Chapter 2: Seventy-two Earth Demon Techniques, Earth Demon Sword Sutra
In the Northern Territory of Yue Kingdom, there is a large sect in Jinhong Valley.
Although this sect was established only two hundred years ago and has insufficient foundation to be ranked among the top sects in the Northern Han Continent, the Yue Kingdom is located in the southern part of the Northern Han Continent, close to the Southern Yan Continent and the Southern Yan Continent.
Overseas monks exchange knowledge with each other, and there are many precious minerals and spiritual veins in the mountains and ridges in the territory. In addition, the sect's great elder, Qingyang Patriarch, has profound magical power and powerful supernatural powers, which has the possibility of further advancement in practice.
Therefore, over the years, its sphere of influence has gradually expanded and become more prosperous, and it has the potential to become the leader of the seven major sects in the Yue Kingdom.
Today is the day when Jinhong Valley opens its gates once every twenty years and recruits disciples.
At this time, outside the mountain gate's forbidden circle, a large number of casual cultivators gathered. They each used their skills to seek favor. There were even some mortals who pursued the legend of immortal fate, crossed thousands of mountains and rivers, and went through countless dangers.
When I got here, I knelt in front of the gate of Jinhong Valley and begged hard to enter the courtyard.
The vast majority of them will return disappointed, because there is only one mortal with the qualifications to cultivate immortals. Even if they have the qualifications to cultivate immortals and successfully join the sect, they have no resources and no reliance, but they have to come from the outer sect.
In the disciple stage, he began to struggle hard, almost becoming a servant.
However, in the eyes of those who knelt down and begged, all they could see was enthusiasm, desire, and desperate obsession.
Flying with a sword, entering and exiting the underworld, becoming immortal, and being immortal like the heaven and earth, the sun and the moon. This is a world where Taoism manifests itself, and the desire in the heart of every living being.
As a descendant of a well-established and well-connected family, Zhang Lie certainly does not need to suffer like the casual cultivators and mortals outside.
At this moment, he and several other young men and women of similar age were standing behind a tall, thin, middle-aged Taoist with a sharp and cold temperament.
This Taoist had hawk-like eyes and a hooked nose, with deep-set eye sockets. The long-handled iron sword slanted on his back was extremely eye-catching. Even the monks from the same sect had to give way wherever he passed:
Because he is Yin Tianchou, the Seven Evils Taoist, a monk in the foundation-building realm of Jinhong Valley, and also a very famous evil star in the Yue Kingdom's cultivation world.
Yin Tianchou came from a family of cultivators, but when he was young, his entire family was wiped out. He was the only one who managed to survive. Forty years later, Yin Tianchou, who had cultivated to the level of foundation building, took revenge with a sword, and killed five of his peers in one battle.
As the enemies of the Foundation Establishment Realm, they wiped out the families behind the five people in one fell swoop, leaving no trace of their enemies behind.
After taking revenge, Yin Tianchou still has no restraint and runs rampant across the country. This extremely murderous Taoist has probably killed nearly a thousand people in his practice so far. To describe him as having hands full of blood is not an exaggeration.
Let’s talk less about it.
It has been a while since my fourth uncle Zhang Chuanli came to the Northern Territory from Nanyan Continent. Of course, it is impossible for such a ruthless man like Zhang Lie to have no understanding of him.
However, Zhang Lie did not expect that he would be placed under the command of Taoist Qi Sha by the ancestor of the Danjie Stage. With such a master, it is difficult to predict whether the future will be a blessing or a curse.
Taoist Qisha took his six newly recruited disciples and stood at the gate of the sect for a while before leading them back into the sect.
"The opportunity to seek the Tao is extremely precious. Just wanting to set foot on the Tao, many people will risk their lives to get it. Except for Lao Liu, you are all children of the family and have the shadow of your predecessors to protect you, so you may not know
If you don't cherish it or don't feel it deeply... then keep in mind what you saw today. When you slack off in your cultivation in the future, or when your mood is wavering, think carefully about the difficulties faced by casual cultivators and ordinary people today in seeking the Tao."
After arriving at the cave he owned, Qisha Taoist Yin Tianchou said this to everyone.
Then he waved his hand, and with the flash of aura, everyone including Zhang Lie appeared in front of everyone, including a sword suspended in the void with aura spreading, and a jade slip.
"Each person has a second-level mid-grade flying sword and the Blazing Lotus Sword Technique. This master is so generous. Couldn't these be obtained by him killing people and grabbing treasures?"
Although he is only fourteen years old, due to his "precocious wisdom", Zhang Lie is now a monk at the fourth level of Qi training, which barely matches the magic sword that is spreading with dark red light in front of him, and because he must be the master
He practices the Purple Heart Dharma, so Taoist Qi Sha gave him a practical book of sword techniques. It can be said that he has taken a big step ahead of his other brothers.
