Donghuang Ziji

Chapter 319: War is about to begin

A few days later, Taoist Cang Xuan and Madam Mo Zhi, who had been away, returned one after another.

The two brought back three monks, one woman and two men. What’s interesting is that the man and the woman who came to help knew each other.

The girl in the yellow fairy dress looked at the handsome boy in front of her, who had a round face, red lips and looked like a boy with a feminine appearance, and asked in surprise, "Lingshu? Why are you here?"

The young man was also very surprised, but when he looked at the girl, he quickly pretended to have expected it and said with a smile: "I thought something interesting would happen this time, but I didn't expect it to be you."

"Come on, if it's Qian Yuan or Xun Ling, I still believe them. But as for you, have you completed the "Taishang Yuxiao Subduing Demon Secret Scroll"? You can also deduce divination and sense the secrets of heaven... When did your divination skills surpass mine?"

While the two were joking with each other, they were also exchanging information. Mo Ruo and Cang Xuan, who brought them back, were also a little curious.

Taoist Cang Xuan asked Ling Shu: "Daoyou, is this your good friend?"

"Not friends, but fellow practitioners similar to the five of you. However, the eight of us are not based on the five elements, but on the eight trigrams. I occupy the Zhen position, Huang Qiong occupies the Kun position, and fellow Daoist Xun Ling occupies the Xun position."

While Lingshu was explaining, Chu Tai was also communicating with the remaining person.

This is a young man holding a whisk with tortoise and snake patterns. Starlight is dancing on him, and black and white air are dancing on the whisk. He is surrounded by auspicious aura. Chu Tai stepped forward and bowed: "Friend Chunyi, long time no see."

This person was none other than the Taoist priest Chun Yi whom Chu Tai had met shortly after he entered the Central Plains. At this moment, the black and white mysterious light on his body, which was invisible to the naked eye, was even brighter than before. The phantom of the tortoise and snake had more charm, and the red-robed and golden-armored deity transformed by the auspicious aura of blessings and virtues also had some traces of the Seven Northern Stars. The overall aura had a hint of the charm of the Purple Sky Palace.

"It turns out to be Senior Taining. It's been a long time since we last met. I never thought I would see you here today."

Taoist Chunyi made hand gestures in return, and Chu Tai waved his hands and said, "Come on, I told you last time that I am not worthy of the title of senior."

After that, he asked curiously, "Why are you here?"

"After I separated from my fellow Taoists that day, I met another kind-hearted senior who was in seclusion in the mountains. I helped him collect some materials, and he taught me a few methods of the Beiyin and Qixing lineages to help me perfect the Rengui Zhiling Ruiying Zhenqi. Then, the senior told me some time ago that his family was unfortunate and a bad person had appeared. He hoped that I could help persuade him, and if that didn't work, I could help him clean up the family."

Chu Tai nodded upon hearing this, and probably guessed that Chunyi was favored by a senior from Zixiao Palace, and that the purpose of his visit should be Taoist Qinglu. It was difficult for him to answer this news, so he did not continue to ask.

However, Junyi seemed to trust Chu Tai very much. Even though he didn't continue asking, he couldn't help but complain to him.

"Just a few days ago, when I was observing the stars, I was surprised to find that the junior of that senior seemed to have died. At that time, I didn't know whether I should go back and inform the senior about this matter first, or help his junior collect the body first."

"Then, after I was struggling, I happened to meet Daoist Huang Qiong. She is also a good person and has helped me a lot..."

Chu Tai listened quietly, and at the suggestion of Taoist Mu Jing, he took Chunyi inside to rest.

The next day, the Goddess of Pure Light came on a cloud, and everyone exchanged greetings again. Finally, the owner of this place, Taoist Mu Jing, began to explain his recent experiences and new ideas.

"Fellow Daoist Mu Jing, what you mean is that you five scattered people need to borrow the calamity of fellow Daoist Zhengyang to polish your own foundation and purify your own Yuan Qi. During this period, you are worried that problems will arise here, and hope that we can help protect the earth veins and water veins to prevent accidents?"

