Catching Monsters

Chapter 155 Let’s start
Everyone present was shocked by the results of the first round of discussion.

Those who were not familiar with Jiang Yun were stunned. How could a registered disciple wearing a gray Taoist robe defeat Xiao Jingqi from Baiyun Temple and Chen Xuzi from Qingfeng Temple?

What is the origin of this guy?
At this time, many people who were unfamiliar with Jiang Yun couldn't help but ask the people around them who this guy was.

It would have been fine if I hadn't asked, but once I did, I was stunned. Someone had heard from someone at Baiyun Temple...

This guy is actually a Jinyiwei of the Dongzhenfusi?

Not only the Jinyiwei, but not long ago, they even arrested many Taoists from Baiyun Temple and threw them into the imperial prison.

People who were familiar with Jiang Yun, such as the Zhenguo family and Jiang Qiaoqiao, were already happily showing off.

Jiang Qiaoqiao's face was red, and she didn't care whether she knew the dignitary sitting next to her or not. She blinked and said, "Do you know Jiang Yun who won just now?"

Sitting next to her was a lady from a noble family dressed in luxurious clothes, who kept shaking her head.

Jiang Qiaoqiao said happily: "That's my brother, my real brother."

In fact, Jiang Qiaoqiao didn’t know the meaning of the conference, nor did she know whether winning would bring any benefits.

But seeing my brother win makes me happy.

Tao Yuelan next to her had even started popping champagne at halftime.

She was really happy. The more outstanding Jiang Yun was, the more it proved that her judgment was correct.

Because she didn’t know much about the two people that Jiang Yun defeated, Chen Xuzi, but the Sixth Prince could be considered a child of destiny.

Tao Yuelan whispered to Xu Xiaogang beside her: "Xiaogang, go back and tell Uncle Wu to immediately invite a drum team over. When Jiang Yun wins, immediately beat the gongs and drums at the entrance of Qingfeng Temple to celebrate."

"Buy some more firecrackers and fireworks."

"Spend some extra money, and this will be the headline of tomorrow's Beijing News."

Xu Xiaogang didn't think much about it, and nodded in agreement. He was about to leave, but Xu Suwen hurriedly stopped him and said, "It's not appropriate for us to beat drums and gongs at a Taoist conference."

"What's inappropriate?"

Xu Suwen said in a deep voice: "The magic competition hasn't started yet. It's still a question whether Jiang Yun can win."

"Chen Xuzi and Xiao Jingqi are both powerful Taoist fifth-rank guardians."

"Jiang Yun has just reached the sixth level of the Taoist inner alchemy realm."

Hearing this, Tao Yuelan's originally happy mood suddenly sank a little. Although she was not a cultivator, as the wife of a duke, she certainly knew that the gap between the sixth rank and the fifth rank was enormous.

Tao Yuelan couldn't help but mutter: "This is too unfair. Letting a fifth-rank Guardian Realm compare with our Jiang Yun, isn't this bullying..."

Xu Xiaogang didn't think so. He had seen the power of Jiang Yun's magic, and couldn't help but think to himself, who is bullying whom, it's really hard to say...

Soon, half an hour passed.

The two Heavenly Masters, Qingyangzi and Lingguzi, walked out from the rest hall.

After returning to the platform, Ling Guzi slowly opened his mouth and said, "Today's second magic competition."

"The magic technique we're competing for this year is to summon the gods."

"The rules are very simple. Each of the three of you will invite a Dao Master. Whoever invites the most powerful Dao Master will win."

After hearing this, naturally, no one present had any objection to this.

Summoning gods is one of the oldest Taoist techniques.

Its purpose is not simply to test the Taoist's strength.

It is the belief in Tao Zun.

The more faith you have in the Taoist Master, the stronger the power you can invoke.

Soon, Chen Xuzi took the lead and saluted the two Heavenly Masters respectfully. Then he sat cross-legged on the ground, took a deep breath, and slowly chanted: "Disciple sincerely invites the Dao Master to descend, show himself, and show his infinite Dao power."

After finishing reading, he clasped his hands together and slowly raised them up.

He clenched his teeth slightly, sweat dripping down his forehead, and then a blurry shadow about one meter high appeared above him.

Although it was blurry, one could vaguely see the appearance of the Dao Master, and a great aura of Dao was slowly spreading.

There are two types of praying to gods.

One is to ask the gods to possess the body, similar to the disciples of Jiang Yun in his previous life, and the technical content is not too high.

As for this method, it was to directly invite the gods to appear. Even a fifth-grade Guardian Realm cultivator could only perform it with difficulty, and it was extremely strenuous.

In just two breaths, the shadow of the Taoist Master disappeared. Chen Xuzi also gasped heavily, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and respectfully saluted the two Heavenly Masters.

Qingyangzi and Lingguzi looked at each other and nodded slightly.

Among them, Qing Yangzi also commented: "Not bad, although the figure of the Taoist priest we invited is blurry, he still has a complete outline, which is not easy."

After hearing Qing Yangzi's comments, Chen Xuzi accepted them humbly and said, "My skills are poor, please forgive me, the two Heavenly Masters."

After listening, Chen Xuzi stepped down from the stage respectfully.

Soon, Xiao Jingqi walked slowly onto the stage with a sullen face. He couldn't help but glance at Jiang Yun who was in the audience.

He felt somewhat unwilling in his heart. He had been tricked by this guy when they were discussing the Dao just now. His mind was in chaos, and that was how he gave this guy the opportunity to take advantage of him and defeat him.