"Okay, Manmei, in the past few days, you can take them to get familiar with the sect's environment and the sect's laws. Yifei, please stay here. I have something to say to you, master."
"I obey, Master."
When all the disciples heard this, they all bowed and said so.
In addition to the six disciples he accepted today, Taoist Qi Sha also has an eldest disciple, Li Manmei, and his only son Yin Yifei. This Taoist with a cold temperament only has a slightly gentle tone when talking to these two people.
Fortunately, Li Manmei was bright and elegant, and was not difficult to get along with. In the following time, she took the six junior brothers and sisters who had just joined Jinhong Valley to various important buildings in the sect, and at the same time, she continued to pay attention to them in the process.
Everyone talks about the various taboos in the sect’s rules.
After taking everyone through the three important buildings of the sect's main hall, the Secret Law Pavilion, and the sect's treasure house, Li Manmei led her junior brothers and sisters to a building with a solemn atmosphere and an extremely open space.
"Instruction Taoist Hall, from now on, this may be the place where you go most often besides Master's cave. On one day of every month, from top to bottom, headed by the sect leader, the elders and deacons in the sect must publicly teach the Taoist experience for the benefit of the younger generations.
It is used by the disciples, and this is the place where this activity is held."
"Senior Sister, what are those words on the stone wall of the Tuye Dao Temple?"
After walking along this way, several people who were still a little unfamiliar gradually became familiar with each other. Kong Xiu, the only female disciple among the seven except Li Manmei, asked out of curiosity.
Zhang Lie ranked fifth among the seven in order of apprenticeship, and Kong Xiu ranked sixth. She was also the only mortal among the seven. However, no one dared to look down upon her. As a mortal with no foundation, she could be defeated by the Seven Evils.
The fact that the Taoist accepted him as his disciple already showed that Kong Xiu's cultivation aptitude was extremely outstanding.
Li Manmei also looked at Kong Xiu differently, maybe because both of them were women, so they had some closeness.
"This is the Taihao Golden Chapter of the Heavenly Book from Beyond the Realm. The Taoism of our Xuanhuang world is divided into two types. One is the cultivation method of this realm, which is passed down from the methods of the true immortals of the upper realm in ancient times. It is combined with the monks of this realm to understand the heaven and earth and learn from nature.
, created the Taoist tradition and developed it to this day.”
"Another kind of skill is the inheritance from outside the world, the book from outside the world. This book was obtained by our three ancestors Qingyang, Chimei, and Qianfeng in an unexpected encounter. Because they really couldn't understand the secrets of the skills in it, they left half of it.
The department is here, and I hope that my disciples can use their brains to crack it, and the rewards will be generous. However, I suggest you not to get too obsessed with it. The foreign characters are complicated and difficult to decipher, especially this Taihao Golden Seal. It is said that one word has multiple meanings, and it will be updated after it is completed into a sentence.
Just like the Book of Heaven, many monks can't decipher a few sentences after studying for a lifetime, and they can't even tell whether what they deciphered is right or wrong."
Even though he said this, Li Manmei still led her junior brothers and sisters to the stone wall of the Taoist Hall.
This half of the Extraterrestrial Book is also a famous scene in Jinhong Valley. Although the extraterrestrial characters are very difficult to decipher, the strokes are smart and the fonts are neat and neat, making it extremely beautiful.
Outside of the teaching days, the teaching hall is relatively deserted, so these new disciples can get close to the stone wall and observe it up close.
It was not just Li Manmei and his group who did this, there were also many new disciples who had joined the sect, and the large number of people was quite lively.
Therefore, no one noticed that Zhang Lie's expression looked slightly strange as he slowly walked past the ancient seal characters on the stone wall.
"This, this is ancient seal script, and the words on it are ancient seal script and gold inscriptions! The Taihao Golden Seal, Tiangang Disha, and what is recorded on it is the Disha Sword Sutra!"
"Although I can't burn glass or make black powder, I am literate. I have gone through nine-year compulsory education. I am literate! Dad, I knew it was not for nothing that you chased me down several streets with a shovel and forced me to finish college.
If you read it, I know it!"
Although there are great differences between ancient seal characters and modern characters, because the civilization passed down from ancient times has never been cut off, and has the writing foundation remembered in his mind, Zhang Lie can read these ancient seal characters much better than people in this world.
I know how much easier it is.
In his previous life, he died in the fire, but in this life he encountered the Book of Heaven and Earthly Evil Sword from outside the world. Zhang Lie didn't believe it if there wasn't some connection between Qi and Qi.
At this moment, he was extremely sure that whether he could gain a foothold in this cruelly competitive world of immortality in the future, his greatest reliance was neither on the large sect Jinhong Valley, nor on his master Qi Sha Taoist, who was brutally killing people and had amazing swordsmanship.
It’s the half of the Sword Sutra in front of you.
