Chapter 97 Sword and Talisman
Chapter 97 Sword and Talisman
Looking at the picture on the Moon-Reflecting Mirror, cheers were heard from the city and the tower, but the Yuyao Terrace became unusually quiet, especially the few people around Cheng Xinzhan, who stared straight ahead, as if they wanted to see the broken clouds into flowers.
The owner of Huanzhu Tower held Yunling in the distance. The broken Yunling seemed to be pinched by a giant hand, and was quickly squeezed and shrunk, turning into a ball of surging light that was half the size of a fist.
"The Magic Sword Arena is won by fighting in the ring. There are a total of 757 of you left. This building has 36 rings, imitating the 36 small caves. The 36 best players who just cut the cloud will be the champions of the first round. You can choose the ring by yourself. The magic power of all those who enter the ring will be suppressed to one level."
As Huanzhu Louzhu finished speaking, something mysterious happened:
Under the moonlight, the huge moon-reflecting mirror was divided into two, then into four. In a moment, it turned into thirty-six mirrors, forming an encirclement that surrounded the Peacock City and the Huanzhu Tower!
The huge scene reflects the scenes of the city and the tower, and the mirror scenes reflect each other. For a moment, the people in the city and the tower can't tell whether they are in the city tower or in the mirror.
Qian Boya's pupils shrank and he said in surprise,
“Brother Shanshou! I’ve never seen your Moon-Reflecting Mirror so powerful!”
Huanzhu Louzhu smiled and said, "The best is yet to come."
As soon as he thought of it, the moonlight reflected on the mirror surface distorted and changed, and the scene in the mirror changed again. At this moment, the picture was no longer Yuyao Terrace, nor the city and the tower, but a completely different world!
In some mirrors, there are thousands of islands and swamps, in some mirrors, there is the sunset in the desert, and in some mirrors, there is vast green forest. They are all different.
Qian Boya looked at it in shock, "Brother Shanshou, this, this precious mirror of yours, is it a fairy treasure?"
All kinds of weapons and treasures in the world are divided into three categories: magic weapons, magic treasures, and spiritual treasures. Magic treasures is a very broad concept, which includes three categories: elixir weapons, fetal weapons, and immortal weapons.
In today's world, elixir weapons are rare, so fetal weapons are raised half a level, also called semi-immortal weapons. Sometimes, for the sake of compliment, fetal weapons are also called immortal weapons. True immortal weapons can be said to be the pinnacle, and to distinguish them from semi-immortal weapons, they are also called immortal treasures. Lingbao is mostly seen in ancient legends, and few of them are truly circulated in the world.
In Qian Boya's opinion, this precious mirror can transform into thirty-six small caves and should be worthy of the title of fairy treasure.
Huanzhu Louzhu smiled but did not answer.
He raised his left hand, and thirty-six people were lifted up on the Jade Platform. He said,
"Hurry up and choose your place! First come, first served."
The thirty-six people knew the advantages of choosing the arena, and they all jumped into the realm.
Cheng Xinzhan was one of the thirty-six people. He immediately fell in love with the small cave mirror shining with thunder and flew straight over. After all, such places were rare in the lower world.
Most others chose the mirror with abundant five elements, and many people started fighting on the way to snatch the treasure mirror.
However, no one came to the Thunder Realm that he had his eyes on, so he entered smoothly.
When he touched the mirror, it was like touching a layer of water film. When a light flashed before his eyes, he found himself in another world.
He looked around and saw undulating mountains. The surface of the mountains was bare and presented a bright purple-black color. There were low and thick dark clouds in the sky. Silver-purple electric snakes shuttled through the clouds. Thunder came down from time to time and hit the mountains, splashing lightning and fire.
On a tall stone tablet, he saw the name of this small cave.
Jilei Mountain Cave.
He couldn't help but laugh out loud. There was actually such a good place.
Soon, after a brief competition, all thirty-six mirrors had their champions.
"Now, the rest of you can choose to enter the ring, one person at a time. The winner will defend the ring, and the loser will leave. When fighting with swords, you cannot use any magical weapons other than swords. There are no restrictions on others, but you are not allowed to kill people."
This is much more relaxed than the requirements in the sword-fighting arena just now.
As Huanzhu Louzhu finished speaking, someone flew up from Yuyao Terrace and entered the mirror.
