Chapter 98 Everyone Wins
Chapter 98 Everyone Wins
Huanzhu Tower Master waved his hand and then pointed again, and Liang Zhenjing, who was supported by Cheng Xinzhan, floated out of the mirror and woke up in mid-air.
He looked around blankly, and soon remembered what had happened. His face turned red again, turning the color of liver.
In the Haishi Restaurant, Xiao Shiyi Niang patted her chest, took a long breath, and said to herself: Yes, he is so good at drawing talismans, how could he lose?
On the other hand, back in Zizhi's boudoir, Master Gongchang's expression looked unhappy, and the strength in his hands became a little stronger. The plump woman in his arms felt pain in her chest, but she didn't dare to show it and kept smiling.
After seeing Liang Zhenjing off, the Jilei Mountain Cave Heaven Mirror Scene where he was located became quiet again. Even after all the champions of the other thirty-five mirror scenes were decided, he still didn't meet the second person who came up to challenge him.
"There are thirty-six of you left. You are good at different things and you are mutually exclusive. So we will draw lots to form groups. The winners will advance and the losers will retreat."
The owner of Huanzhu Tower released thirty-six jade sticks, and each person in the mirror controlled his energy to take one.
Cheng Xinzhan took a look and saw that the word "Kun" was written on his jade sign.
He read it out loud.
Everyone read out the words on the jade slips in their hands, which were two sets of ten heavenly stems and eight trigrams.
He looked at the other person who had pronounced the word "Kun". That person was in a red mountain. The mountain was on fire and the sky was also a fiery red glow. He saw five words carved on the mountain wall:
Flame Mountain Cave.
The man was also very young, with long hair, a long sword leaning on the ground, a blood-stained shirt, and a fanged demon head tattooed on the left side of his chest where his heart was.
This is the attire of the Northern Demon Cult, the Red Heart Cult.
After the results of the draw came out, the thirty-six giant mirrors began to move. The Jilei Mountain Cave Heaven where Cheng Xinzhan was located and the Huoyan Mountain Cave Heaven where the demon was located began to slowly move closer, and finally the two mirrors merged into one.
In the new mirror scene, on one side are the red surging volcanoes and red clouds, and on the other side are the silver and purple moving thunder mountains and dark clouds.
"let's start!"
When Huanzhu Louzhu's voice sounded, everyone in the eighteen mirror scenes began to move.
Since he was a member of the Demon Sect, Cheng Xinzhan naturally didn't bother to discuss etiquette and just slashed over with a thunderous sword energy. The same thing happened over there. He swung his sword and a wave of fire came.
The thunder and fire from the sky and the earth collided, the scene was grand. Moreover, it was a battle between Taoism and demons, which naturally attracted the attention of most people.
After a few moves, they only fought from a distance. He could clearly feel that the sword energy on the other side was scattered and had no edge, like a child throwing stones. This should not be the way to cultivate qi. Cheng Xinzhan felt bored, and he suddenly said,
“If the mountain doesn’t come to me, I will go to the mountain.”
After saying this, he rode on a cloud and flew away from Jilei Mountain, heading straight for Huoyan Mountain.
There were exclamations from the pavilion. After the two mirrors merged, everyone was testing the waters, not daring to give up the advantage of terrain easily. Cheng Xinzhan was the first person to take the initiative to cross the boundary.
The devil from the Red Heart Cult was also very surprised, but no matter what, it was better for him to come over than for him to go there alone. When he was closer, he could use some tricks more easily!
He turned around and fled, intending to lead Cheng Xinzhan into the depths of the Flaming Mountain.
The Taoist priest was very cooperative and followed closely.
Suddenly, when they reached the depths, the demon turned around and swung his sword.
The fire waves came and the Taoist dodged them, but the demon had held back when he made a testing move just now, and his sword speed was several times faster than before. Waves of fire came one after another, crisscrossing each other.
However, the Taoist priest surrounded by the fire waves did not notice that wisps of invisible fire energy broke away from the fire waves and entered his mouth and nose as he breathed in and out.
The devil was secretly delighted when he saw that Cheng Xinzhan was only concerned with dodging and did not discover the secret hidden in his fire.
