Western Hunan belonged to the Qianzhong Road during the Tang Dynasty.
During the Tang and Yu Dynasties, it was known as the "Barbarian Land" and fell into the scope of the "Three Miao".
Because of this, there are many large and small Miao people here who inherit ancient witchcraft, including voodoo, omens, exorcisms, spells and deities, etc.
Among them, the most powerful one is naturally the spirit trance. This kind of witchcraft relies on the power of the natural god to give an ordinary person instant power to overwhelm mountains and seas.
Xiangxi is mysterious and weird, and most people don't dare to act recklessly here, otherwise they will anger the local witches, and the consequences can be said to be unimaginable.
And in this place where witches and wizards are everywhere, a branch of Xuanmen has taken root.
This Taoist branch is the Yinshan Sect.
Although today's Taoist sects do not admit that the Yinshan Sect belongs to Taoism, the founder of the Yinshan Sect, Xie Wushang's magic, originated in Maoshan. He subsequently absorbed the magic of folk witchcraft, Lushan Sect, Pu'an Sect and other sects, and independently formed the Bao'an Sect. Human Yinshen utilizes the Dharma veins to the extreme.
Therefore, the Yinshan Sect does not consider itself a "faculty" and claims to be a side sect of Xuanmen.
The magic of Yinshan's Dharma Lineage is very effective, and the speed of manifestation is particularly fast. Generally speaking, Xuanmen disciples of the same realm are really no match for Yinshan disciples.
There are many ways to restrain spirits and dispatch generals in Taoist sects. Most of these sects are protected by their ancestors and dispatch heavenly soldiers and generals. Many of them are members of various immortal sects.
The Yinshan sect's Ju Lingqian generals are different. There is a particularly important ghost general in their training. This ghost general is extremely powerful. Most of his soldiers and horses are composed of lonely ghosts from all walks of life, and some are invited from the underworld.
You must know that the law of the jungle in the spiritual world is very cruel. As a ghost, your own cultivation is not as good as that of a demon. If you are not a powerful ghost with deep cultivation, you will never be able to control the altar.
Therefore, every disciple of the Yinshan Sect who has accomplished something in cultivation is a very powerful ghost general. It is not an exaggeration to describe him as a ghost king.
Yinshan sect.
All the disciples knelt down on the ground tremblingly.
Sitting in the headmaster's chair is a middle-aged Taoist wearing a black robe and a goatee.
The Taoist's face was distorted and his whole body was trembling, "Dead! Dead without a life!"
Next to the Taoist stood a beautiful and extremely beautiful young woman. She also had a gloomy expression on her face, "Brother is really dead?"
These two people were Xie Wushang, the ancestor of Yinshan, and his daughter Xie Lingxiao.
Xie Wushang burst into tears and said: "I know that there will be a great disaster in Wu Ming's destiny, so I named him Wu Ming. I hope that this name can suppress the disaster. I never thought that I would still suffer a disaster."
Xie Lingxiao's eyes flashed with joy, but on the surface, he gritted his teeth and said, "Who? Who killed my brother? I want to avenge him!"
Yes, Xie Lingxiao was not as angry in his heart as he appeared on the surface.
On the contrary, she was still secretly happy.
Although her brother Xie Wuming is a "waste" in cultivation, since ancient times, the core secret method has been passed down to men but not to women, and to elders but not to children.
If Xie Wuming survives, Xie Lingxiao will never be able to make a difference for the rest of his life. In a few years, he may even be married to a disciple of a famous sect by his father for profit.
As an ambitious woman, Xie Lingxiao did not want to become a "chess piece".
She is eager to obtain the inheritance of her father's Dafa and to take charge of the Yinshan Sect in the future.
Now, my brother Xie Wuming is dead.
Xie Lingxiao knew that her opportunity had come!
It's just that the opportunity has come, and now Xie Wushang is suffering from the pain of losing her son. When she is filled with grief and anger, she can't show off her schadenfreude, so she pretends to be equally angry.