On the Yuyao Stage, Liang Zhenjing's face flushed red. He wanted to go to the Jilei Mountain Cave to fight with Cheng Xinzhan, but he also knew the power of the thunder sword in Cheng Xinzhan's hand. After thinking about it, he thought that the ring battle was also a round-robin battle to a certain extent. He might as well wait for someone to consume his magic power, and then he could go up.
However, even someone like him who specialized in thunder magic thought so, let alone others. Many people were still recalling the arc of sword just now, and when they saw Cheng Xinzhan bathed in the lightning, they were all hesitant and did not dare to step forward.
This resulted in that while the sword energy was everywhere in the other thirty-five caves, he was still the only one in the Jilei Mountain Cave where he was.
Out of boredom, he began to observe the thunder and soon discovered that the thunder here was interesting. Most of it was an illusion, with only brightness and sound, but there was also a lot of real thunder hidden in the clouds. When thunderclouds collided, real thunder fell.
An idea suddenly popped up in his mind. The thunder here must have been caught by the sword immortal himself, or given by others. The secret of thunder was recorded on others. He had just picked thunder once in the great world half a month ago. Naturally, he had the secret of thunder from the great world. He could only wait until next year to pick spring thunder, but he didn't know if he could pick thunder here?
The sword immortal uses this as an arena, and what he wants is to let the sword fighters use the power of the world to boost their sword energy. Although his opponent hasn't come up yet, it shouldn't be a problem for him to take some first, right?
He tentatively released "Gao Zhen" to intercept the thunder under the clouds.
A silver snake was attracted by Gao Zhen and fell into the gourd.
He waited, but nothing happened.
So he grinned and released "Gao Zhen" again.
Seeing this, Liang Zhenjing's face turned even redder.
Cheng Xinzhan estimated that he had collected about 10% of the thunder plasma, so he stopped picking it, sat on the ground, and looked at the images in other mirror scenes. He was interested in looking at the cave mirror scenes of the three elements of earth, water, and wood.
The mountains in a giant mirror caught his attention. The mountains there seemed to be very similar to the mountains in the southern wilderness. He looked carefully and saw five words engraved on a stone tablet in the scene:
Baishishan Cave Heaven.
It is indeed the mountain in the southern wilderness.
Two people in the mirror were fighting, each holding a sword. There was a middle-aged Taoist holding a sword in front of his chest, muttering something. The mountains were shaking, the rocks were rolling, and the rocks gathered together to form a giant, who was driven by the Taoist to attack the opposite side.
This is the Fajian’s God-sending Sect.
The one who was fighting against him was a Kun Dao. He drew his magic sword and swept it across. The sword energy was like a landslide.
This is the Fajian style of cultivating qi.
Then, he turned his gaze to a cave mirror scene of a high mountain waterfall. On the stone wall of a waterfall was written:
Lushan Cave Heaven.
There were two young men fighting with swords, and seeing the style of their robes, Cheng Xinzhan discovered that the two young men seemed to be disciples of Lushan Sword School.
As the two men swung their magic swords, countless waterfalls were attracted and turned into water dragons as they swung their magic swords. The extremely abundant water spiritual energy in that piece of heaven and earth also turned into a wave of spiritual power, and the two collided with each other.
This is the Yuling School of Fajian.
Cheng Xinzhan looked around and felt overwhelmed and benefited a lot.
Liang Zhenjing of Yuyaotai was still silent. He couldn't understand why no one dared to challenge Cheng Xinzhan?
Suddenly at a certain moment, the string of Gu beads he was wearing suddenly made a sound.
"What are you waiting for? Are you going to let the world think that I, Longhushan, don't know thunder magic?"
It was the voice of the Little Heavenly Master. Liang Zhenjing's body stiffened, and he gritted his teeth and flew forward.
When the people on the city wall saw that someone was finally flying towards the Jilei Mountain Cave Mirror Scene, they couldn't help but cheer. They could finally see the power of Master Cheng's sword. If a fight didn't break out, what was the point of watching for them?
Looking more closely, the man who went to challenge Taoist Cheng was wearing a purple robe with a blue dragon and a white tiger embroidered on his cuffs respectively. He was the Taoist priest from Longhu Mountain!
Then the cheers became louder.
Liang Zhenjing could naturally guess that he should be the center of attention at this time, even if he didn't want to.
When Cheng Xinzhan saw that it was Liang Zhenjing who came over and had changed his clothes, he couldn't help but smile. This was really an old acquaintance.
"I knew you were good at thunder talismans, but I didn't know you were also good at sword magic."
Cheng Xinzhan greeted first.
