Mingyue curiously pressed the switch on the statue of Taishang Daozu.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak," an unpleasant sound that made one's teeth ache resounded in the Tianshi Temple, followed by a sound that sounded like the rotation of iron chains, as if countless mechanisms were opening underground, and the rumbling sound continued for a long time.
After a while, these chaotic sounds slowly stopped.
Mingyue's heart was beating wildly, "What's going on?"
At this time, the green bricks under his feet suddenly made a "bang bang" sound and suddenly cracked on both sides.
"Oops!" Mingyue screamed, and her body fell downwards involuntarily. He had studied Taoism in Tianshi Tao for ten years, and his body was very polished. Although he was still unable to fly physically, he could still jump seven or eight feet in the air without any problem.
.
Surprised, he performed the "Swallow Three Copies of Water" technique, pointed his toes in the air, raised his body suddenly, and jumped out of the suddenly appeared underground passage lightly and deftly.
Standing in the main hall, Ming Yue was still in shock, and he looked down the passage.
This passage is quite dark, and you can vaguely see the passage going all the way down, and you don't know where it leads. It seems that there are people taking care of the passage frequently, and there is no smell of decay and dampness at all. Instead, it is dry and smooth, and there is still a faint smell.
The scent of sandalwood.
"Hey, why is there such a mechanism in this hall? What's in it?"
After watching for a while, Mingyue's curiosity was severely aroused. He has a child's mind and is at the age where he is full of curiosity about everything. How could he not let him suddenly appear in the mysterious crypt in Tianshi Temple?
Extremely excited?
After thinking about it, Mingyue ran back to her wing, took out a sword and a red candle as thick as a child's arm, and put several Tianshi Talisman equipment on her body, and then she got in step by step.
In an underground cave.
The cave is winding and zigzag-shaped all the way down. This place was obviously carefully designed by skilled craftsmen. Each step is flat and wide, making it very comfortable to walk on. There are many candlesticks along the way, and the candlesticks contain
They were filled with clear oil. As Mingyue walked, she took candles and lit these candlesticks one by one.
After a while, the passage was bright and bright, and combined with the ubiquitous sandalwood scent, it gave it a somewhat holy feeling.
I don’t know how long I walked, but when Mingyue was getting impatient, a small brass door suddenly appeared in front of me.
His eyes flashed with surprise. He put the candle aside and was about to open the door. After thinking about it, he took out a few Tianshi Talismans from his pocket and wrapped them in his hands to guard against any poison on the door.
With a "squeak" sound, the door opened, and the eyes suddenly opened up.
Behind the door is a main hall. The main hall is magnificent and magnificent. The floor is made of gold bricks, and each gold brick dazzles Mingyue's eyes. It is surrounded by extremely tall bookcases, each of which is about five feet high. Mingyue stands under the bookcases.
, and could barely reach the third row of the bookcase.
The main hall covers an area of several hundred feet, and is filled with bookcases like this. On the top of the main hall, dozens of luminous pearls as big as goose eggs are inlaid. The luminous pearls shine with a warm light, making the main hall as bright as day without the need for any torches.
The bookcases are stacked with a dazzling array of books.
Mingyue was stunned. His eyes swept over the rows of books.
The bottom row contains various Taoist canons and Taoist classics. There are "Tao Te Ching", "Eternal Peace Sutra", "Beidou Zhen Jing", "Yin Fu Jing", "Jade Emperor Sutra", "Taiping Jing", etc.
.
The second row contains annotations, examinations, annotations, and some miscellaneous materials on various classics. They are divided into text categories, magic runes, jade formulas, spiritual diagrams, genealogy, precepts, and rituals.
Methods, techniques, biographies, praises, chapters, etc.
Mingyue is lazy by nature, and these classics are also the basic books of Taoism. He doesn't have much interest in them and just reads them casually.
When he saw the third row, his eyes suddenly lit up.
The books in the third row are "Five Thunder Palm", "Anti-Five Thunder Palm", "Heavenly Thunder Talisman", "Ice Heart Talisman", "True Flame Talisman", "Purifying Clothes Talisman", and "Ghost Expelling Talisman".
These are all kinds of skills of Tianshi Dao. Some are beginner skills, such as the Pure Clothes Talisman, the Ice Heart Talisman, etc., and some can only be practiced by disciples who have been practicing for decades, such as the Anti-Five Thunder Palm and the Heavenly Thunder Talisman.
etc.
When she looked at the fourth row of books again, Mingyue's eyes widened.
"Zhengyi Ghost Control Technique", "Five Elements Great Escape", "Pure Yang Wuji Talisman", "Nine-Nine Xuanji Palm"...
Seeing these names, Mingyue's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. He had heard the names of these techniques, but none of the brothers around him knew them. Even his own master Zhang Lingxu probably didn't know many. Only the members of the sect knew it.
Those elders who are hundreds of years old and have profound cultivation are probably only proficient in these spells.
