Chapter 192: Unexpected
Chapter 192: Unexpected (It’s the end of the month, I’m asking for a monthly ticket~)
That huge ship was a magic weapon, and it still seems to be a remarkable magic weapon today. Perhaps it was the weapon that Bai Wuchang used to overcome his tribulation.
Because after seeing the tower ship moving, Cheng Xinzhan immediately attracted lightning again to hit the tower ship, but a dark light film appeared on the body of the tower ship, which actually blocked the lightning and left the ship unharmed.
Then, countless black chains were lowered from the ship. From a distance, they looked like growing hairs, and each chain was crawling with evil spirits. Cheng Xinzhan looked up and saw evil spirits jumping down from the ship like rain, covering the holes that he had just pierced with the thunder.
He was about to use fire magic to burn the ghost, but he sensed movement behind him. He turned his head and saw ripples in the void. Then he saw that the void seemed to be cut open by many holes. Clear water like moonlight frost flowed out of the void, forming a river and rushing towards the Ghost Gate runes around Shen Zhaoming.
No one knew what the water was, but the Ghost Gate rune disappeared like dust on a stone after being washed away by the water.
"Xinzhan can let me go now."
Shen Zhaoming's voice came from the green ball of the wooden branch, and at the same time, the white whisk had already rushed out from the gaps between the branches and leaves. It's not that he couldn't break the curse, but he didn't want Xinzhan to be backfired.
Cheng Xinzhan was overjoyed and immediately released the spell.
The white whisk once again turned into a river in the sky, this time it rolled up backwards, more vast than any previous time, like the Lushan Waterfall flowing backwards.
“Jingming issued an imperial decree, and Xu Zu came to the altar;
The water purifies the world and washes away all the ghosts;
Liu Ding destroys the evil, Liu Jia destroys the evil! "
Shen Zhaoming chanted the spell loudly.
The white threads on the small whisk continued to grow longer and more numerous. In the end, they were no less than the chains hanging from the boat, and each of the white threads was shining with water.
When the white silk came into contact with the chains, each strand of white silk turned into a stream. In each stream, there were phantoms of the Six Dings and Six Jias. The streams wrapped around the chains and brushed over them. The Six Dings and Six Jias held their magic weapons in their hands, and the evil spirits on the chains were scattered at once. Even the chains themselves seemed to be washed away by the long river of time and were quickly worn away.
This spell was gorgeous and powerful, stunning everyone present. Bai Wuchang was even more shocked and angry. This building ship had been with him for many years. He started to practice it when he was still in the first realm. It had gone through four thunder disasters by now. The ghosts on the ship were all born from the spirit of the ship. So many of them were eliminated at once, which was a huge damage to the spirit of the ship.
Bai Wuchang snorted coldly and muttered something. All the ghost seal patterns that were previously hidden on the hull of the building ship were now revealed. At the same time, the ship lowered its head and rushed down. The huge hull fell into a narrow crevice in the mountain, making a sharp explosion.
The rushing streams and the shadows of the Six Dings and Six Jias were gradually shattered by the impact of the giant ship.
Seeing this, Shen Zhaoming unsheathed the long sword behind him and it fell into his hand. He swung the sword continuously, and the snow-white sword energy was like a rising crescent moon, forming a torrent and slashing towards the main body of the ship.
“Boom—Boom—”
There were series of loud noises. The ghost seal characters on the ship resisted the sword light. Some of the ghost seal characters were consumed by the sword light, but the ship itself was intact, pressing down on the two men like a mountain.
Cheng Xinzhan naturally would not sit idly by.
He swung the fire sword with his right hand, and purple flames appeared on the sword. This was the southern Xinjiang earth fire refined from the "Purple Fire Rotten Peach Evil". The purple flame condensed into the divine form of a phoenix.
He flicked his left hand at the thunder sword, the magic sword whistled, and azure blue thunder burst out from the sword. This was the East China Sea sky thunder refined from the "Dragon Roar Water Thunder Gang", and the lightning condensed into the shape of a real dragon.
Two sword energies rushed upwards, the earth fire accompanied by the sky thunder, the phoenix and the real dragon drove together, the Yin evil of southern Xinjiang and the Yang Gang of the East China Sea converged at this moment, and the huge momentum caused the celestial phenomena to change. At this moment, in the sky above the Lost Soul Gorge, fire clouds and dark clouds appeared at the same time.
This sword not only shocked Bai Wuchang, but also the Eight-Armed Dragon King Cao Jin, who revealed a look of surprise and stared at Cheng Xinzhan.
