It turned out that Shen Gongbao learned the news: Yang Jian went to Yuwu Cave in Jinting Mountain and Feiyun Cave in Jialong Mountain to plead guilty for the deaths of Wei Hu and Tu Xingsun. Dao Xing Tianzun and Wei Liusun were both shocked and hated, and they met the visiting Chi Jing. , agreed to come together to Sanshanguan to find Xiaoyaozi to settle accounts. Shen Gongbao thought that he was responsible for Xiaoyaozi, so he went to Jin'ao Island to report the news and asked Jiutianjun to come to help.
Due to the Star-Shattering Cone incident, Shen Gongbao had completely broken up with Jiutianjun. This time when he went to Jin'ao Island to report the news, he was inevitably treated with cold eyes. But in any case, Shen Gongbao finally passed the news to Jiutianjun and others. At that time, Hanzhi At the critical moment when the immortal was refining elixir behind closed doors, the seclusion practice of the female demon had not yet ended. When the little Loli heard that her brother was in danger, she clamored to come. However, Lord Jiutian knew that teaching Jin Xian was not a trivial matter, so he immediately asked Fairy Caiyun to persuade Yunfan to stay. , let her accompany Zhang Qing'er, and the nine of them came to help.
Zhang Zixing mentioned Shen Gongbao and was silent for a long time. He couldn't help but sigh to himself: No matter what, Shen Gongbao is a chess piece controlled by Yuanshi Tianzun. In the original book, although Shen Gongbao betrayed the Chanjiao, he looked for helpers everywhere to deal with Jiang Ziya, and they were basically all Jiejiao. As a result, most of these people were on the list of gods. In fact, Shen Gongbao promoted the demise of Jiejiao from another angle. Perhaps, without knowing it himself, he fell into the plan of Yuanshi Tianzun.
The arrival of Jiutian Lord this time indeed relieved him of the temporary crisis, but the subsequent agreement with the Ten Jue Formations gave Zhang Zixing a headache. This was a dead agreement! The power of those well-known golden immortals who explained the teachings definitely lies with Jiutian Lord Above that, he has personally seen the power of the Ten Jue Formations. It may pose a certain threat to the Golden Immortal of Chanjiao, but the chance of winning is low. If Chanjiao uses the "substitute death" in the original book Tactics, I'm afraid Jiutian Lord is lifeless.
However, now that the two sides have agreed to fight, there is no way to go back on it. Unless Jiutianjun is willing to abandon all dignity and honor and bear the reputation of a coward forever, for people like Jiutianjun, it is better to die than to do anything. of.
Zhang Zixing got to know this Jiutian Lord and felt that they got along very well. Last time, he advised the immortals to stay in seclusion on Jin'ao Island to avoid getting involved in the killings. Unexpectedly, now it was because of him that he had to repeat the events of the Ten Jue Formations in the original work. Is it really God’s will?
He has Jiuding to protect him and a wooden figure given by the leader of Tongtian. When necessary, he can also use the "Great Summoning Technique" to summon the boss of the Eight Scenery Palace. He will be safe by then, but Jiutian Lord is extremely dangerous. I'm afraid There is also the risk of death.
However, Zhang Zixing racked his brains and couldn't think of an effective way to help Jiutianjun survive this crisis, and he couldn't help but feel anxious.
Lord Jiutian saw his worried look and asked why, but he didn't think so, saying that life and death depended on destiny. Moreover, the Ten Jue Formation was mysterious and powerful, especially his Illusion Demon Formation, which should be comparable to Guangchengzi and Akejie. A first-class golden immortal. In this invitation to fight, it is still unknown who will win or lose. Even if there is life or death, it is determined by the fate of heaven, so there is no need to worry about it.
Zhang Zixing nodded, and on the surface he was having a drink with Jiutianjun, but in his heart he was thinking hard about how to deal with it.
On the next day, when Jiutianjun and Zhang Zixing were setting up the Ten Jue Formation outside Sanshan Pass, news came from the Confederate Army's detailed operations that Yang Jian and Lei Zhenzi had supervised the construction of canopies, placed banquet halls, and hung colorful flowers beside the Confederate Army camp. Zhang Zixing knew that he must be welcoming important people, and Chi Jingjing and others must have been inviting fellow disciples to come and break the formation.
The five-day period was coming in a blink of an eye, and the completed Ten Jue Formation welcomed the immortals who came to break the formation. The leader was none other than the Randen Taoist from Yuanjue Cave in Lingjiu Mountain. To Zhang Zixing's surprise, he and the
Ran Deng was accompanied by not only the Golden Immortals such as Chi Jingjing and Daode Zhenjun, but also three Taoists with unfathomable cultivation.
Among the three people, Zhang Zixing knew two of them, one was Zhenren Du'e from West Kunlun, and the other was Zhenren Taiwei. These two people were "acquaintances" when they were hunting for treasures in Daiyu Fairy Mountain, and the other one was
I can't see the specific realm yet, but at least it is the lower level of Xuanxian. Master Du'e is at the peak of the lower level of Xuanxian, and Kong Xuan once said back then that Master Taiwei is close to the peak of the middle level of Xuanxian.