"It's Chen Pu, a disciple of the Zhengyang disciple of the Ningyang Cave in Zhongnan Mountain!" Xie Wushang suppressed his anger and said as calmly as possible: "None of you are allowed to go to him for revenge. When the Battle of the Gods comes, At this time, I will personally avenge Wu Ming for this bloody vendetta!"
Xie Lingxiao cried bitterly and said: "Dad, I don't know when the battle of the Gods will come. My brother died tragically. Let my daughter avenge him!"
"No!" Xie Wushang narrowed his eyes and said, "I said, I will avenge my lifeless revenge myself!"
As a father, how could he not avenge the loss of his son with his own hands?
As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something. His eyes moved from his daughter to a group of disciples kneeling on the ground, and finally fell on the leader of the middle-aged black-clothed Taoist, "Wuji, as the chief disciple, you usually interact with Wu Ming has a close relationship, I am here to remind you, never overstep your authority to avenge Wu Ming, my son's revenge must be avenged by me!"
Yin Wuji looked calm and kowtowed, "Disciple, I will obey my master's decree."
oh.
Yes, there is also Senior Brother.
Xie Lingxiao couldn't help but look at Yin Wuji again. This man was the senior brother of the Yinshan Sect. He had been a disciple of Xie Wuming and Xie Lingxiao long before they were born. He had a deep relationship with Xie Wushang, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe him as half-son.
There was a hint of viciousness in her eyes, knowing that it would still be difficult for her to ascend to the throne if she didn't get rid of this senior brother.
Xie Wushang said nothing more, stood up in despair, turned around and entered the inner hall.
None of the disciples dared to talk nonsense and dispersed quietly.
As the eldest disciple of the sect, Yin Wuji has to take charge of all the affairs of the sect and is very busy on weekdays.
He was getting ready to get busy at the moment.
Suddenly, Xie Lingxiao walked by crying intentionally or unintentionally.
Yin Wuji has regarded himself as a member of the Xie family since he was a child, and he also treats Xie Lingxiao as his younger sister.
Now that he saw his "sister" crying, he felt heartbroken and comforted him: "Junior brother, don't be sad, my mentor will avenge Wu Ming."
"You are not my Xie family. Now that my brother has passed away, isn't it what you intended to inherit?" Xie Lingxiao was very angry.
Yin Wuji was a little embarrassed by the scolding, "Junior brother, why do you say this?"
Xie Lingxiao sneered while shedding tears: "Do you really think that I don't know what you are thinking? I don't know when the battle of the gods will come. It may be decades, hundreds or even hundreds of years. By then, you will take over my father's mantle. , if you succeed in occupying the magpie's nest, will you still consider my brother's hatred?"
"Junior brother, I was killed without my life, and I am very sad in my heart." Yin Wuji tried his best to explain: "But my mentor refused to take action..."
Xie Lingxiao roared at the top of his lungs with excitement: "You have just broken through to the realm of a superior mage, and your cultivation has reached the pinnacle. Don't you have the ability to avenge my brother? Why are you trying to prevaricate me by saying that my father won't allow revenge? You It's clear that he has evil intentions. Seeing that my Xie family has no male, I want to take over my father's mantle in peace! It's really hateful to be so ambitious!"
After saying that, she rolled up her sleeves and left.
When leaving, Xie Lingxiao secretly glanced outside the door and found that many fellow apprentices were attracted by his loud scolding of Yin Wuji.
She knew that her plan was half successful. If Yin Wuji really didn't take any action next, he would definitely be regarded as someone who wanted to occupy the magpie's nest by his fellow apprentices, and he would no longer be able to teach internally to convince others.
But if Yin Wuji really goes to avenge Xie Wuming, it would be best if she is killed. Then no one will stop her from Xie Lingxiao truly inheriting the orthodoxy.
If she hadn't been killed and robbed her father of the opportunity to avenge his beloved son, I'm afraid it wouldn't be easy in the future, and he might even be kicked out of the sect.
It can be said that Xie Lingxiao's move directly put Yin Wuji on the fire, which was really a dilemma.
Yin Wuji naturally noticed the pointing disciples outside the door, and his expression suddenly turned ugly.
