Pawn Crossing the River

It is impossible for so many witch clans and wild beasts to have the cultivation level of the creation stage. It seems that it is the most critical moment. Wu Luo and other senior witch sects no longer care about maintaining the mystery of the Ascension Holy Land. They open the door to the Lingshan Cave and let a large number of The Wu clan who did not meet the conditions entered it to resist the attack of the Tianshi Sect.

The Taoist priest system of the Taoist sect originated from the Tianshi sect. Today, the Taoist sect is only at the 9th and 12th level. Including the great master, great master, Taoist and Taoist priests, it is only the 16th level. At that time, the Tianshi sect was only at the 16th level. There are thirty-six levels, including ghost soldiers, ghost commanders, etc. The Great Celestial Master is at the top, and there is the existence of "Celestial Master Rule", making it look like a country.

After the collapse of the Tianshi Sect, Zhengyiyi actually experienced a great decline and was in a very loose state, losing its former power until Xuansheng rebuilt the Taoist sect. In the intervening more than a thousand years, Zhengyiyi may have greatly recovered in size, but neither its mobilization ability nor its tight organization can compare with the Tianshi Sect back then.

Because of this, Qi Xuansu saw mostly ordinary bones along the way. Under the erosion of time, there was nothing strange about them. They had even decayed and would break at the touch of a touch.

At this moment, Qi Xuansu discovered the intact remains of an ancient witch who survived the death. This ancient witch is six feet tall and has six arms. There are still some traces of wild beasts all over his body, but the battle damage was so severe that his original appearance can no longer be seen. The ancient witch was wearing simple and unsophisticated armor. It was also damaged in the battle, and only some fragments were left, barely hanging on the bones.

Qi Xuansu can be sure that this is an ancient witch in the pseudo-immortal stage, the kind that came to the Lingshan Cave Heaven through a blood sacrifice on the altar and a pseudo-ascension ceremony. The traces of wild beasts on its body are proof, because the blood of wild beasts will be used in the blood sacrifice. , so the ancient witch will have some wild beast characteristics.

Qi Xuansu also felt a familiar aura from the bones of this ancient witch, which was the aura inherited from human immortals. After all, the true form of human immortals was also called the true form of the great witch.

The real body of the human immortal is different from the golden body of Buddhism. The key to the former lies in the acupuncture points and the body spirit in the body. It is said that the body and spirit are indestructible. Once the body and spirit collapse, the body of the human immortal is no longer indestructible as the golden body. After the death of the human immortal body Afterwards, there will be no intact flesh and blood body left behind. On the contrary, the Buddhist golden body is strong on the outside and dry on the inside. Sometimes, a body can be left behind after death. On the surface, the golden body still looks intact, but in fact it is hollow on the inside.

An ancient witch, an ancient witch who prefers martial arts.

Of course Qi Xuansu had to study it carefully. He carefully observed the remains of the ancient witch. After so many years, the bones of the ancient witch were still like gold steel. Qi Xuansu tried to reach out and break them, but they didn't move. Although Qi Xuansu didn't dare to use too much strength, it was much stronger than the ordinary witch remains that broke into pieces at a touch.

However, there were still thunder and lightning residues on the remains of the ancient witch. When Qi Xuansu touched it with his palm, a cluster of electric flowers exploded immediately. Immediately afterwards, the sight of thirty-six thunder gods appeared in the acupoints of the bones.

Qi Xuansu had seen this scene in Zhang Yuelu's body before. It was a scene that could only be seen after practicing the "Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Zhengfa" to a certain level.

From this point of view, this ancient witch died in the "Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Rectification", and his body was directly destroyed by the thunder. Thirty-six thunder gods replaced the body god in the body, occupied the magpie's nest, and finally caused the ancient witch to die. .

I don’t know whether it was the Zu Tianshi himself who took action, or the descendants of Zu Tianshi’s disciples. I think I should be able to find this ancestor in the ancestral hall of Dazhen Mansion.

In terms of size and level of organization, the Tianshi Sect certainly cannot be compared with today's Taoist sects. But regardless of the various strategic means that require the collective strength of everyone, in terms of high-end individual combat power alone, the Tianshi Sect with the Ancestral Tianshi may be really not inferior to today's Taoist sects.

As the End of the Dharma approaches, although the number of heavenly beings shows a surge, the number of immortals has not increased much, and has stopped at the level of immortals. Not to mention the Second Tribulation Immortal.

This is not only true for Taoism, but also for the Holy Court, Buddhism, and Confucianism.

It seems that the immortals are giving up on the world, and this giving up is from top to bottom.

The first to disappear was the Dao Ancestor, then the Three Tribulations Immortals, then the Two Tribulations Immortals, the One Tribulation Immortals, and finally the ordinary Immortals. Until the last immortal passed away, there were no more immortals in the world.