But in this battle of magic, there is no way I can lose to him.

He also crossed his legs, took a deep breath, and slowly chanted: "Disciple sincerely requests that the Dao Master descend upon you, show yourself, and show your infinite Dao power."

After reading it, many people who were not as strong as Xiao Jingqi felt a strong sense of oppression. A three-meter-tall Taoist statue suddenly appeared on the scene.

This phantom statue is clearer than the one Chen Xuzi invited.

Seeing this, Qingyangzi couldn't help but look at Lingguzi beside him with envy, and said with emotion: "Brother Linggu, it is a blessing for Baiyun Temple to have the Sixth Prince join. The hope of our Taoist sect's rise lies in the Sixth Prince."

Even if we ignore Xiao Jingqi's noble royal status, his talent in Taoism can still be considered second to none.

At the age of early twenties, he can reach the fifth-grade Shouyi realm. As long as he does not encounter any inner demons in the future, he can be said to be able to become a third-grade great master in the near future.

Nowadays when Taoism is declining, Baiyun Temple is still able to receive such a genius. How can we not envy it?
Coupled with the Sixth Prince's royal status, maybe he can really lift the shackles on Taoism and make Taoism great again.

Ling Guzi also had a look of relief on his face. He nodded slowly and said, "The rise of the Dao Sect cannot be accomplished by one person alone. It requires the concerted efforts of everyone."

After the phantom disappeared, Xiao Jingqi did not look as embarrassed as Chen Xuzi. Instead, he steadied himself, saluted respectfully to the two heavenly masters, and then slowly stepped down from the stage.

After sitting on the chair, I felt a little exhausted and tired.

"call."

He took a deep breath and looked at Master Bai Chen beside him.

Master Bai Chen's eyes were filled with satisfaction. He gently patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry. In the fifth-grade Guarding One Realm, the power of the Daozun statue you can invite is already quite impressive."

"Jiang Yun definitely can't invite such a powerful Taoist statue."

Many of the dignitaries who were watching the fun in the back also began to discuss in low voices.

Although most of the dignitaries who came were wives and daughters of powerful families, they came purely to watch the fun.

But no one thought that Jiang Yun, who was wearing a gray robe, could be more powerful than Xiao Jingqi.

Xu Suwen couldn't help but frown at this moment. Tao Yuelan, who was standing beside her, was optimistic and asked her curiously, "It's only three meters high. Can Jiang Yun invite a taller statue?"

Xu Suwen shook his head slightly and said in a deep voice: "It's difficult. Jiang Yun's mana is only at the sixth level of Inner Alchemy after all. He relies purely on the mana in his body..."

Tao Yuelan frowned slightly when she heard this.

In the distance, Xuan Daozi, who was sitting next to Jiang Yun, also frowned. If Jiang Yun just invited some unconventional gods, how could they compare with the Taoist Master?

He turned his head and saw that Jiang Yun was fiddling with a bunch of things in his backpack.

"What are you doing?"

Jiang Yun said in a deep voice: "Of course, we need to prepare the formation..."

If I really have to ask the three ancestors for help, wouldn't I be sucked dry by relying on the meager magic power in my body?
"Wait, then."

Jiang Yun, carrying his backpack, quickly jumped onto the platform and said to the two Heavenly Masters with a smile, "Two Heavenly Masters, my magic power is only at the sixth level of Inner Alchemy. I am relying purely on my cultivation to summon the gods, so I am afraid I am at a disadvantage."

"I wonder if I can set up a formation to summon the gods?"

The two Heavenly Masters looked at each other, Ling Guzi frowned slightly, and said slowly: "The rules are only to invite the gods, not to prohibit the formation."

In fact, in the eyes of the two Heavenly Masters, there is not much difference between setting up a formation or not.

Whether the power of the gods is strong enough depends on whether the person who invites the gods has enough faith.

The second is whether the invited gods are powerful enough.

in short.

Because Chen Xuzi and Xiao Jingqi were both invited Taoist masters.

Therefore, the difference in strength between the two invited Taoist priests is also reflected in the cultivation of the two people themselves.

Ling Guzi knew very well that Jiang Yun had little chance of winning.

Because this kid practices unorthodox methods, even if we invite some wild gods, how can they compare with the Taoist Master?

In this case, even if Jiang Yun is a Taoist fourth-grade true person.

Please invite a wild god.

Its power is far inferior to that of Dao Zun.

After hearing the two people's answers, Jiang Yun had an idea in his mind.

Soon, Jiang Yun began to tinker on the platform.

First, a table was brought in and covered with yellow cloth, which was used as an altar.

Then, he placed the incense burner, peach wood sword, yellow bell, chime, token on it...

Then, the Three Pure Ones Banners were set up on the high platform.

"Two senior Heavenly Masters, why don't you two go down and sit for a while first..." Jiang Yun asked with a stiff face.

The two Heavenly Masters frowned slightly. What is this kid doing jumping up and down?

However, the two Heavenly Masters were calm after all and did not get angry. Instead, they stepped down from the stage.

Master Bai Chen looked at what Jiang Yun was doing on the stage and snorted coldly: "This kid, jumping up and down, fiddling with a lot of things, what's the use of that?"

After a busy period, the altar was finally set up.

Jiang Yun looked curiously at the two Heavenly Masters who had just sat down in the audience: "Two seniors, I am ready."

"Then let's get started."