Realm!
Zhang Zixing's heart suddenly sank. Originally, his own strength was at a disadvantage. Now if these three Xuanxian were added to the mix, the entire army would be destroyed!
As Zhang Zixing and Jiutian Lord stepped forward to meet him, his thoughts were racing and he was thinking about countermeasures. After the two sides stood still, Zhang Zixing took the lead in stepping out and said to Taoist Ran Deng: "Today, I, Lord Ten Heavenly Lord, have specially set up the Ten Jue Formation to communicate with you all.
Let’s compete with fellow Taoists... But please forgive me for my poor eyesight. I wonder which of these three fellow Taoists are the three masters of your sect?”
Randeng Taoist is a scheming person. He could hear Xiaoyaozi bite the word "Chanjiao" very tightly. He understood what he meant. He looked at the three Xuanxian and said: "These three are poor Taoist friends, Master Xuanji."
, Master Taiwei, Master Due. I wanted to go to Yuxu Palace to pay homage to the saint of our religion, but I heard about the ten Jue Formations of my ten Taoist friends, so I came here to watch the ceremony."
As soon as these words came out, the three Taoists were secretly thinking about each other. On the surface, Ran Deng explained the three people's position of "observing the ceremony", but in fact, he pointed out the three people's intention to go to Yuxu Palace in public, explaining that
The three immortals are moving closer to the interpretation of the teachings. The three people's positions are undecided and are still in the "wait-and-see period." After Ran Deng Taoist's words were contradicted, they were unable to open their mouths to explain, and they remained calm on the surface.
When Zhang Zixing heard that these three Xuanxian were so close to Chanjiao, he frowned slightly: The strength of these three immortals is extraordinary. If they really join Chanjiao, I am afraid that Jiejiao will have to spend a lot more time fighting against them in the future.
hands and feet.
For now, we still have to consider how to overcome the difficulties of the Ten Jue Formation. However, the arrival of Taoist Ran Deng also proves that Yuanshi Tianzun will not come in person - it seems that this kind of "small formation" of the Jie Jiao side branch still has
If there is not enough labor, the "master" will come out.
Zhang Zixing asked: "Today's meeting, it is a blessing to be able to meet all the fellow Taoists and show off what I have learned. I wonder how fellow Taoist Ran Deng will compete?"
Taoist Randeng seemed to be surprised by his question and said: "Ten fellow Taoists have set up an array, and we have sent people to take turns breaking into the array to find a way to break it. This battle will only last for days. If there are any casualties, please be safe."
It is destiny not to take revenge privately outside the battle array."
Zhang Zixing looked at some of the low-level people behind Taoist Ran Deng, and knew that Taoist Ran Deng had the same evil idea as in the original work: to send people to sacrifice the formation first, to release the murderous intent in the formation, and secondly to enable the others to explore the formation.
Determine the reality and reality, and then use targeted means to break the formation.
How could Zhang Zixing, who knew the original work very well, fall into Ran Deng's plan? He had originally agreed with Jiutianjun that he would negotiate with Chanjiao first, and then fight. He shook his head and said: "It's inappropriate to be so big.
, if the battle is not broken for a while, then people will be sent there again and again, just like the shafts of a chariot. How can the people who set up the formation resist this 'wheel battle'? In my opinion, it is limited to ten rounds, and one round is considered one round.
At the end of the round, no matter whether it is broken or not, this formation cannot be used. Once the ten rounds are over, the contest will be terminated. Life and death will be dealt with by each of them, and no revenge will be sought. This will prevent your sect from using the crowd to bully the few and rely on force to bully the few.
The reputation of being weak will not make the three fellow Taoists Du'e laugh at you."
Ran Deng saw that he had used the three people of Du'e as a shield, and secretly thought that this person was cunning. But if Xiaoyaozi's method was really followed, the chance of winning would be greatly reduced without knowing the details of the opponent. He would send someone with too weak cultivation to go.
, is destined to die, even if the weakness of the formation can be detected, the people behind will not be able to enter the formation to break it; if they all send the golden immortal who is the most valued direct descendant of Yuanshi Tianzun to take the lead, the chance of winning will be much greater, but if there is a mistake,
I'm afraid I can't explain it to Yuanshi Tianzun. Moreover, this method puts the initiative in the hands of the other party, which is very uneconomical.
Taoist Ran Deng immediately expressed his opposition, saying that the formation method originally relied on external objects to gain an advantage. This method was very unfair to the party that broke the formation. Zhang Zixing said that the strength of the Chan Taoist was originally superior. If it was like what Ran Deng said before,
, Shi Tianjun would be at a huge disadvantage. If he sent a low-level person to die, and then sent a high-level person to break the formation, then there would be no need to set up the Shi Jue Formation, and everyone would simply disband.