"boom--"
The sword energy of thunder and fire hit the ship. The fire and lightning mixed with Shen Zhaoming's sword energy of water and exploded into pieces. The ship actually became like a living thing, emitting mournful howls like a ghost, as if it was enduring great pain.
After all, one is a magic treasure of the ghost sect, and the other is the righteous law of Taoism. The ship slowly shrank under the powerful light of the law, and the flashing ghost seal patterns gradually dimmed and hid in the hull. Finally, the ship was only the size of a palm and turned into a black light, trying to fly back into Bai Wuchang's hands.
Bai Wuchang felt very distressed. It was not easy to refine magic weapons, and even fewer could survive the thunder tribulation. Naturally, he reached out to take it.
"Taodu" was chasing Bai Wuchang but had not been able to achieve any success due to his ghostly skills, so he was already furious. Now that he saw the ghost ship flying back, he took the opportunity and turned into a streaking light, flying towards the landing point of the ghost ship.
"what--"
Bai Wuchang screamed and pinched his left wrist tightly with his right hand. There was nothing under his left wrist.
Bai Wuchang's left hand was melted by the flying sword, and the ghost ship was also blown away by "Taodu".
"burn!"
Cheng Xinzhan pointed at the flying ghost ship, and the ghost ship immediately ignited golden yang fire. No matter how the ship grew or shrunk, or how loudly it roared or how much black light it emitted, the yang fire could not be extinguished.
Bai Wuchang was filled with hatred, but he needed to dodge the flying sword, so Wuxia didn't dare to try to salvage the ghost ship.
At this time, the golden Yang Fire was still burning on his wrist. He took out a bottle and poured out water emitting black mist from it. No one knew what this water was, but it could temporarily suppress the Yang Fire and prevent it from continuing to burn on Bai Wuchang's arm.
Cheng Xinzhan took the opportunity to take back the Shangqing Talisman, and continued to fly away with Shen Zhaoming. The spells they had just cast consumed a lot of mana, and they could not cast such spells many times, so it was better to retreat.
How could Bai Wuchang let them leave after suffering such a great loss? So he took out a bell-like magic weapon and shook it in his hand.
"Jingle Bell--"
The bell rang, and the two men who were about to fly out of the hole at the top of the ravine groaned, and fell down like geese hit by arrows.
Cheng Xinzhan was in the purple palace. The ghost spirit and the fetal light were attracted by the sound of the bell and flew out involuntarily!
The two souls flew out of the Purple Palace, out of the inner world, and out of the physical body.
The same thing happened on Shen Zhaoming's side, and three souls flew out.
What great religion, what the North and South Kuixing, are nothing more than this.
Bai Wuchang put on a smile, and Cao Jin also looked uninterested.
But at this moment, without Cheng Xinzhan's conscious control, the Mao Ri Xingguan in the heart palace opened his eyes on his own, raised his head and cried.
"Oh oh oh-"
The crowing of cocks echoed in the Lost Soul Valley, drowning out the eerie ringing sound.
When Cheng Xinzhan's out-of-body soul heard the crowing of the rooster, it stopped moving and returned to its physical body.
Bai Wuchang also watched Cheng Xinzhan's body open its eyes again and stop.
As for Shen Zhaoming, a crack appeared between his eyebrows, and a third eye grew out of it!
This is a vertical eye, and I don't know whether it is a magic weapon or a magical power. The eye emits white divine light, which shines on the three souls that have left the body. The three souls instantly wake up, get rid of the ringing sound, follow the divine light in the third eye into the center of the eyebrows, and return to the Purple Palace.
Cheng Xinzhan once again sacrificed the Shangqing Talisman, and the inner scene Shenmao Rixing Official entered into it, directly transforming into the true form of an angry-eyed rooster, crowing loudly!
Taodu was very excited when he heard the crowing of a rooster, and also let out a sword cry that sounded like a rooster's crowing. The crowing of the Dharmadhatu and the rooster merged into one, echoing in the Lost Soul Gorge.
The crowing of the rooster resounded throughout the Lost Soul Gorge, and its power was even greater than the thunder of General Xiaguan's drum beating just now!
Bai Wuchang held his head and screamed, seeing countless ghosts flying out of his body. These were the souls he had captured over the years. At this moment, all of these souls were out of Bai Wuchang's control and were floating aimlessly in the Lost Soul Gorge. As for the disciples and elders who were not scared away by the thunder just now and were still in the Lost Soul Gorge, it was even more so. The souls flew out of their bodies or magic weapons, and no matter how they cast spells to call them back, they could not get them back. They fled in panic, not wanting their years of practice to be ruined in an instant.