Those wisps of invisible fire were exactly the unique secret technique of his Red Heart Sect, called the Formless Heavenly Demonic Fire of Desire.
This is consistent with the teachings of the Red Heart Religion, which believes that human nature is evil, greedy, belligerent and murderous. The heart of a child is the heart of the devil, and all benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom are shackles that imprison the heart of a child. But shackles are shackles after all, and the desire in the heart cannot be extinguished.
The Red Heart Sect believes in the formless heavenly demon, practices lust, and acts only in accordance with their inner desires. It is an out-and-out demonic sect.
Lust is the foundation of their practice, and it is also their means of dealing with their enemies. If one absorbs lust without a strong mind, the distracting thoughts and desires in one's heart will be magnified, and at best one will lose control of one's mind, and at worst one will go astray.
The young Taoist priest didn't notice anything. After dodging the continuous attacks, he suddenly felt that the "dragon chariot" under his feet was too slow and his agility was poor. He was very satisfied with it before he used it to eat qi, but now it is indeed a bit unable to keep up, especially in a fight, dodging is a big shortcoming.
What should I do?
Clouds are driving clouds, clouds are driving clouds, clouds are water vapor, they float due to their lightness. The "dragon chariot" is the fiery clouds in the summer sunset, which are tainted with fire, so it is faster than ordinary clouds.
In fact, fire also evaporates upwards. Wouldn't it be faster to step directly on the fire? Especially since I practiced the fire in the sky and the fire in the world, there was no problem of fire extinguishing without a root.
Changing the idea, controlling the wind and thunder seems to work too.
However, humans are born creatures. The spirit in their bodies is the clear air, and the essence is the turbid air. Essence is blood, flesh, skin and bones. Opening up the five houses and opening up the meridians is the process of eliminating the turbid air. When all the five houses are opened, the five elements in the body circulate, and the turbid air in the body is locked in the Crimson Palace. Then the body will be as light as a feather and can ride the wind.
However, I seem to be a bamboo body now, or a bamboo body that is a mountain guardian spirit and has all five palaces open? I can practice controlling wind and thunder invisibly in advance and respond to changes in thunder and fire.
When the body is cleansed of evil, it can be used directly, saving time.
In this case, why not go a step further and find out which spells are limited by the physical body and realm? Can we practice them now in advance?
He thought more broadly.
In the distance, the devil leader of the Red Heart Sect looked at the Taoist priest with a dazed look in his eyes, as if he was thinking hard. He was overjoyed, knowing that the Taoist priest had been tricked.
Naturally, he would not let go of this opportunity. In order to create this opportunity, he melted 50% of the formless demonic lust accumulated in his body into the sword energy.
He raised his magic sword and said,
"The Holy Ancestor of the Formless Heaven, the formless controls the visible, go!"
As the incantation sounded, the scarlet magic sword flashed brightly, and the tip of the sword pointed directly at the young Taoist priest in reverie. The underground fire all over the mountains and plains was drawn by the spiritual charm of the magic sword, and gathered in the direction of the sword tip into an arrow shape, and like a formation of fire geese, it rushed towards the Taoist priest.
Cheng Xinzhan was thinking broadly in his mind, but when he saw his opponent change his sword moves, he stopped thinking.
A thought flashed through his mind, and he put away his cloud chariot. Instead, a ball of fire suddenly appeared under his feet. In such a favorable terrain, controlling fire was the most convenient.
Just as he thought, Zhu Shen stepped steadily in the firelight. With another thought, the fire flickered, and he disappeared from the spot. With just a few thoughts, the fire flickered, and the Taoist had already escaped dozens of miles away.
Looking at the raging underground fire, he raised the "Gao Zhen", with the tip of the sword pointing upwards, and chanted,
"Master Kitchen God, Commanders Bing and Ding, rise!"
The talisman on the magic sword lit up with fire, and the earth suddenly began to shake. Then cracks appeared in the ground under the demon's feet, and earth flames gushed out from the cracks, almost drowning him.
All I heard was a wailing sound, and a figure rushed up into the sky from the underground fire, shouting,
"So you were just pretending! But you clearly absorbed the fire of lust, so why didn't you have any lustful thoughts?!"