Liang Zhenjing's face was grim. Yes, even the people in Sanqing Mountain knew that I was good at thunder talismans and not good at swordsmanship. But the little celestial master insisted on killing me. What could I do? !
Cheng Xinzhan also noticed the sword in Liang Zhenjing's hand. It was very interesting. It was a two-foot-long copper coin sword. The hilt was made of wood, which looked like peach wood. The sword body was a string of copper coins connected by gold thread.
"Stop talking nonsense and make a quick decision. I'm not afraid of you!"
Liang Zhenjing was still the impatient man he was. He took action as soon as he entered the cave. He swung his magic sword, and thunder generated on the copper coin, rolled on the gold thread, and then broke away from the sword body and slashed towards Cheng Xinzhan.
Cheng Xinzhan also swung his sword horizontally to cut out a flash of lightning, and then he swung the sword one after another, and in the blink of an eye, six sword energies were cut out.
Liang Zhenjing cursed inwardly. This sword was given to him by the young Taoist priest not long ago. He had never nurtured it himself, and the lightning energy contained in the sword was not much. It had already consumed a lot of energy just now when he released the sword energy to cut through Yunling. However, he did not dare to squander it like Cheng Xinzhan.
He stepped on a huge silver thunder talisman, and his speed was much faster than Cheng Xinzhan's fire cloud. He used the talisman to escape and avoid the sword energy. At the same time, with the sword behind his back, he threw out another thunder talisman with his left hand.
The thunder talisman turned into a purple light and shot towards Cheng Xinzhan. No one knew what tricks Liang Zhenjing used, but the speed of the thunder talisman was not slower than the sword energy.
Seeing this, Cheng Xinzhan raised his magic sword high up, and made sword gestures with both hands, one finger pointing up, one finger pointing down, and put his wrists together, chanting,
"Five Thunder Gods, I know their names. They come as soon as I call them, and they fall with lightning and thunder!"
After the spell was recited, the lightning talisman on the "Gao Zhen" sword flickered, and a ray of lightning struck into the clouds in the sky. The thunderclouds surged, and a bolt of lightning fell, and the landing point was exactly the thunder magic that Liang Zhenjing had used.
Liang Zhenjing had expected this, and held the thunder talisman from a distance, chanting, "Hurry!"
The speed of the thunder talisman suddenly increased, and it actually avoided the thunder falling from the sky.
However, Cheng Xinzhan's thunder magic was not that simple. "Gao Zhen" drew a line in the air, and the thunder that had just fallen did not dissipate. One end was tied in the clouds, and the other end hung on the ground, forming a thunder whip. At this moment, as the tip of "Gao Zhen"'s sword moved, the thunder whip seemed to be swung by the magic sword, and it was thrown in the direction of the thunder talisman.
Although the thunder talisman was fast, it was no match for the thunder whip falling from the sky. The thunder whip hit the thunder talisman, and the two most turbulent forces between heaven and earth exploded after contact, forming a silver-purple lightning halo.
With the help of the huge halo of thunder, Cheng Xinzhan moved his sword fingers, and "Gao Zhen" suddenly turned into a ray of thunder, shooting directly at Liang Zhenjing.
Liang Zhenjing was disturbed by the lightning and could not see clearly for a while. When the thunder was close, he quickly threw out a handful of thunder talismans. After throwing them out, they naturally formed a formation. Each thunder talisman emitted a dazzling light and shot out several lightning bolts. These lightning bolts fell on the nearby talismans and connected into shape. So these thunder talismans instantly formed a lightning net. Each thunder talisman was a node, with electric light as the rope.
The lightning transformed by "Gao Zhen" fell on the net, but was unable to pierce it, and returned in vain.
Cheng Xinzhan's eyes lit up when he saw it, he had never thought that the thunder talisman could be used in this way!
In the past, all the famous and upright sects had come to Cai Lei, and they had their masters present. Although Cheng Xinzhan and Liang Zhenjing disliked each other, there had never been any conflict. Now, taking advantage of the sword fighting meeting to spar, he wanted to see how much Liang Zhenjing had in his stomach.
"Gao Zhen" turned into thunder and lightning, and at the same time guided the thunder in the sky to fall towards Liang Zhenjing like rain.
Liang Zhenjing was not willing to be outdone. Although he was being chased everywhere by "Gao Zhen", he waved his sleeves while dodging, and another string of thunder talismans shot out. However, this time they were not for protecting himself, nor for attacking Cheng Xinzhan. If you counted carefully, there were ninety-nine thunder talismans, lined up in a row, as if they were connected by a thread.
