The crowd of Taoists turned their heads and found that they couldn't look down on the appearance of this suddenly appearing Taoist.
Only the old Taoist who accompanied the ancient books on the top of the library, after being stunned, stared at his Taoist robe and thought of something. He turned his head and looked at the low buzzing sword, as if he had discovered something unbelievable. His face slowly froze, and his breathing became slow.
The shadow of the snake was stunned, and then a muffled sound came from the mountain below:
"You actually recognize me?!"
Wei Yuan smiled and replied, "Of course."
Your family's ancestor's identity card was processed by me.
He didn't say this sentence.
But when Yu tamed the waters in the past, this kind of monster that caused floods wherever it went was naturally caught in large numbers. However, this kind of snake actually had the possibility of becoming a god. At that time, the gods of the Western Kunlun were also present, and no one dared to eat it. Wei Yuan didn't know what adverse reactions he would have if he ate it, so he didn't record it.
After the snake was shocked, it immediately became angry:
"Since you know my clan's identity, how dare you stop me?!"
"Release me quickly, otherwise, one day I will break free and flood your Wei Ming Sect. No grass will grow within a thousand miles. You will know how powerful I am!"
Wei Yuan sighed in his heart. If you do this, you might be able to make up for the regrets of ancient times.
The snake, a water beast, with a human face and a jackal body, wings, moves like a snake, and its voice is like a roar. It brings floods and devours...
Originally, the arrogant and boastful snake didn't know why, but suddenly felt a chill on its back.
Xuan Yi looked at the Taoist in the robe in surprise.
Then he and Zhao Yi, who was also stunned beside him, looked at each other and saw the same thoughts in each other's eyes. They both thought of the young host who visited the mountain gate today, and the Taoist with tiger-like eyes bowed and politely said, "I don't know this Daoist friend..."
Wei Yuan deliberately changed his voice and answered, "Deal with this monster first."
He looked at the mountain and said, "It seems that the previous seal is not enough."
The Taoist with tiger-like eyes smiled bitterly, "We didn't know before that this is a mountain and sea exotic beast."
This novel is available on "pawread dot com".
Without knowing the true identity of the other party, they forcibly suppressed this snake in the mountains. Wei Yuan could only sigh that the Taoist of the Heavenly Master's Mansion back then was really stubborn and had an absolutely irritable temper. He not only suppressed the snake, but also settled down nearby.
How about your ancient exotic beast? So what if you have a long lifespan?
I'm right here, giving birth to children and accepting disciples. I'm watching you and your descendants.
Are you angry? Are you angry?
I'm so angry!
The snake was still arrogantly boasting and cursing, and when it heard what the Taoist with tiger-like eyes said, it became even more proud. It said, "Seal? Hahaha, why don't you come and try? If you have the ability, open a ritual altar here. There is nothing here. As long as you dare to take a step away from this place, I can break free from the seal. Do you want to try?"
The Taoists were all angry.
Wei Yuan thought for a moment, bent down and picked up a few stones, and said, "Then let's give it a try."
He thought of the ritual altar and the spell he had seen before.
He felt an itch in his heart for a moment.
In addition, he couldn't let the snake escape. He believed in the foundation of the Wei Ming Sect and believed that the snake couldn't really escape. So he also had the intention to try. He remembered the records hidden in his heart--
It's actually quite complicated.
To establish a shrine, with a radius of one zhang, open four doors, and write the true form of the Northern Emperor in the quiet room.
Nine lamps are lit, and there are also seven lamps. Keep them burning to make the room bright. At night, light a candle in the room, and there are two sand altars, each four inches in diameter. In the middle, there is a incense burner, and five bowls of still water, and a sword. Don't let it touch anything unclean. In front of the clean room, build seven elemental altars, one zhang and two chi wide, and three chi high, with three layers.
This is just the ritual altar, and you still need to perform a ritual to summon the guardian gods.
He casually stacked the stones he picked up.
Not only the snake, but all the Taoists were stunned, unable to understand his intentions. The exotic beast felt the changes above, and laughed loudly, full of mockery, and said, "I want to see what you, a stinky bull, can do!"
Wei Yuan arranged the stones casually, and then stood up.
The Taoist with tiger-like eyes said, "This Daoist friend, why don't we..."
Wei Yuan had already taken the first step and said:
"The vermilion bird soars, the divine power is unleashed. The four towns of the mountain source, the ghost soldiers flee."
The Taoist with tiger-like eyes was slightly stunned.
At the same time, involving the Rosefinch, divine power, and the word "town", it was obviously not a type of sealing reinforcement spell. Even the snake was stunned for a moment. Then Wei Yuan continued to step forward and recite the spell.
When words like "Dragon Tiger Slash" and "Lifting the Mountain and Seizing the Sky" continued to appear, the snake sensed that something was extremely wrong.