The green mist that lingered in the Lost Soul Valley all year round gradually dissipated, and the souls flew out of the mist, also floating in the air, wandering aimlessly.
Cheng Xinzhan and Shen Zhaoming looked at the ghosts filling the stream, then looked at each other, nodded at the same time, made hand gestures, and chanted in unison.
"Mu Gong broke the binding order and ordered the opening of the iron enclosure.
The golden hammer breaks the lock, the jade sword cuts the chain;
The three hells and five sufferings are all dispelled, the long night is enlightened and the original nature is returned;
Hurry and obey the orders of the Green Child Heavenly Monarch of Donghua!"
Although Sanqing Mountain and Wanshou Palace are not as good as Gezhao Mountain in saving people and exorcising ghosts, they are both great Taoist sects, so it is impossible for them to not be able to do it. Moreover, the Yuzhang Taoist sect once jointly established a Nanchang Liandu Division, also known as the "Zhuling Fire Palace", which is dedicated to saving the souls and evil spirits of the world.
At this time, the two of them recited the sutras in the Zhuling Fire Palace that were used to lift the ban on releasing animals:
"Donghua Dongxuan Prison-Breaking and Unbinding Curse".
When Cheng Xinzhan was chanting the spell, he also activated the spirit inside the Wooden Mansion, and the spirit form of Emperor Donghua chanted the spell himself. Then, green lotus and magical visions emerged in the void, gathering into a sky full of fireflies, and flew up to the cave on the top of the mountain stream.
Those wandering souls received guidance and followed Qinglian and Fawen away.
Cheng Xinzhan and Shen Zhaoming followed the ghost and flew away from the Soul-Lost Gorge.
Suddenly seeing the light, the two of them squinted their eyes, still a little uncomfortable.
"You dare!"
Bai Wuchang shouted that these two bastards were going to destroy his legal lineage and the foundation of Lost Soul Gorge!
He flew in pursuit and also came to the outside of the stream. At the same time, he tapped his chest and abdomen several times, and finally made a hand gesture in front of his chest. Then, he saw a golden pill flying out from the top of his head.
This is a dark blue golden pill, shaped like a duck egg.
A faint light gradually flashed on the golden elixir, and finally it became so bright that people could not look directly at it. When the light faded, the golden elixir was no longer there, and in its place was a fierce ghost statue with a green face and raised teeth that was sixty or seventy feet tall.
This is not the unique inner and outer manifestation of the Shangqing School's Dharma image, nor is it some bluff or illusion, but the real golden elixir Dharma image.
The Golden Elixir Dharma Image shows the path of the Tao, and is closely related to the subsequent Nascent Soul Dao Realm and the natural unity of the Tao. The timing for forming the Golden Elixir Dharma Image is different for everyone. Some people can form the Dharma Image after one wash, while others find it difficult after five washes. It all depends on when you can see your own Tao clearly.
Bai Wuchang's path is the path of fierce ghosts. If one day he can reach the fourth realm with smoke coming out of his ancestral grave, then his realm of Taoism is likely to be a ghost country. To be honest, it is basically impossible for a ghost cultivator to reach the top of the fifth realm. If he is really lucky enough to enter the fifth realm, then his best ending will be to combine the Tao with the netherworld veins and dominate for a while. As for becoming an immortal, I am afraid he himself dare not think about it.
Without further ado, after Bai Wuchang's Dharma image appeared in the world, the wind and clouds suddenly changed, dark clouds crushed the mountains, and the spiritual energy of the whole area was affected. The evil ghost's six arms, holding spears, chains, bells, and knives, attacked together.
Cheng Xinzhan and Shen Zhaoming felt their scalps tighten. This Bai Wuchang had too many tricks!
Cheng Xinzhan controlled the "Taodu" flying sword, and used a magic sword to assist with spells and talismans. Shen Zhaoming also had a magic sword, a whisk, and talismans, and also sacrificed a white jade mirror that looked like a full moon that had never been seen before. Only then was he able to tie with Bai Wuchang's golden elixir form.
The two of them found opportunities to injure Bai Wuchang's body several times and instinctively wanted to find a chance to leave, but every time they tried to escape, the Eight-Armed Dragon King Cao Jin would block their way, forcing them to retreat and wait until Bai Wuchang caught his breath before attacking again.
After doing this several times, Bai Wuchang was able to let go more freely and his fighting style became more ferocious.
In such a situation, the magic power of both of them was being consumed rapidly, but the fierce ghost's Dharma image did not show any sluggishness in its movements.