He is not as complicated as Xie Lingxiao, and he does not have the problem of trying to convince the crowd or not.
Because he has always regarded himself as a member of the Xie family.
Now his "sister" Xie Lingxiao actually said such vicious words, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
For a moment, Yin Wuji seemed to have firmed up some idea in his heart and looked towards the north.
…
Time flies, time flies like an arrow.
In the blink of an eye, a month passed.
Chen Yun followed Zhong Liquan to practice dragon slaying and had some initial success.
Because the Dragon Slaying Technique is not only a single-target fighting technique, it also contains the method of arranging troops and forming formations.
Therefore, when today entered the training stage, he could not continue practicing.
How can you practice without the cooperation of soldiers and horses?
Zhong Liquan frowned and said, "If you really can't do it, skip the military training."
Chen Yun blinked and said, "Teacher, it just so happened that Zhang Tianshi made a divine general for me earlier. How about I go catch some ghosts today and turn them into divine soldiers?"
Zhong Liquan thought about it for a moment, "That's okay. This technique of arranging troops to form a combined attack has great power. If you can really gather the magic soldiers, you will be able to fight against the demons and monsters with advanced skills in the future. Today's training is just over. You If you want to gather lonely souls and wild ghosts to become magic soldiers, go and find them yourself. As a teacher, you also need to understand the way of heaven and man, so I won’t help you with such a small matter."
Chen Yunzuo bowed his head and saluted: "Here."
Zhong Liquan said nothing more and turned back to the upper room to comprehend the way of heaven and man.
As soon as his mentor left, Chen Yun meditated secretly.
In the past month, I have improved my cultivation by relying on the Qi Refining Decoction every day, but there is still a long way to go before I can become a seventh-grade mage.
As for the Tao Qi that was transformed into the body after swallowing immortal wine and fire dates, there is currently no clue.
It seems that it is indeed difficult to make Dao Qi manifest.
Chen Yun set a goal for himself. Within a year, Dao Qi must manifest his Taoism, so he took this matter very seriously.
Of course, this month was not without success.
At least there is some progress in learning the dragon slaying technique.
Chen Yun can't say that he has mastery of hand-to-hand fighting techniques and the use of various weapons. At least he has made some achievements.
However, there is still no progress on how to combine Taoism, environment, astrology, etc. into fighting techniques.
After all, those are the training contents after learning to arrange troops and formations.
"If I can get used to arranging troops and formations, it will definitely greatly increase my combat power."
Chen Yun secretly pondered, "It's just that I have Qin Liang, a divine general, and Pi, a ferocious 'elf' who cannot be used as a conventional weapon. How can I recruit divine soldiers?"
There are many types of divine weapons.
They can be roughly divided into lonely ghosts and spirits that were born due to the gathering of spiritual energy somewhere in the mountains and rivers.
These lonely ghosts and spirits need to be gathered back, sacrificed and refined, and then worshiped day and night and completely transformed into real magic weapons, without any trace of evil spirit in them.
If it were somewhere else, it might be easier to find ghosts and ghosts in the mountains and rivers.
However, the area around Qingcheng Mountain had been "swept" by Zhang Tianshi a long time ago, and all the demon kings and ghost commanders were wiped out. It seemed that it was not easy to recruit soldiers.
Chen Yun felt that if he wanted to successfully recruit lonely ghosts or mountain spirits to become his own magic weapon, he still needed to find someone to ask about the situation.
He couldn't help but look at the Three Pools of Fog Spring where Wulonggou was located.
As a "local", Mr. Hu has lived here for hundreds of years, so he should be familiar with where there are ghosts and ghosts in the mountains and rivers.
Chen Yun decided to go to Master Hu and ask. As long as he could know where there were lonely ghosts and mountain spirits, and if he could successfully surrender, in the future the dojo would not only be guarded by divine soldiers, but also have divine generals and divine weapons when fighting with others. With help, the strength will suddenly increase a lot. The initial assumption is that Mr. Tiger knows where there are lonely ghosts and mountain spirits. If he doesn't know, there is nothing he can do.