Dragon Tiger Slash?
What kind of seal is this? It's so powerful!
The Taoist with tiger-like eyes was dumbfounded, "This..."
He couldn't help but say, "Daoist friend, this spell is impossible for one person without opening an altar..."
This spell comes from the "Profound Explanation of the North Emperor's Exorcism Spell" by the Supreme Primordial Heavenly Venerable.
A divine seal.
Under normal circumstances, it is even used to resolve major military disasters. It requires setting up a seven-element altar at the north gate, following the timing, lighting lamps and burning incense, and performing the ritual. It requires all the rituals and ceremonies of the altar. How is it possible...
Before his thoughts could rise, a scorching aura emerged.
The Taoist with tiger-like eyes' face froze.
The atmosphere among the Taoists became silent.
Subconsciously, they looked at the Taoist who was walking step by step, and many wrong Taoists, looking at the seemingly joking ritual altar.
The entire mountain began to shake. There was real earth lung fire below the mountain. At this moment, it was being triggered. Seeing the aura behind the Taoist, the clouds in the sky hung low, as if there were really three hundred thousand soldiers and generals under the Northern Emperor's command. The real earth lung fire below the mountain was being triggered.
Xuan Yi and Zhao Yi felt that something was wrong and regained their senses. They were forced to retreat step by step by the scorching heat wave.
Their expressions changed slightly as they looked at their own master and said, "Master, we need to..."
Crash-As soon as the voice fell, a middle-aged Taoist with a stern and fierce expression and a beard on his cheeks grabbed Zhang Xiaoyu and Lin Ling'er, two young Taoists who followed, with one hand each. The two young Taoists dangled in the air, while the Taoist stepped on the Yu steps and seemed to be surrounded by flying clouds.
In an instant, he left the two strong and powerful juniors behind without even looking at them.
Xuan Yi and Zhao Yi's faces stiffened.
They glanced at each other.
Obviously, in the eyes of the elders--
The Taoist is still a junior.
The two of them smiled bitterly and quickly retreated. They recorded that the author of the scriptures of this altar was a master who had received the "Shangqing Three Caves Scripture" and practiced in the Bixiao Cave. The Tian Shi Dao is higher than this scripture, and only the Shangqing scripture received by the Tian Shi Dao in each generation is higher.
But that doesn't mean that the Tian Shi Dao is the strongest...
Because the Tian Shi Dao must be a descendant of the Zhang family.
So the meaning contained in this scripture is that the strongest Taoist in Shen Zhou, except for the Zhang family.
Or perhaps, the strongest Taoist in Shen Zhou.
According to the records, this Taoist scripture was completed from the end of the Tang Dynasty to the beginning of the Song Dynasty.
The end of the Tang Dynasty was one of the peaks of cultivation in the Central Divine Land.
At this moment, the lung fire under the mountain has already been ignited. The fiery golden fire rises and turns into a snake, but Wei Yuan's movements are slow and sluggish. This time, he further understood the system of the altar's symbols, connected the three talents of heaven, earth, and man through symbols, and successfully completed this connection relying on symbols.
But this spell exceeded his limit.
If he had to use it, I'm afraid he would need to be in the altar of the Dragon and Tiger Mountain.
At this moment, he felt his spiritual nature rise, overlooking his physical body, and at the same time came into contact with the invisible heavenly court system built by the generations of true cultivators, and came into contact with the lung fire of the earth. As long as he used his own cultivation to move them, connect the two, the altar would be formed, and this magical power would be displayed.
But he was stuck at this step.
Wei Yuan focused his mind and felt the limit of his cultivation, and firmly remembered this feeling.
Externally, his movements gradually slowed down and became heavier. Clearly, he only needed to take the last step and use the spell to make the ground fire surge and complete the Taoist magical power called the Southern Fire Bell. But this step seemed as distant as a thousand mountains and rivers.
Like walking on the Great Wall.
Like turning thousands of mountains on a needlepoint.
Wei Yuan closed his eyes and comprehended this feeling.
He lifted his foot and slowly stepped down at an almost imperceptible speed.
The snake initially boasted and mocked, saying, "Taoist, are you serious? I just said a few words, there's no need to play so big, right?"
"This, Daoist, are you willing to sacrifice your ancestral heritage and die with me?"
"No, no, I surrender, I surrender."
"Daoist, Daoist, please stop!"
Wei Yuan stepped down.
The snake couldn't help but let out a frightened roar.
But he found that the accumulated heat around him no longer condensed, but slowly dissipated. Feeling the restless lung fire calm down, Wei Yuan opened his eyes and felt his own limit. He felt a tingling sensation in his brow, making him a little dizzy. He slowly retracted his steps, and the so-called altar next to him had already shattered and turned into powder.
