Swing the sword at the future female devil

Chapter 248 Zhang Zhiyao's Careful Scheme

A muffled thunder-like sound came from deep within the mountain gate, and the spiritual energy flowing between the seventy-two peaks suddenly condensed into substance, turning into blue-gold raindrops that fell to the ground.

"Today is the Jiazi day." Zhang Zhi raised her hand to catch a drop of spiritual rain. The water droplets blossomed into a translucent Bagua diagram in her palm. She said seriously, "The furnace in the alchemy room has been opened. Well, I'll bring some down to Sister Yang to eat later."

Duan Huaige smelled the faint bitter smell coming from the distant wind, and then she realized that the candy beans in the conversation between her and the young lady at the ticket office were actually the Nine-Transformation Golden Pill?

The jade steps rippled under his feet. Every time Duan Huaige took a step, the cinnabar spell dormant in the stone pattern would light up. It looked like he was climbing the steps to heaven. Translucent vines emerged from the cracks in the stone, entwined with hydrangeas that looked like broken jade and climbed up the Panlong Pillar. It was truly a scene of immortal style.

This was the first time that Duan Huaige saw a sect that practiced spiritual energy after its revival. It had to be said that only such a scene satisfied his fantasy about the world of spiritual energy practice.

It’s so cool before we even reach the mountain gate, wouldn’t it be even more awesome when we get to the main hall?
The mountain fog suddenly thickened, and the gnarled branches of an old pine tree pierced through the cloud barrier. The glass lamp hanging on the branch spewed out a faint blue flame. Duan Huaige stretched out his hand to touch the lamp wick, but the little Taoist priest slapped his wrist away and rolled his eyes at him:
"Can you touch this? Many years ago, the Taoist priest of Longhu Mountain enlightened a mandrill here. Its three souls are sealed in the lamp!"

Duan Huaige was slightly stunned, looking at the small words on the base of the glass lamp: made in CN, and immediately fell into deep thought...

This doesn't look like it's from Shang Zhou, it looks like it's from last week. Don't think I didn't see it... This base seems to be for batteries!
You call the electronic glass lamp a treasure that seals the three souls of the mandrill?
"What do you know?" Zhang Zhiyao seemed to see through Duan Huaige's eyes, and snorted coldly, "In the past, it was a glass lamp, and later it was replaced with this in response to the court's policy of forest fire prevention... Although it doesn't look as cool as before, the commemorative significance is still the same as before."

Seeing the little girl speaking so seriously, Duan Huaige withdrew his hand awkwardly, muttering in his heart, "This Xiao Deng talks so mysteriously, could he be lying to me?"

"My friend, you must be respectful. In the past, the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain walked the mortal world, slaying demons and monsters, and it became a legend. If there were no Heavenly Master, I don't know how many monsters and monsters would be rampant in the world."

The old Zen man put his hands together and spoke earnestly. The young Zen man next to him also bowed, as if to express his respect for the Heavenly Master.

Several people passed the electronic colored glass lamp that sealed the mandrill and soon arrived at the real gate of Longhu Mountain. On the plaque were three large gilded characters: Tianshi Mansion. The brushwork was vigorous and powerful. Two majestic stone lions stood at the gate. After noticing Zhang Zhiyao approaching, the two stone lions suddenly jumped down from the base, and the sound was like thunder:

"Welcome Senior Sister Yaoyao back to the mountain!"

"Very good." Zhang Zhiyao was very satisfied with the scene of his return to the mountain. He took out a few spirit stones from his storage bag and threw them to the two stone lions as if rewarding dogs.

Duan Huaige looked at the two spiritual stone lions with great interest. It was obvious that they were two puppet-like spiritual formations protecting the mountain. While the two stone lions were eating spiritual stones, the spiritual power flowed in the formation veins behind them, supplying the operation of the entire formation.

With just a few glances, the entire formation was built according to the mountain terrain, with the river spiritual veins underground, forming a self-contained system. Even if it was surrounded, it could hold out for a long time.

"Based on my knowledge of formations, it seems that there must be a master behind the gate of your Longhu Mountain." Duan Huaige said confidently.

"I didn't expect you to study battle formations." The Zen young man Xu Ming sighed. Another Zen old man, whose Dharma name was Kong Ren, also asked in surprise:
"Young friend, do you know the planner of this Longhu Mountain formation?" "Of course... I don't know him." Duan Huaige said seriously: "Anyway, I only know that his level is very high, as high as several floors."

"Tsk, you're just pretending!" The black-hearted little Taoist rolled his eyes at Duan Huaige in annoyance, glanced at the stone steps behind the mountain gate, suddenly raised his eyebrows and smiled a little.

"Alright, let's go. If we delay any longer, we might not be able to reach the Tianshi Mansion before dark."

As she spoke, she strode forward, followed by Zen Master Kong Ren and Xu Ming. Duan Huaige glanced at the stone lion reluctantly, thinking in her heart that one day she would also refine a similar spiritual puppet to protect her cave.

He did not notice that when they walked through the mountain gate, the pupils of the two stone lions suddenly flashed for a moment, and the dazzling golden light quickly disappeared.

Duan Huaige jogged after him, but after walking a few steps, his heart suddenly skipped a beat and he subconsciously dodged to the side.

Where he had just stepped, dense lightning patterns appeared on the surface of the bluestone, and dozens of black turtles as big as copper coins crawled out from the tortoise shell patterns, with the cloud seal of "Tian Gang Zhen Sha" engraved on their carapaces. Deep in the stone steps came the muffled sound of chains being dragged.

Nine iron chains as thick as bowls hung from the clouds, and the locks sizzled as they were immersed in the surging thunder pool. A purple thunder struck where he had just stood, and the charred fragments of the Huangting Sutra appeared on the jade steps. The golden scriptures seemed to have come to life, jumping out one by one and surrounding Duan Huaige, making it impossible for him to concentrate.

"Oh, how could Fellow Daoist Duan Huaige be so careless." The black-hearted little Taoist's eyes were filled with gloating, "How did you trigger the Prison-Locking Heart Chain? This thing is not easy to get rid of. Even I was chased and entangled for thirty-three steps before I could barely get rid of it..."

"How dare you say that? It's obvious that you framed me on purpose!"

Duan Huaige cursed angrily, and suddenly felt the blue bricks under his feet turned into a flowing Bagua formation, and the 72 Earthly Evil directions flickered with his breathing. Duan Huaige jumped to the Zhen position, and the bronze chain that emerged from the cracks in the blue bricks brushed against the soles of his boots, and the sound of the chain links colliding was like thunder.

"It was this Heavenly Master who did it, what can you do about it!" Zhang Zhiyao held his hands and said confidently, "You came to my territory, and you are still so high-profile, who else should I arrest if not you!"

"I advise you not to resist stubbornly, otherwise if you alert the uncle and master, you will suffer the consequences!"

Zhang Zhiyao said, then changed the subject, with a smile on his face, as if he was about to get his revenge: "Come on, call me Uncle Master Yaoyao, and I'll find someone to release you."

Duan Huaige silently clenched his fists, feeling the urge to pin this naughty kid down on his legs and beat him up... It's not that he was helpless in this situation. If he wanted to get out, he could use the map of mountains and rivers to create his own world and avoid the lock of the formation.

But if this happens, the old and young Zen duo will discover Duan Huaige's strange secret, which Duan Huaige cannot accept.