The last to arrive, the Goddess of Pure Light, briefly summarized it, and Taoist Cang Xuan responded: "This is one of our main goals. Later, we hope that several Taoist friends can help suppress the earth veins this time to prevent Hong Yue, the demon, from performing a blood sacrifice on all living beings here." Chu Tai, who was standing next to him, added: "According to our understanding of Hong Yue, he seems to have some ability to observe the changes in the earth veins remotely. So once the Five Scattered People start to purify their true qi, he may send people to stop, interfere, and destroy them. At the same time, we must also prevent him from performing blood sacrifices in other places while the Five Scattered People are transforming, polluting the earth veins and destroying the balance."

"When the time comes, I'll trouble you, Daoist Fellow Jingguang, to protect the people here, just in case. I'll travel quickly and pay attention to the changes in the ground veins, while Daoists Chunyi, Lingshu and Huangqiong will protect the five scattered people."

Upon hearing this, the Goddess of Pure Light nodded. This was also one of the reasons why she was willing to come here this time.

Huang Qiong, Lingshu and Chunyi, who arrived here earlier, also listened to the plan of the Five Wanderers for the first time. The three did not raise any objections. Instead, they gave many reasonable improvement methods to repair the surrounding land and water veins more perfectly.

Especially Huang Qiong, whose method of practice is called "Kun Ling Hou De Yan Shan Chu Yue Du Miao Jing", and he is good at earth and wood, and follows the way of the earth. The Kun Ling Hou De Li Zhen Qi he condensed is a rare kind of true Qi in the sky, which shares the same name for the fourth and fifth grades.

The transformation of her true Qi only focuses on the compatibility with the earth veins and the repair and nourishment of the earth veins. Therefore, she quickly optimized Taoist Mu Jing's methods of repairing and managing the land near Baishi River, making the vitality of this land more abundant.

During this period, Junyi also arranged some interesting formations, placing them between towns and rice fields to create a very wonderful pattern.

The Goddess of Pure Light had a special discussion with him about this and added some new things to his arrangement.

During this process, Chu Tai also observed the deficiencies and loopholes in the arrangement, and at the same time communicated with several people what he had learned, gathering what everyone had learned from practice, and improving his own foundation.

Three days later, after the few people had placed all the things they needed to arrange one by one, Taoist Mu Jing also completed the construction of the Liang Yi Five Elements Altar. The five scattered people each took their positions and began to hone their true Qi magic power.

Rays of five-colored light rose up, and Taiyi Erxiang stood in a circle in the center, circulating the yin and yang energies to help the five scattered people sort out the changes in their magic power.

Chu Tai narrowed his eyes slightly, the light of the sun and the moon turned, and "fate" gathered together. The ability of geomancy and qi was brought to the extreme to prevent any possible changes in the earth veins.

"coming!"

Chu Tai and Jinguang Tiannv spoke at the same time, and the three people guarding the altar took action one after another.

Chunyi released a silver-white mirror, on which the Big Dipper rotated, dropping a silver light that illuminated all directions and prevented outsiders from sneaking in.

Lingshu offered up a jade order, and five lightning bolts emerged from all around it, interweaving with each other to form a thundercloud that enveloped the surroundings. Electric arcs of various colors stirred and entangled in it, making crackling sounds.

Huang Qiong took out a khaki-colored sword that was a line taller than herself, and swung it lightly in her hand. Yellow rays of light danced, forming illusory shadows of mountains and rivers, slightly affecting the changes in the surrounding earth veins and energy, and obscuring the aura of the place.

The Goddess of Pure Light also took out a wonderful pipa, held it in her hand, and gently plucked the strings with her fingers. Faint sound waves emerged, and after spreading to a certain range, they came into contact with other spiritual inspirations. After being stimulated, they manifested invisible high-frequency vibrations, stirring the vital energy and emitting a pleasant sound, exposing the newcomer.

"What a good sonic tracking technique..."

As the man opened his mouth, he also released dozens of crystal gravel as big as rice grains, which hit Chu Tai and his companions.