"Could this be the sect's secret Buddhist Scripture Pavilion?" Mingyue thought in her heart. Tianshi Dao covers a vast area, and even Mingyue couldn't tell how many houses there are, and how many front and back halls there are. The Buddhist Scripture Pavilion on the bright side
There are three of them. As long as they are disciples of the Celestial Master Dao, they can go in and borrow them. They basically contain Taoist treasures and basic exercises. There are absolutely no high-grade spells like the Zhengyi Ghost Control Technique.
"Huh?" When she reached the end of a bookcase, Mingyue suddenly stopped.
Although he was not strong, he served Zhang Lingxu constantly. When Zhang Lingxu was in a good mood, he would also give him some tips. Mingyue's spiritual consciousness was very amazing, and he felt keenly that there seemed to be someone behind the bookcase.
"Which uncle or uncle is it?" he asked in a trembling voice. A disciple of his own level had no idea where the Scripture-Depository Pavilion was. Those who could come in must be people with higher status in the sect.
But after waiting for a while, no one responded, and Mingyue suddenly became suspicious. If she was really an elder in the sect, she would definitely not hide her head and hide her tail like this.
"Could it be a little thief from outside?" Thinking of this, Mingyue was furious, "Who dares to come to Tianshi Dao to steal things! Eat my sword!"
He pulled out the sword from his waist and slashed it at the bookcase. This sword was given by Zhang Lingxu when he threw it at Zhang Lingxu's door. Although it was not a magic weapon, it was quite sharp. With the blessing of Mingyue Zhenqi,
, the sword body was shrouded in a faint green light.
There was a loud "clang" sound, and a thin golden light suddenly flew out from behind the bookcase, blocking Mingyue's sword.
The origin of that golden light was unknown. It was so powerful and heavy that Mingyue's murderous sword was not only blocked, but the huge backlash also made Mingyue's mouth numb, and the sword in his hand almost fell to the ground.
Mingyue was shocked and retreated quickly.
A black shadow flashed out from behind the bookcase, and slapped Ming Yue with two palms. Ming Yue instinctively tried to block it, but who knew that these two palms were a false move. The black shadow deceived Ming Yue, and with a sway of footsteps, he flashed past Ming Yue, hurriedly
He hurriedly ran towards the entrance of the passage.
Seeing that Heiying did not fight with her, Mingyue understood that she had been deceived. Then she saw that Heiying's attacks and movements were not very strong, so it was obvious that his strength was not that good, and he felt full of confidence in his heart.
He straightened his sword and stabbed the black shadow in the back with the "Pingsha Luoyan" move. The black shadow flicked back, and a small white wax pill exploded in the air, forming a pink mist.
The pink mist instantly blocked Ming Yue's sight. The mist was a bit sweet, and Ming Yue's head felt slightly dizzy after smelling it.
"Oops, poisonous!" He was shocked, but he remained calm in the face of danger. With a shake of his hands, two light blue talismans flew out of his sleeves and turned into a ball of blue ice mist to protect himself.
This is the "Ice Heart Talisman" of Tianshi Dao, which has the effect of detoxifying and calming the mind.
After the Ice Heart Talisman is cast, the dizziness and spinning sensation disappear immediately.
A "buzz buzz" sound similar to the flapping of bees' wings came from the red mist, and dozens of golden bees rained down on the bright moon.
"Ouch!" Mingyue blocked several blows with her sword, and her butt, thighs, and arms were stung several times by bees.
He felt like the world was spinning and couldn't hold on any longer, so he fell to the ground.
I don’t know how long it took, but the bright moon woke up. The mysterious man had already disappeared without a trace, leaving only the dozens of bees that stung him on the ground.
"Huh?" He picked up a bee and took a closer look. He was shocked. These bees were not real, but made of machines!
These bees seem to be made of gold and iron, with a metallic luster all over their bodies. The workmanship is extremely exquisite, they are the same size as ordinary bees, and their flight path is similar to that of real bees. Each mechanism bee has a thin stick on its butt.
The golden needles were shining with a faint blue light, and they were obviously filled with poison. However, it seemed that the poison was not too strong, otherwise Ming Yue would not have fainted.
Mingyue secretly rejoiced, and doubts arose in her heart. "There are many ways to practice Taoism in the world, but I have never heard of which sect is good at the art of mechanism? Judging from the mechanism bees, that person's level of the art of mechanism is very high. Who could it be?"
"
He thought for a long time and suddenly remembered someone.
The master of mechanism in ancient times, Gongshu Ban, was also called Lu Ban.
Lu Ban is regarded as the ancestor of craftsmen all over the world. His hands are so skillful that he created the saws, drills, planes, shovels, rulers, and ink fountains used by carpenters all over the world.
He once built a mechanical wooden bird that flew high into the sky with the help of wind and did not land for three days and three nights. He also built a wooden carriage that was driven by a wooden man and could walk automatically.
