Lin Xuan stared at the huge copper lock: "Can the Heavenly Master open the door of the palace first and let us take a look inside?"
"Now that Hong Xin is not here, this hall has not arrived at the right time, so we can only break it by force."
Zhang Jixian hesitated for a moment, with a look of confidence in his eyes: "It's not difficult at all."
As soon as he thought about it, Zhang Jixian's eyes were already shining with purple thunder, like traveling thunder snakes, which made people feel heart palpitations involuntarily.
Boom!
Then there was a dull sound of thunder in the sky and the earth. The wild thunder fell on Zhang Jixian's palm and turned into a purple thunder python several times thicker than Zhang Jixian's arm.
"disease!"
Zhang Jixian shouted sharply and pushed forward with his palm.
The thunder python suddenly woke up, leaving a purple thunder light in the air, which suddenly landed on the giant lock at the door of the hall.
The defensive array moved on its own, turning into an invisible light shield to protect the main hall.
After being bombarded by lightning, ripples appeared on the light shield and shook violently.
"The thunder in the palm of the Heavenly Master is so wonderful!"
Lin Xuan used his immortal power and appeared next to the defensive light barrier. His hands glowed with golden light and he tore it apart with all his strength.
There was a soft "pop" sound, and the overwhelmed light mask exploded like a popped soap bubble.
With all its remaining strength, Razer landed on the giant lock, blasting the giant lock into copper powder all over the sky.
"Pindao has heard all kinds of deeds of Zhenjun Erlang before, and thought that the world spread rumors and followed them indiscriminately."
"I didn't expect Lin Zhenjun to refine his body as a weapon, and his movements are no less powerful than a divine weapon. I expected Zhenjun Erlang to be the same, but he is just a frog in the well."
Zhang Jixian let out a sullen breath, glanced at Lin Xuan with some shock, stretched out his little hand and peeled off the talismans on the door using different techniques.
He has profound Taoist teachings and extensive knowledge. Not only has he encountered many Taoist masters, but he has also discussed Taoism with several immortals who live in the world.
But those who have reached this level, without exception, follow the path of Taoism, and the ancient Taoism and martial arts inheritance is almost completely cut off.
Seeing Lin Xuan's thunder technique that was comparable to his own lineage of heavenly masters with just one hand, Zhang Jixian couldn't help being shocked, and he felt like a new world had been opened.
"The method of body training has existed since ancient times, so it's not surprising. If you think that Erlang Zhenjun has become a saint in body, he is free and unrestrained, and has great magical powers, he is also a first-class figure in the immortal world."
Lin Xuan smiled lightly: "But everyone has their own way, there is no need to force it."
He remembered that this person had no concept of martial arts before, and he didn't find it strange that Zhang Jixian was so rare.
"What the True Lord said is very true."
Zhang Jixian's heart trembled slightly and he quickly put aside his distracting thoughts.
His hands and feet were quick and he had taken off all the talismans at the door in a matter of seconds.
"Please, three of you."
Zhang Jixian put away the talisman, gently opened the door, and took the lead to walk into the hall: "The wisdom of the cave is clear, and the five energies are soaring. The golden light appears quickly, covering my body."
In an instant, Zhang Jixian's body was filled with golden light that was as smooth as a mirror and as thick as a crystal.
The golden light flowed like water, instantly covering the floor of the hall with a layer of golden light.
The originally dark hall was suddenly illuminated by golden light as bright as day.
"Ah, your golden light spell is so convenient, you don't even need to bring a torch."
Huang Rong praised him and pulled Ah Qing forward.
There is nothing around the main hall, only a stone tablet about five or six feet high stands in the center, with a stone tortoise sitting underneath it, most of it sunk in the mud.
The front of the stele is engraved with dragons, seals, phoenixes, and heavenly scripts.
It seems that this handwriting has passed through the hands of several people one after another, and the time span is also long, at least thousands of years apart.
But everyone who carved the talisman should be a top master of the Taoist sect.