Oh, I see.
Cheng Xinzhan suddenly realized what was going on. He was wondering why he suddenly disliked Qiyunjia and why he wanted to fly in the air during the war. It turned out that someone had played a trick on him.
Interesting, this method is really interesting. It can make people think freely and thoughtfully, and it helps me figure out some problems.
But even so, he would not show mercy. He changed the seal on his hand, and "Gao Zhen" sank into the cloud, and then turned down quickly. He chanted,
"Emperor Yinghuo, the falling fire and flying stars, fall!"
The red clouds in the sky turned into rain of fire, pouring down on the demon that was flying towards the sky.
"what!"
"I surrender!"
The demon thought that the Taoist priest was going to take advantage of the sword fight to kill him. The warning from Huanzhu Louzhu just now rang in his mind, and he quickly shouted for surrender.
As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared in the mirror.
The demon found himself outside the mirror, so he hurriedly flew back to the city. The rain of fire and earth just now really frightened him, and he was puzzled: Isn't he a thunder cultivator? Why does the Flame Mountain look more like his arena?
Cheng Xinzhan waited alone in the mirror for a while until the winner was decided in all eighteen mirrors.
Afterwards, there was another round of drawing lots. Using the Nine Palaces, Cheng Xinzhan drew the Gen Palace. This time his opponent was a woman. The mirror scene she was in was a fusion of the Qingtian Mountain Cave Heaven and the Taoyuan Mountain Cave Heaven, a scene of a land of water, trees and marshes.
Judging from the woman's attire, she was also a Taoist. She wore a plain white Taoist robe, which was so simple and elegant, it was rare to see someone like her.
After the two mirrors merged, Cheng Xinzhan bowed.
"Cheng Xinzhan from Sanqing Mountain, I am honored to be your friend."
The woman's face was not looking good. This person practiced thunder and fire together, which was the natural nemesis of her. She returned the greeting, "Qiao Shoujing from Tianmu Mountain, I hope you will show mercy."
After the two greeted each other, the sword fight naturally began. Cheng Xinzhan, like before, first gave up the geographical advantage and went directly into the Shuimuze Kingdom to experience the water and wood elements. This is the 36 small caves created by the immortals. In the outside world, each has its own owner. It is not easy to go in and take a look. If you want to walk through all 36 caves, it is probably as difficult as ascending to heaven.
The Shuimu Ze Kingdom is full of vitality and is much more pleasing to the eyes than the violent Leihuo Lieyu.
Among the five elements, Cheng Xinzhan is most familiar with the fire element, needless to say. The second is the water element, which is naturally thanks to the fact that he accompanied the green dragon in playing. Then there is the metal element that he formed a bond with the inner god. Then there is the earth element. After all, he lived in the mountains and studied the art of landforms and the way of raising corpses. Finally, there is the wood element.
Cheng Xinzhan had a photographic memory. He remembered that when he first watched the fight in the mirror scene in the Jilei Mountain Cave, he saw this woman in the Qingtian Mountain Cave. She also used the wood method when she fought with others just now.
It was still the same at this moment. The woman was a master of the magic sword technique, using the sword as a sacrificial weapon to summon the gods to fight the enemy. She muttered something, with the tip of the sword pointing at Cheng Xinzhan. The grass leaves on the ground danced and merged into a wooden dragon, rushing towards the opponent.
Fire overcomes wood. Cheng Xinzhan can defeat the enemy more easily by using fire magic, but he did not do so. Otherwise, he would not have to give up the advantage of the terrain. He wanted to use this precious place to experience the water magic. The Taoist priest offered his sword to the water and chanted,
"Lord Dragon, take the sword and obey the call. Show your power immediately!"
As the spell was cast, the water in the lake beneath his feet suddenly rolled like a spring, and then surged into a huge column of water. Afterwards, the column of water suddenly leaped out of the lake and formed a water dragon.
Qiao Shoujing's face became even uglier when he saw this. This guy from Sanqing Mountain initially used the Yangqi School's sword-qi attack method to fight with Longhu Mountain. Later, when he saw Longhu Mountain using thunder talismans, he used the never-before-seen method of using sword talismans to win. Just now, when he fought with the devil from the Chixin Sect, he used the Yuling School's methods and caused flames from the sky and the earth. Now, he used the Qianshen School's methods. What he learned was so diverse, how could he have the time to delve into it? Why was his magic power so strong?