Wei Yuan whispered, "Judging from your appearance, you are not even a thousand years old."
"The snake has three transformations in its life. What stage are you at? The spells and magical powers of your clan can guide the water veins of Shen Zhou and have the qualifications to bear the earth's qi. What level have you reached and how much water can you control? Who is the Qingjun you mentioned?"
The snake was terrified and unable to speak, saying, "How do you know the name of my ancestor?"
Wei Yuan said, "Your ancestor's strength is a hundred times stronger than yours, but he was still captured by others and almost lost his life."
"How much cultivation do you have? How dare you be so arrogant outside?"
He calmly revealed the inheritance of the ancient snake that he knew, making the snake both shocked and fearful.
Wei Yuan suppressed his headache and sighed:
"Step back."
The snake was frightened and dared not retort. It leaped down from the shadow and retreated after bowing.
At this moment, the Taoists all came forward together.
Xuan Yi and Zhao Yi had a look of confusion in their eyes.
But they dismissed the idea that this was the curator of the museum.
At this time, Wei Yuan himself was affected to some extent because he used the Southern Fire Taoist magical power, even if it was just a try, it was still far from success. He relied on the illusion technique transformed by the water control magical power, which had some slight changes.
Lin Ling'er and Zhang Xiaoyu were very small in size, and they curiously looked at the ancient Taoist robes they were wearing.
They couldn't see their faces clearly, but they seemed to be extremely ancient and powerful Taoists.
Then, from their perspective, they could see that under the Taoist's wide and ancient robe, his right hand fingers were powerful, but his palm was covered with a layer of modern black fingerless gloves. Lin Ling'er widened her eyes and suddenly remembered this afternoon when the young curator smiled and reached out his hand to offer snacks. She thought of him reaching out his hand to touch Zhang Xiaoyu's hair, and thought of the black fingerless gloves on his palm.
Lin Ling'er widened her eyes and her mouth slightly opened.
She looked at Zhang Xiaoyu beside her.
She found that the expression of the undead little girl, who was not very expressive, also widened her eyes and opened her mouth.
She instinctively reached out her hand to cover Zhang Xiaoyu's mouth, and Zhang Xiaoyu also reached out her hand to cover Lin Ling'er's mouth. The two young Taoists glanced at each other, then nodded heavily.
Wei Yuan came back to his senses slightly, and the illusion technique was restored.
And because of the perspective problem, those Taoists never noticed the slight anomaly that could only be seen from bottom to top. Wei Yuan felt that he finally had enough understanding of the altar system related to the symbols, and knew his own limit and where the limit of the magical powers he could stimulate was.
Feeling emotional, he took a look at Zhang Daoling's sword inserted into the ground, brushed his robe, and turned and left.
This was Zhang Daoling's thing, and he followed the path of military killing, so it was of no use to him.
Returning things to their original owners is to repay the favor of imparting the scriptures.Tiger-eyed Daoist stared at the remaining traces absentmindedly. Seeing that Daoist leave, he couldn't help but take a step forward and said, "I don't know the senior's Daoist name, but for today's matter, I will definitely come to thank you in person."
Wei Yuan replied gently, "Just a wandering Daoist between the mountains and seas."
"But we are just passing acquaintances, and we may not meet again in the future."
After finishing speaking, the Daoist had already gone far away. The other Daoists did not dare to stop him. Tiger-eyed Daoist turned around and saw the sword still on the ground. He quickly said, "Senior, the weapon..." Before he could finish his sentence, the old Daoist guarding the library rushed over, looking at the sword with trembling hands and a solemn expression.
The other Daoists also noticed that the sword was different.
The old Daoist held the hilt of the sword, paused for a moment, took a deep breath, and slowly drew the sword. His pupils widened as he saw the engraved imperial decree on the spine of the sword. He suddenly lost his composure. Suddenly, the imperial decree lit up, and the sword hummed with a clear sound. The scorching heat in the surroundings was suddenly absorbed by the sword.
The sword struggled and screamed, and the old man couldn't hold onto the sword. The sword slipped out of his hand and flew up, the sword and scabbard emitting a flowing light, soaring into the sky, and then suddenly turning around, heading towards the distance.
The scorching heat illuminated the surroundings, tearing through the sky, and then suddenly dimmed.
Wei Yuan's talisman on the back of his hand glowed faintly.
His palm subconsciously lifted.
The other Daoists looked up and followed the sword light, and in the distance, they saw the Daoist figure, simple and ancient, stepping forward without looking back. With just a raise of his hand, the long sword naturally entered his hand, and the sword light converged.
The sword light rose and fell, the Daoist held the sword, took a slight step to the side, and his gaze was calm.
When the sword light gradually dissipated, the Daoist was no longer visible.
Everyone fell into silence.