Taoist Randeng did not expect that his intentions would be revealed by the other party. He became more wary of Xiaoyaozi, but his tone still refused to relax. So the two began to bargain, quarreling, and refusing to give in to each other. They watched for nine days.
Sir, all the immortals of Chanjiao, including the three Xuanxian, were dumbfounded - is this a physical contest, or is it verbal?
After all, it is not because this is an open fight, and the so-called sect's face must be paid attention to. If it is a no-man's land at this time, I am afraid that Zhang Zixing and Ran Deng Taoist would not waste their words, and would have used ruthless means.
Fight to the death and me to life.
Zhang Zixing had his own plan: Originally, he was in a weak position in the Ten Jue Formation. If possible, he even wanted to give up the gambling battle of the Ten Jue Formation to save the lives of the nine friends on Jin'ao Island. Of course, he also knew
, Immortals also have their own dignity and pride, sometimes even more than the value of life. Moreover, looking at it from another perspective, for these people on the list, life and death may be just a form of existence for them.
It's just a conversion, even though they don't know it.
It was precisely because of Jiutianjun's persistence that Zhang Zixing was unable to persuade them to give up the Ten Jue Formation. What he could do was to use the rules of battle as much as possible to tilt the balance of victory in his favor and try to protect the personal safety of these friends.
Master Xuanji on the side saw that the two of them seemed to have lost their minds and said with a smile: "The two fellow Taoists hold their own opinions and refuse to give in. I have a compromise method here, I wonder if it is feasible?"
Zhang Zixing noticed something. When Taoist Ran Deng introduced the three of them, he put Master Xuanji at the front, followed by Taiwei and Du'e. From this point of view, Master Xuanji's cultivation level is probably still in Taiwei.
Above!
Master Xuanji saw that everyone's eyes were focused on him and said: "I have a little magic weapon, which was originally used to have fun when I had nothing to do, but now it can solve the problem between your two families."
Xuanji Zhenren’s magic weapon consists of two golden hollow spheres connected together, which look somewhat similar to the shape of a scale. There is a small crystal ball in the middle. Each of the two spheres has a golden dragon circling and opening its mouth toward the sky. Xuanji Zhenren’s method is: both sides have their own way.
Decide on ten candidates, but not limited to ten games. Then Mana will engrave the names on ten gold beads and ten silver beads respectively, and place them in two spheres. This little magic weapon only needs to face the small crystal ball in the center.
Input a little fairy power, and the gold and silver beads can mix and flip quickly in the hollow spheres on both sides, and the clues cannot be seen from the outside. In the end, one gold and one silver bead flies out of the dragon's mouth, which is the candidate for the battle.
If one party fails and dies, the corresponding bead will be destroyed, and the winning party will still put it into the ball and continue the next round of competition. In other words, whether it is the Immortals of Chanjiao or the Ten Heavenly Lords of Jin'ao Island, they are allowed to play the formation repeatedly
, the premise is that they must win, and the two sides will continue to compete in this way until one side is completely eliminated.
As soon as this idea came up, most people on both sides felt that it was fair. Anyway, the formations were random, and they simply settled on their destiny. As for the elimination... the situation now is a life and death contest. Although the Taoist friends shouted politely, after a while,
Both sides must do their best to kill each other.
However, several wise men thought deeply and remained silent, especially Zhang Zixing: Xuanji Zhenren's method may seem fair, but it will plunge the two parties into a tragic situation that will never end until one party is completely dead. In the end, even if it is the winner, I'm afraid
It's also a heavy loss.
There is no character named Xuanji Zhenren in the original work. What is his origin? There is a vague meaning of "the more deaths on both sides, the better"?
Zhang Zixing pondered for a moment and said: "The magic weapon of Brother Xuanji is wonderful, and the method is also feasible. But in my opinion, it should be limited to ten rounds. Although this battle is not limited to life and death, it is also a battle of fate.
If someone gets a bye, it is due to luck. Once the ten rounds are over, the fight between the two sides will end and they will retreat without getting involved in mundane matters."
Taoist Randeng was also very concerned about Master Xuanji's method. Now that he heard Xiaoyaozi's suggestion, he agreed. Master Xuanji's expression did not change, but he took the initiative to ask for arbitration with Master Taiwei and Master Du'e, and took the
Take out the magic weapon, distribute the gold and silver beads to both sides, and select the candidates.
Zhang Zixing had already decided to choose Ten Heavenly Lords, so he immediately engraved his name on the silver bead with immortal power and handed it over to Master Xuanji. As for Chanjiao, Ran Deng struggled a lot and finally decided.
, hand over the gold beads with your names engraved on them.
Master Xuanji glanced at the names of both parties, nodded, and put ten beads on each side. To show fairness, Master Xuanji asked both parties to check and test the "lottery instrument", and asked Zhang Zixing and Taoist Ran Deng as the
Representatives from both parties were on hand to supervise the drawing of lots.
After everything was prepared, the competition officially began. Master Xuanji pointed at the crystal ball, and the twenty beads inside began to tumble in disorder, and finally a bead popped out from both sides of the dragon's mouth at the same time.
