The two hundred and thirty seventh chapter refers to the slightly falling North Plains
Zhang Yu thought for a while and then said: "Guanzhi, what can you achieve by this method of sacrifice?"
Taoist Zhankong said solemnly: "I don't know this. The method of Huanyang sacrifice is to obtain small profits by killing the surplus. You often pay multiple times to get a little benefit. Fortunately, judging from Junior Brother Ren's subsequent actions, he should not have
What do you get out of this?”
Zhang Yudao: "Then maybe it's not Ren Xuanzun who got something, but someone else?"
Taoist Zhankong said slowly: "What Shouzheng said is true, but this is very possible." He looked down and said solemnly: "There should be other arrangements for this method of sacrifice. We can look for it.
Let’s take a look and see if there are any other clues.”
Zhang Yu nodded.
The two of them then walked around and found four more altars, all of which were arranged around the central location. It was obviously a large-scale sacrificial array.
The sacrificial formation is said to be a formation, but it is not the kind of defensive restriction. It is just an application of principles. Therefore, it does not need to borrow earth veins or correspond to the direction of the stars. It will not be affected if it is set up within the turbid tide.
.
Zhang Yu made another discovery here. I am afraid that not only the main sacrifices were sacrificed, but also all the indigenous creatures within the area of the sacrifice formation were also sacrificed.
But other than that, there are no other clues to pursue.
Taoist Zhankong said: "Zhang Shouzheng, we'd better report this matter to Xuanting."
Zhang Yudao: "That should be the case."
Normally, if you want to find someone, Xuan Zun only needs to sense him. As long as the other person is still in the inner layer, there will eventually be a trace of involvement. But this person is different. He has already tried it and can't sense his location at all.
, either he is dead or there is a special way to avoid it.
Considering that Ren Yinping, who is of the Yuandu lineage, has long been associated with him, he may have been able to escape that day with the help of the Yuandu sect's magic weapon. And after that, other methods may have been used. And
The Huanyang Sect is also involved here, so this must be reported to Xuanting.
Taoist Zhankong said: "I will go back to Xuanting once, and I will keep my work in order."
Zhang Yudao: "Guanzhi's words are serious. This matter is above the boundary of Dongting, and there are Huanyang sect and Shouzhenggong Shouzheng involved in it, but I have to ask. If there is an arrangement in Xuanting, Yuye should come forward and deal with it together."
This matter."
Taoist Zhankong nodded, and after bowing his head, he turned into a ray of light and jumped into the air and flashed away.
Zhang Yu glanced below a few more times, and the shadow also dissipated.
Go up to the sky and hold up the sky.
The long-lasting sacrificial ceremony has come to an end.
At the moment when the ritual ceremony was completed, the golden and jade giant leopards used to set up the formation were all broken into pieces and rotted. The entire formation was turned into a scorched black, and five holes appeared where the giant lei was originally placed.
Everything was gone, as if even oneself had been sacrificed.
Seeing this, Taoist Tianhong said: "If everything goes well, Taoist friend Yingchong will return within two years. If it doesn't go well, then try again. If it doesn't work, then we can only wait slowly."
."
Guyangzi said: "Then we'll see again after two years."
Taoist Lingdu didn't speak at the side, just stared at the formation.
Guyangzi paid attention to his gaze and asked with concern: "What are you looking at, fellow Taoist?"
Lingdu Taoist said: "I have also seen the method of Huanyang Sect. They kill the surplus to obtain small profits. I just made some calculations and found that the surplus greatly exceeds the purpose of this recruitment. But apart from the recruitment,
Where did the rest go?”
Taoist Tianhong was very indifferent to this. He flicked his sleeves and said: "It doesn't matter where it goes, whether it is scattered or used elsewhere, since I use Huanyang's method, there is no harm in letting it get some benefits."
, as long as we can achieve what we want."
Taoist Lingdu said: "I'm just afraid that fellow Taoist Yingchong might be plotted against me."
Guyangzi said: "Fellow Taoist Yingchong is always cautious. If he feels something is wrong, he will not come back. Fellow Taoist Lingdu can rest assured."
The Lingdu Taoist said: "That's good."
At this moment, a flying letter came over, but it was coming directly towards him. He reached out and took it in his hand. He looked at it a few times and saw that both of them were looking over. He didn't explain anything and turned the letter away.
, and then he slapped his head and said: "I have something to do, so I'll take my leave first."
Guyang and Tianhong said goodbye to him.
After Taoist Lingdu left, Guyangzi said: "Fellow Taoist Lingdu's concerns are not unreasonable. Huanyang's methods are treacherous. Is it better to use them less?"
Tianhong Taoist said: "The Huanyang Sect must have some means, but since we are going to attract him back, why should we care about these?"
Guyangzi didn't say much more. Just as Tianhong said, the Huanyang faction was originally going to be attracted back. There may be other influences, but compared to Tianxia who has to deal with them, these details can indeed be ignored.
Besides, they have Qingling Tianzhi, so they are not afraid of what Huanyang can do.
Taoist Master Lingdu returned to his Taoist palace. A disciple came over and said, "Sir, this is the submission just sent from Youcheng."