He held the Green Dragon Seal in his left hand, held the sword towards the sky with his right hand, and chanted the thunder spell. The string of thunder talismans pierced into the thunderclouds in the sky like a swimming dragon. When they came out of the clouds, the string of thunder talismans was wrapped in thunder and lightning, like a thunder dragon. That string of talismans was clearly a dragon's vertebra.
After drinking its fill of thunder, the Thunder Dragon descended from the sky and pounced directly upon Cheng Xinzhan.
----
"This is a sword fight, what is he doing with the talisman all the time!"
In the Haishi Restaurant, Xiao Shiyi Niang stood up suddenly. The lion cat that was lying on her knees suddenly fell to the ground. It had no idea what had happened, but when it heard its master yelling, it did not dare to make a sound.
----
In Zizhi's boudoir, the purple-robed Gong Chang had a smile on his face. It was enough for one of the magic swords of Longhu Mountain to shock the world. In such a sword-fighting meeting, as long as someone from Longhu Mountain showed off and reminded the world that Longhu Mountain was still powerful, the purpose would be achieved. As for whether to use a sword or a talisman, it was actually not important. Liang Zhenjing still didn't understand.
----
Cheng Xinzhan looked at the Thunder Dragon attacking and hid everywhere, but with a smile on his face. It seemed today that his use of talismans before was a bit narrow-minded!
So to outsiders, the scene in the mirror of the Jishishan Cave was quite interesting. There were two dragons in the mirror. One was a thunder dragon formed by the thunder falling from the sky pulled by Cheng Xinzhan's magic sword, and the other was a thunder dragon formed by a string of thunder talismans cast by Liang Zhenjing. As for the owners of the two thunder dragons, they were hiding everywhere under the opponent's attack.
While running away, Cheng Xinzhan suddenly put away the cloud-driven "dragon car" and threw out a string of thunder talismans, but these thunder talismans were not for attacking, they seemed to be floating randomly in front of Cheng Xinzhan. He took a step forward and stepped on a thunder talisman, which suddenly exploded and turned into a streak of lightning, carrying Cheng Xinzhan away.
When the lightning was about to disappear, it fell on another thunder talisman, activating it, and then carrying Cheng Xinzhan away. In just a few flashes of lightning, he escaped nearly a hundred miles away, leaving the Thunder Dragon behind.
He couldn't help but secretly praise that Liang Zhenjing was really ingenious. The thunder talismans were connected to each other by electric light, and they could actually connect with each other and stimulate each other. At the same time, they could also be connected in series or in parallel like his thunder dragon and thunder net to form a talisman array and become one. This was not an ordinary accumulation of numbers, but a qualitative change.
Liang Zhenjing, who was far away on the other side, watched with his eyes almost popping out.
At this moment, Cheng Xinzhan looked back at Liang Zhenjing, suddenly smiled, pointed his right hand at him, and said,
"shock!"
Liang Zhenjing and the onlookers in the city tower were confused. At this moment, the owner of Huanzhu Tower smiled knowingly. With a thought, the picture of the mirror scene in the Jishishan Cave suddenly shrank sharply until Cheng Xinzhan and Liang Zhenjing turned into black dots.
The spectators in the tower finally got a glimpse of the whole world in the cave, but they couldn't help but cry out:
Seen from afar, "Gao Zhen" dragging thunder was like a pen dipped in silver ink, and Liang Zhenjing was like a tiny mosquito. While chasing the mosquito, the pen was also painting between heaven and earth. The painting was a talisman, a huge talisman that stood tall above the clouds, a completed talisman.
Thunder Talisman.
As Cheng Xinzhan's command sounded, this huge thunder talisman emitted a dazzling light and exploded!
"Boom!"
There was a loud bang, a roar that covered the entire city and echoed in all directions, like a thunder chariot running, lasting for a long time.
However, Cheng Xinzhan had no intention of hurting anyone. This was a talisman that could shock the earth and startle people only with the sound of thunder.
Liang Zhenjing was almost wrapped by the thunder talisman. As expected, he was stunned by the huge thunder. His eyes were blank and his limbs were stiff. The thunder dragon was out of control, the lightning dissipated, and turned into talisman papers that floated down. Liang Zhenjing himself also fell from the air.
Cheng Xinzhan used the newly learned method of stepping on talismans to control electricity and caught it.