She was even more puzzled. The form of the god summoned by the God-Sending Sect was not only related to magic power, sacrificial instruments, and incantations, but also had a lot to do with the caster's understanding of the god's form and spiritual charm. Although the wooden dragon she summoned had two horns, its body was no different from a snake. But look at this water dragon, with distinct scales and tail, and its fangs and claws bared, it looked like a living thing, and it had a divine power. Was this man accompanying dragons every day?
The water dragon faced the flying wooden dragon, entangled it, and crushed it into pieces. However, Cheng Xinzhan did not pursue the victory, but waited for the wooden dragon to transform again. From then on, no matter what means the woman used, Cheng Xinzhan could only rely on the water dragon to resist the enemy and was always successful.
This time, Cheng Xinzhan was the one who delayed the longest.
Until the end, Qiao Shoujing's magic power was exhausted and she admitted defeat and surrendered. She had long realized that Cheng Xinzhan was practicing magic with her, but she also used the water dragon to hone her own magic and gained a lot.
The remaining eight people looked at Cheng Xinzhan with increasingly different eyes.
The remaining nine people draw the Nine Palaces lots again: Qian Palace versus Kun Palace, Zhen Palace versus Xun Palace, Kan Palace versus Li Palace, Gen Palace versus Dui Palace. The winner of Qian and Kun will fight with swords with Zhong Palace.
This time it was a coincidence that Cheng Xinzhan happened to draw the Central Palace, and the other eight people also breathed a sigh of relief.
After a fight, Qian defeated Kun, Xun defeated Zhen, Li defeated Kan, and Gen defeated Dui.
Cheng Xinzhan was deeply impressed by the person who drew the Qian lottery because he was a monk.
The two scenes merged, and the monk took the lead in paying respect to Cheng Xinzhan. He put his hands together, bowed slightly, and said,
"Master Cheng, I am from Mount Wutai, and I am honored to meet you."
Since the monk already knew his identity, he did not report his name to the monk, but only bowed and said, "Master, I am honored."
"Mr. Cheng, you have great swordsmanship. I would like to ask for your advice."
"Master, modest words."
Both sides first showed their attitude before starting the sword fight.
The monk's magic sword is a golden sword, a broadsword without an edge. There are many small characters engraved on the broadsword, which are neat and tidy, like scriptures.
The monk looked gentle and polite, but he actually took the approach of cultivating qi. He held the greatsword in both hands and waved it. Although the sword had no edge, what emanated from it was the sharp Gengjin sword qi, which attacked him one after another, making a terrifying sound of breaking through the air.
It was the first time that Cheng Xinzhan encountered the purest magic sword technique. He was delighted and only used sword energy to fight the enemy.
In "Gao Zhen", the stored sword energy is most abundant in the three attributes of fire, gold and thunder. This is because the inner spirit helps to circulate the Qi around the body and refine the magic power. At this time, the monk attacked with Geng Jin, and he chose to fight back with the tip of the needle and the spike of wheat, using the energy of Xin Jin.
The Gengjin sword energy is dazzling and has a magnificent feeling, while the Xinjin sword energy is dull and plain, but makes people feel cold all over.
Qiangong Qian and Zhonggong Qian were fighting each other. Coincidentally, there was no one else fighting with swords at that time. This pure sharp golden sword energy battle attracted everyone's attention. From the perspective of the people watching the excitement in the city and the building, this seemed to be the magic sword in their impression.
This sword fight was similar to the previous one, with the same result: the monk ran out of power and admitted defeat.
The sword fighting arena was silent for a long time, and even the slowest person could see it.
This Taoist priest from Mount Sanqing fought four battles, defeating Mount Longhu with his Talisman Sword, defeating Mount Chixin with his Yuling Sword, defeating Mount Tianmu with his Zhishen Sword, and defeating Mount Wutai with his Yangqi Sword.
Was he unintentional or intentional?
A bit late, sorry.