However, these talismans should be those people's own understanding of Tao. The styles are very different, and they don't seem to be a system.
Lin Xuan looked at it for a moment and didn't know what was written on it.
"There are two people who have extremely deep cultivation, and there is still a faint sense of sword in their pens. They should be Zhang Daoling and Lu Dongbin."
"The remaining few who are slightly weaker are much stronger than Zhang Tianshi. Maybe Ge Xuan, Xu Jingyang and others have visited one after another."
Lin Xuan's thoughts flashed: "There is a looming demonic energy inside the stone tablet. It seems that there is something in this posture."
Walking around behind the stone tablet, I can see four big books with real characters, which are chiselled with "open in case of flood".
The writing force of these four characters is very strong, stroke by stroke, penetrating into the wood, and it seems to have a sense of destiny.
"Lin Zhenjun, there is a talisman formation on this stone tablet that has been jointly laid out by masters of all ages. It is a hundred times harder than refined iron."
Zhang Jixian said in a deep voice: "Even if we want to kill the thing inside, you and I also need to make a living and figure out how to break this stone tablet."
"Well, you can never go too far wrong."
Lin Xuan nodded and said: "Qing'er, what do you think?"
"There is a very powerful magic circle on the outside of this stone tablet. It will remain like this even if it is left there for tens of thousands of years."
Ah Qing stretched out his small white hand and pressed it on the stone tablet, nodded and said: "There is indeed something locked inside, and it feels really powerful."
"Just looking at this posture, it must be something special..."
Huang Rong pursed her lips and said, "How powerful is it?"
"It's hard to describe this..."
Ah Qing hesitated for a moment: "You can probably beat ten little Celestial Masters, right?"
"Girl, don't make fun of me."
Zhang Jixian felt annoyed and groaned.
He felt inferior to Lu Dongbin and others, but he didn't think he could remove the thing inside alone.
He originally planned to discuss with Lin Xuan and join forces to conquer the demons.
But before the real owner could say anything, the young, wifeless, concubine girl beside him actually insisted that the thing inside could hit ten of him.
This made Zhang Jixian extremely embarrassed and embarrassed to ask for a fight.
Even if it is true, this is too disrespectful!
"Xiang Xi? What Xiang Xi? I'm not joking..."
Ah Qing reacted suddenly and stuck out his tongue: "Okay, I'm just joking, little Heavenly Master, don't pay attention."
Zhang Jixian: "..."
"It stands to reason that since it was Qing'er who pardoned the Demon Star, this stone tablet is also involved in cause and effect, so it should be cut open by Qing'er as well."
Lin Xuan thought for a while: "Qing'er, if you encounter that thing inside, do you have any chance of winning?"
"It's just the words of the ten little heavenly masters..., well, just pretend I didn't say it."
Ah Qing glanced at Zhang Jixian subconsciously: "It should be possible. It is very rare to meet such an opponent. But I probably don't have the strength after killing that thing. In the end, I might have to end it with you, Lin Xuan." "
"???"
Zhang Jixian was stunned for a moment, vaguely feeling that something was not right, and looked at Ah Qing suspiciously.
"Okay then, I'll sweep the formation for you."
Lin Xuan nodded, took a few steps back to protect Huang Rong: "Qing'er, when you are ready, just take action."
"Ready."
Ah Qing smiled brightly, pulled out the green bamboo stick, and tapped it lightly on the stone tablet.
Under the infusion of spiritual power, countless green sword lights appeared in the void, stabbing the stone tablet indiscriminately with a mysterious and unparalleled rhythm.
As if feeling the attack, the formation talismans on the stone tablet moved on their own, turning into thick earth energy, protecting the stone tablet within it.
Ah Qingxian's hand shook, and the sword light in the sky skyrocketed, turning into a magnificent spiritual sword, breaking through the earth element shield, and stabbed directly on the stone tablet.
"Huh? This sword intention...is not good!"
Zhang Jixian's eyes flashed with horror and he hurriedly stepped back.
At the same time, the stone tablet trembled violently, collapsed silently, and turned into powder.