Everyone in the world knows these legends about Lu Ban, but what the world doesn't know is that Lu Ban was also a great warlock. He was extremely talented and had profound cultivation. When he was young, he had an adventure in the mountains and realized a magical power. The skills he created were extraordinary.
It belongs to any sect in the world, whether it is Buddhism or Taoism, and there are many weird and magical techniques in it.
Before Lu Ban became an emperor, he compiled what he had learned throughout his life into a book called "The Book of Lu Ban", also known as "The Missing One", which means that this book violates the taboos of heaven and earth, and those who learn the magic in it will definitely not be able to live a good life.
Perfect. The first volume of "Missing One Door" is about various mechanical techniques, including not only the manufacturing of daily necessities, but also the manufacturing methods of various powerful weapons. The second volume of "Missing One Door" is about various magical spells.
, with the help of these spells, it is said that one can ascend to heaven and earth and drive ghosts and gods away.
Since "The Missing Door" was written, it has been robbed by countless people. However, not long after each owner obtained it, he was hunted down and hacked to death by another person. In the past few decades, it has had hundreds of owners, but no one has.
A master had time to practice all the spells in it. Later, some people spread the rumor that "The Missing One" was a magic spell that would harm the master. Coupled with frequent wars, the book gradually disappeared into obscurity.
However, although no one can practice them all, some of the spells in "Missing One" are still spread. After these spells spread to thousands of small islands in the southeastern waters of Nanfang Prefecture, the local indigenous residents used the spells in them to
, and then combined their local ancient witchcraft and some spells from Maoshan Road to create a unique spell called "Gu Shu".
There are some carpenters in the world who have learned the sporadic spells in "Missing One". Although they don't have great magical powers, it is still not a problem to cause stomachache, vomiting and diarrhea, and sleepless nights. Therefore, the people of Nanfangbu Prefecture have great respect for carpenters.
He was very respectful, for fear of offending the carpenter, who would use the spell in "The Missing Door" to retaliate.
"Did that person get Lu Ban's book? Otherwise, he would definitely not be able to create such a beautiful machine bee."
Mingyue thought about it and felt that her idea was right. However, the man who just acted was not ruthless. He just wanted to escape and had no intention of taking his own life.
The young man in Mingyue was in a good mood and stopped thinking about things he couldn't figure out. After resting for a while and regaining his mood, he turned his attention to the bookshelf in the main hall.
After thinking for a while, he jumped up and took down the book "Zhengyi's Art of Expelling Ghosts".
Opening this book, Ming Yue felt great joy. The content of this book is about how to make the underworld's evil soldiers, ghost soldiers, bull heads and horse faces, black and white impermanence, etc. work for you.
Among the three great sects, Tianshi Tao is famous for its talismans, and Maoshan Tao is good at exorcising ghosts and divine spells. People in the world think that driving ghosts and gods is the specialty of Maoshan Taoist priests, but they don't know that Tianshi Tao also has such profound magic.
Sandwiched in the "Zhengyi Exorcism of Ghosts", there is also a black token with the words "Zhengyi Exorcism of Ghosts" written on it.
Mingyue looked at it for a long time, feeling itchy and touched the "Zhengyi Exorcism Order" over and over with her hands.
"Let me give it a try. Does the formula recorded in this book work?"
As soon as this idea came up, he could no longer suppress it. With trembling hands, he turned the book to the page of "Driving the Impermanence of Black and White, the Method of Bull Head and Horse Face", and calmed down.
According to the records in the book, Mingyue bit her fingertips, poured her blood on the "Zhengyi Exorcism Order", and read aloud, "Secretary of the Underworld, listen to my order, use my blood to attract demons and evil spirits from all directions.
Spirits, gather together quickly! Be as hasty as the law!"
After this mantra was recited, a dark wind suddenly blew up in the splendid hall. In the wind there were sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling, mixed with weird laughter, the clanking of iron chains and ropes, and the shouts of countless evil ghosts. It seemed like a passage between the Yin and Yang worlds.
was opened.
The luminous pearls in the main hall also lost their effect, and the dark wind swept across, blowing all kinds of Taoist scriptures all over the sky. The whole main hall was groggy, as if it had been moved to the ghost world.
Mingyue was frightened and the "Zhengyi Exorcism Order" in her hand fell to the ground.
In the dark wind, hundreds of black and white figures with bull heads and horse faces walked out. The leader had a face as black as coal, a slender figure, and held a shining sword in his hand.
The main hall was occupied by these hundreds of black and white people, and it immediately became full.
Mingyue looked at this posture and was frightened. He sat on the ground with his mouth open, not knowing what to say.
The black coal-like young man glanced around, then looked at Mingyue sitting on the ground, and seemed to understand the situation.
He shouted sharply, "I am Wang Yan, the commander-in-chief of the Nine Heavens and Nine Tribes of the Underworld! You brat, you summoned me and the five hundred soul restrainers under me. What's going on? If you can't tell me something,
Two or three, we will demolish your Longhu Mountain!" dd