The Lingdu Taoist took it over, read it, and put the book away. At this moment, he suddenly thought of something and asked, "How is Jin Xuanzun's place lately?"
The disciple said: "Jin Xuanzun has been teaching disciples in Tianwai, and there has been no movement. But not long ago, he asked someone about Wei Xuanzun."
"Wei Mao?"
Taoist Lingdu was slightly surprised. Wei Mao was also Shangchen Tianxuanzun, but he had never come out since he had retreated more than a hundred years ago, but this was nothing. For true retreat, a hundred years is not a long time, it is just a golden period.
Xing suddenly asked about someone... Could it be that these two people had any dealings in the past?
He thought for a moment and called out, "Where is the healing spirit?"
As soon as the words fell, a figure appeared in front of him. A Taoist priest in green clothes appeared in front of him. He bowed his head and said, "What are your orders from the Lord Lingdu?"
A Taoist from Lingdu asked: "Why did Wei Mao retreat that day?"
The Taoist replied: "Wei Xuanzun fought against a certain Tianxia Xuanzun that day. It is said that he suffered a lot of damage. After he came back, he went into seclusion to recuperate and said that he wanted to learn more superior techniques."
The Taoist from Lingdu waved his hand, and the Taoist shook his head and dispersed.
Seeing him thinking, the disciple asked: "Sir, can I call Jin Xuanzun to ask?"
The Lingdu Taoist said calmly: "No, you are not allowed to tell others about this matter."
The disciple replied cautiously: "Yes, disciple, keep this in mind."
The Lingdu Taoist said: "Go and call Xuanzun Qingkong, and tell him that a letter has been received from Youcheng, and he needs to go one more time to settle the matter."
After Taoist Zhankong left Dongting Nanlu, he returned to the upper level and directly reported his findings to Xuanting.
When Xuanting received this news, because it might involve the Huanyang faction, he immediately ordered three court officials, Chen Yu, Lin Huaixin, and Wu Qingxu, to investigate the matter.
If Xuanting really wants to insist on checking a certain thing, the power it can use is huge, and this place is not comparable to those sects in the past.
Unlike the outer monks of Shangchentian, Shouzheng Guanliang has always been in Shouzheng Palace. There are many documents exchanged over hundreds of years, which really left a lot of his energy.
Lin Huaixin borrowed these things, took off their breath, and put them into a Dharma plate with pictures of stars, sun, moon, and longitude and latitude figures.
There was a long-handled jade spoon on this plate. Immediately after the breath came into it, it kept spinning there. At the end, suddenly the handle of the spoon dropped down, stopped in a certain place, and tapped three times in that direction.
Lin Huaixin took a look and said: "This person is still in the inner layer, and the micro disk has found his location." He stretched out his hand and pointed, and a clear picture appeared on the disk, and said: "He is there.
From the north of Youyuan Shangzhou, on a cliff and ice continent."
Taoist Zhankong said solemnly: "Since this matter has something to do with our Yuandu sect, I should go find out the truth."
He said goodbye to the three court officials and first went to the East Courtyard to find Zhang Yu. Then the latter transformed into an avatar and went north to look for him with him.
After leaving the Dongting land, there was no disturbance from the turbid tide. Taoist Zhankong directly used the authority of Yuandu Xuantu to send himself and Zhang Yuhuaying to the ice field.
The two settled down and looked into the distance. On top of the large expanse of ice and snow, there was a curved black boulder floating on the gray-white ice sheet like the back of a giant fish.
There is an opening on the back of the boulder, which can be seen from a distance, but the size can almost fill a small lake, but there is a spiritual smoke rising from it, vaguely merging with the blazing sun in the sky.
After Taoist Zhankong looked at it for a few times, he said with a serious expression: "The Huanyang Sect's technique, the 'Jiyang Form Refining' technique."
Zhang Yudao: "Are they the remnants of the Huanyang Sect?"
Taoist Zhankong said solemnly: "It shouldn't be so. When the Huanyang Sect was expelled, all the Huanyang Sect monks must have been expelled together, and no one could be left behind. What's the secret behind this, Zhang Shouzheng
, we will know when we go up and take a look.”
Zhang Yu nodded, looked ahead again, and said: "There should be a forbidden array for maintenance ahead."
Taoist Zhankong also saw it. This formation spread across the entire ice field, implicating a large number of land lines. The scale was very large. The person who arranged it must have put a lot of thought into it. If the person in charge of the formation was at the same level as them
, then it is definitely not a wise move to break in.
But they don't have to be.
Although there were only two of them here this time, the entire Tianxia Xuanting stood behind them.
Taoist Zhankong stretched out his hand and drew a golden dome in the air. Then he clicked it and the dome turned into a brilliant rainbow and flew into the sky.
After waiting quietly for a while, a gap suddenly opened in the sky, and a ball of light emerged from it. There seemed to be thunder running inside. A moment later, a beam of light fell from the sky and struck straight ahead.
Above the ice formation!
This light lasted for half a moment, and then it dispersed into thousands of stardust lights and dispersed. The ice field in front of me seemed to have been hit by a giant object, with countless cracks. It could be seen that there were streaks of lightning from time to time in the gaps.
Wandering and flickering.
And all the formation restrictions there were shattered by this blow.