The rich black energy that seemed to come from the mysterious world spread out from the stone tablet and blew away the entire roof of the temple.
"Um?"
With a slight hum, a man's figure with an extremely ancient aura appeared between the world and the world.
The man was nine feet tall, wearing a black Taoist robe, with an ancient face, carrying a long sword on his back, and looked like an immortal.
But if you look closely, his eyes are full of evil and madness.
Buzz!
Zhang Jixian looked at the man and his heart trembled violently.
An unknown pressure came from nowhere, making him feel uncomfortable all over, and he almost knelt down.
"..."
Zhang Jixian's face instantly became extremely ugly, and he quickly used his magical power to resolve this inexplicable feeling.
"Hahaha! Interesting!"
As the man in Taoist robe burst out into crazy laughter, the black energy rolled like a hurricane. The extremely huge evil thoughts, resentment, and deadly force came together and attacked the four of them overwhelmingly.
"Everyone, be careful!"
Zhang Jixian held the mahogany sword in his hand, his face as calm as water, and drew sword marks in the air to face the black energy.
"The Celestial Master's Demon-Suppressing Sword? Sure enough, you, a loser, are the contemporary Celestial Master? Huh! Zhang Laogou actually has descendants."
The Taoist-robed man's eyes flashed across the rolling buildings around him, and he snorted coldly: "That's fine! I will personally demolish this ruined temple today and kill all Zhang Laogou's disciples and grandsons."
As he spoke, arrows condensed with magic thunder emerged from the black air, making a sharp roar that tore through the void, and shot towards Zhang Jixian.
"……you!"
Zhang Jixian's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly turned his body into the breeze and retreated.
"Pretend to be a ghost."
Lin Xuan snorted softly, rolled up his long sleeves, and contained all the hurricane and magic thunder that swept through his sleeves.
"Huh? What's in your sleeves?"
The Taoist was slightly startled, his cold eyes flashed, and he looked at Lin Xuan's indifferent eyes through the air: "Immortal?"
"It's rare to have such eyesight after being imprisoned for more than a thousand years."
Lin Xuan nodded and said with a faint smile: "I was a little surprised at first. I didn't know what kind of master Zhang Daoling sealed here. I didn't expect it to be something that wasn't even a human being."
"Hahaha! How dare a mere heavenly being speak so brazenly in front of me?"
The Taoist sneered, and a looming blackness appeared on his body. His body turned from empty to solid, becoming just like an ordinary person: "I never thought that as soon as I got out of trouble, I would be able to enjoy the addiction of killing gods and slaying immortals."
"This, this, this..."
Zhang Jixian turned pale in shock: "Immortal as a mote of dust, you rise from the dead to survive! Which senior of our sect are you?"
"The Tianshi Mansion is full of leftovers from my play, and yet you have the nerve to rebel against Tiangang in front of me. It's really ridiculous."
The Taoist sneered and said, "Why don't you kneel down and kowtow when you see me!"
"Who are you anyway?"
Zhang Jixian felt some inexplicable panic in his heart and shouted sharply.
"He is Zhang Daoling."
Lin Xuan glanced at Zhang Jixian and said calmly.
"Wha, what! Zhenjun, please stop joking!"
Zhang Jixian was shocked and his body trembled involuntarily: "The Patriarch has already ascended to the upper world, how could he be trapped in this stone tablet?"
"Don't be anxious. There is no conflict between the fact that our ancestor Zhang Daoling ascended to the upper realm and that the person in front of us is Zhang Daoling."
Lin Xuan smiled: "To be sure, this person is the demonic thought that Zhang Daoling chopped off when he ascended to heaven."
"Um?"
Zhang Jixian was stunned for a moment: "How do you say this?"
"My ancestor Zhang Daoling was deeply involved in the world, and his body was intertwined with the cause and effect of future generations. Even though he practiced the Dragon and Tiger Pill and achieved righteousness, it was not enough to achieve transcendence and ascension."