"careful!"
Cheng Xinzhan once again used the magic of capturing, and pulled Shen Zhaoming horizontally for a distance from the void. He himself practiced the five elements, and had also learned the method of visualizing and consuming air, and had formed many inner gods. He also had a very high-grade golden elixir, so his magic power was much higher than that of people in the same realm. Although Shen Zhaoming was also a Taoist figure, his magic power was greatly consumed after a long time, and he was unable to cast the spell just now, which allowed people to seize the flaw.
"Ouch—"
An ethereal and low sound like a flute lingered on the top of the mountains in western Hunan for a long time. Cheng Xinzhan used his magical power "Whale Suction" to recover a lot of magic power. While protecting Shen Zhaoming, he fought against Bai Wuchang.
He didn't know that his performance had already astonished Bai Wuchang and Cao Jin. Such magical power was already beyond the ordinary three-washed golden elixir!
"town!"
Cheng Xinzhan cast a spell, and the shadows of three mountains and five peaks flashed. He once again defeated the Dharma image, but Cao Jin blocked him again.
Cheng Xinzhan felt aggrieved, and suddenly an idea flashed through his mind.
Without any hesitation, he immediately chanted a spell and a shining golden pill flew out from the top of his head, emitting a hazy lightning light.
He pointed his finger at the golden elixir and chanted loudly,
"now!"
The golden elixir had its own spirituality. When Cheng Xinzhan pointed at it, it immediately released infinite light, like the golden sun. The dragon-patterned tiger on the elixir seemed to come alive, flew away from the golden elixir, and swam in the light.
"hold head high--"
"Roar--"
A dragon roars and a tiger howls.
The golden elixir's light shone on the evil ghost's body, and the face of the evil ghost suddenly twisted. The roars of dragons and tigers made it tremble continuously, and it held its head with six hands and howled.
Amid the howling sounds, the Dharma image gradually could not be maintained, and finally it turned into the dark green golden elixir body and flew towards Bai Wuchang's physical body.
Bai Wuchang seemed to have seen something extremely absurd and shouted,
"Why! Why! Why!"
The golden elixir suppression was indeed effective. Cheng Xinzhan immediately took back his golden elixir and thought to himself:
Because I cultivate all five elements, because I understand a hundred orifices, because my prince rides on a yellow dragon and the moon goddess sits on a green tiger, because I have the best earthly evil in Juqu, and because I have the sect's thousand-year-old rain.
What did you, Bai Wuchang, use to make the elixir?
The devil lost his composure, and Cheng Xinzhan naturally would not miss this opportunity.
At this time, another Cheng Xinzhan suddenly appeared behind Bai Wuchang. A flying bone sword came out from nowhere like an embroidery needle, pierced into the back of Bai Wuchang's head, and flew out from between his eyebrows. After flying out, it emitted a bright purple and red rainbow light and hit the black and green golden pill that was about to return to his body.
Tortoise-shell-like cracks formed on the surface of the golden elixir. Bai Wuchang screamed and spat out a large amount of blood.
Cheng Xinzhan was not surprised that his golden elixir could not be completely destroyed. The tempering time of "Youdu" was not long, and Bai Wuchang's golden elixir had been washed four times. However, what Cheng Xinzhan did not expect was that Bai Wuchang had some treasure in his purple palace, and the flying sword pierced his skull but failed to destroy his soul.
The cracked black golden pill was knocked away by the flying sword, making a mournful sound. Then, it flew back at an even faster speed as if it was dying, and landed in Bai Wuchang's stomach.
It took Cheng Xinzhan two consecutive surprise attacks to seriously injure Bai Wuchang, so of course he wanted to give him a beating now. "Taodu" shone brightly and flew after Bai Wuchang's body. Cheng Xinzhan didn't believe that Bai Wuchang's soul and golden elixir could withstand it if they were hit by "Taodu".
However, at this time, the Eight-Armed Dragon King's face was darker than the bottom of a pot. He wanted to take the opportunity to test Bai Wuchang's strength, but at the same time he didn't want to kill two very famous Taoist disciples with his own hands. However, he didn't expect that Cheng Xinzhan almost killed Bai Wuchang under his nose!
"How brave!"
Cao Jin uttered two words between his teeth, raised his hand and shot out a thunderbolt, which broke open "Taodu" and saved Bai Wuchang's life.
The bamboo body and the flesh body stood together, and the two Cheng Xinzhan laughed out loud at the same time and said in unison,
"Cao Jin! Can you still sit back and do nothing at this moment? Come on, I will accompany you to the end!"