"Looking at it today, Ling Zu must have found another way to cut out the karma and luck mixed with evil thoughts, and then sealed them in this stone tablet. Only then can the merits be considered complete."
Lin Xuan said lightly: "But whether it is spiritual thoughts or demonic thoughts, my obsessions are all integrated into one. Naturally, this thing in front of me can be regarded as Zhang Daoling."
"Yeah, your ancestors didn't kill this thing back then, which shows that this thing is still very powerful."
Ah Qing's lips raised slightly: "I said this thing can beat ten of you, am I right?"
"No, that's right..."
Zhang Jixian let out a sullen breath and looked at the black-clothed Taoist who seemed to be surrounded by demonic aura, with a sad expression on his face: "Please give me your instructions on today's matters, Mr. Lin Zhenjun."
He also didn't expect that breaking open this stone tablet would actually stage the ancestor's exit from seclusion...
What's even worse is that he is still a very resentful ancestor who has been imprisoned for more than a thousand years.
Under the suppression of blood, Zhang Jixian could hardly muster the courage to take action.
If one thing is not handled well, let alone the reputation of Tianshi Mansion will be damaged...
The entire Tianshi Mansion might be gone.
"Hahaha! Now that I am out of trouble, who else has the final say on today's affairs?"
Zhang Daoling snorted coldly and waved his hand.
Amidst the roar, a jade seal with a simple shape, carved with dragons and tigers, and a majestic ancient sword passed through the layers of houses and came to Zhang Daoling.
Zhang Daoling laughed loudly, holding the seal in his left hand and the sword in his right hand.
Under the infusion of demonic energy, the jade seal and the long sword simultaneously emitted a bloody brilliance, as if blood had condensed.
The violent demonic energy swirled again, and the color of the world changed.
Demonic clouds covered the entire sky, and demonic thunder could be vaguely seen tearing the sky apart, and demonic fire burning the sky.
The boundless pressure dropped, and the entire mountain guarding formation shook violently, as if it would collapse at any time.
"Dragon and Tiger Seal, Heavenly Master Sword! Invincible on earth..."
Zhang Jixian had mixed feelings in his heart, and dropped the peach wood sword in his hand with a pale face.
These two magical weapons were both sacrificed and refined by Zhang Daoling, and they are extremely powerful.
For more than a thousand years, it has been the treasure of the Tianshi Mansion.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Daoling's magical thoughts casually summoned the two magic weapons and they immediately rebelled.
"Although you, an immortal, have mediocre cultivation, your brain is quite useful."
"Now that I have the luck and cause of the human world, I am planning to enter the world, and the devil is coming to the world. It is the right time to employ people."
"This puppy is the descendant of Zhang Laogou, so it must die. The little girl in yellow..., huh? Why is there still a vague imperial aura?"
Zhang Daoling's body was filled with demonic flames, and he looked at Lin Xuan with some amusement: "Kill them both, and I will spare your life and make you a high official."
"I didn't even say anything, but this kind of bad thing would actually come to my door..."
Huang Rong let out a sullen breath and said harshly: "Does this person think I'm easy to bully?"
"It should be like this..."
Ah Qing thought for a moment and nodded.
"That's unreasonable!"
Huang Rong was even more annoyed: "Sister Qing, help me kill this old dog."
"I usually call myself sister, but now I know how to change my name to sister..."
Ah Qing murmured and appeared in front of Zhang Daoling: "Old Demon Zhang, I promised to kill you. Just take action when you are ready."
"Hmph! The little girl's swordsmanship just now is pretty good, but it's nothing in my eyes."
Zhang Daoling snorted coldly: "You just helped me escape from trouble. I was planning to spare your life. Don't seek death."
Every word he uttered, the entire Longhu Mountain Range trembled.
It seemed that the world here could not resist Zhang Daoling's will.
"You are not very powerful, but you speak very majestically..."
A Qing thought for a while: "How about this, I will only use three swords in a while, which should be enough to kill you. If you can really take it, I will spare your life."
"Seeking death!"