Next are the heavenly beings, and one day there will be no more people in the world who can fly into the sky or escape from the earth. Among the remaining people, qigong masters and martial artists are lumped together. They know some qigong and boxing. Those who can reach the innate stage are great masters of qigong and creation. They are also afraid of fire guns. Alchemists and shamans are indistinguishable from each other, somewhere between liars and warlocks. They are mostly illusions rather than spells. Faith is wise. Once someone sees through it, you have to start over in another place.

Perhaps one day, these out-of-shape warriors and alchemists will disappear, and future generations will think that immortals are all myths and legends, and even martial arts and magic are the stuff of liars.

Daomen and Daxuan have even become lost civilizations.

Just when Qi Xuansu's thoughts were drifting away, a little red light lit up in the eye sockets of the ancient witch's skeleton. The remains that had been sleeping for more than a thousand years seemed to be awakened by Qi Xuansu, and he slowly raised his weapon and slashed at Qi Xuansu.

Because the ancient witch's remains were six feet high, it was impossible for Qi Xuansu to keep looking up at his head, and he actually didn't notice that the ancient witch's remains had come back to life and been chopped up with an axe.

However, Qi Xuansu has now reached the stage of creation. Not to mention that the ancient wizard is dead, even if he is still alive, he may not be able to defeat Qi Xuansu.

Therefore, not only did the ax fail to hurt Qi Xuansu, but Qi Xuansu's body shattered the already rotten axe.

Qi Xuansu immediately pulled out "Qingyun" and slashed out with his sword, cutting off the ancient witch's remains in half.

The reason why "Qingyun" is used instead of "Pure Bodhi" is mainly because "Qingyun" has been here before, displayed his power here and drank the blood of ancient witches.

Sure enough, "Qingyun" immediately let out a clear cry, which seemed to resonate with some kind of legacy here.

After this ancient witch was cut off by "Qingyun", there was no movement immediately, as if the resurrection just now was just a kind of reflection, just a breath.

However, this still made Qi Xuansu more careful.

There is indeed something strange about this Lingshan cave. It may not be completely dead, but there is still "life".

After all, Wu Luodu has been resurrected and is making trouble outside. By the way, Wu Xian, who was killed by his sisters, also came back to life many years later and returned to the world.

And when it comes to "resurrection", this is what the ancient witchcraft is good at, but the witchcraft cannot achieve perfect resurrection.

For Qi Xuansu today, it makes no difference whether he is resurrected perfectly or not. It means great risks. No wonder the Yao family regards this place as a "warehouse". In addition to the fact that the entrance and exit portal to Lingshan Cave has been destroyed, these ancient witches are also natural guards.

Qi Xuansu looked at the remains of the ancient witch again. Just now, they were comparable to gold steel. Now, as if they had experienced tens of thousands of years in an instant, they had completely decayed and turned into dust.

Qi Xuansu didn't know for a while whether this was the characteristic of the ancient witch's remains or the specialness attached to "Qingyun".

However, Qi Xuansu did not come here to archeological witchcraft, so he did not think too much and continued to move forward.

Next, Qi Xuansu clearly felt that the place was densely populated.

This kind of "population" does not mean living people, but more and more buildings. It was still a wilderness just now, but now it has entered the scope of villages and towns, but most of these buildings are only ruins.

Qi Xuansu looked around and found that the lower parts of many buildings had sunk into the ground and the whole was crooked. It seemed that this town was not just shattered by external forces, but also experienced a major earthquake.

Almost a day passed from the time Qi Xuansu woke up in the Lingshan cave to the time Qi Xuansu arrived at the destroyed town on foot.

There is no sun in the Lingshan Cave during the day, but there is skylight. It feels like it is cloudy. When you look up, you can only see thick lead clouds all over the sky. Once night falls, the clouds and fog will disappear, and a blood moon will appear, illuminating the entire Lingshan Cave sky in a blood-red color, as if it is a world of blood.

Qi Xuansu had an unreasonable intuition that the night in Lingshan Cave would be more dangerous than the day. Maybe many ancient witches would be resurrected at night and then fall asleep during the day. After all, the bloody moonlight filling every corner looked weird. Who knows what will happen if you are exposed to the bloody moon for too long.

Qi Xuansu did not dare to take risks and decided to find a place to stay and wait for dawn.

The most conspicuous building in this town is an ancient temple. It is completely different from the Taoist temples of later generations. It is full of wild atmosphere, large and ingenious, not refined, and has a rough beauty, as if it is built on a whole piece of rock. It is carved and carved rather than built with bricks and stones.

The temple is also the only building that is still intact and has not sunk half into the ground. However, the area around the temple is also the place where the battle was the most brutal. The corpses of the ancient witches here are far better than those in other places. It seems that the ancient witches fought and retreated, and finally retreated to the vicinity of the temple. , fought to the death here, and were finally annihilated by the Taoist priests of the Tianshi Sect.

This also made Qi Xuansu hesitate, should he enter the temple?

It is true that the temple can block the moonlight, but if a large number of corpses around the temple are resurrected and just surround Qi Xuansu, Qi Xuansu can only fight a bloody path, which will be self-defeating.

Now Qi Xuansu seemed to be alone deep into the enemy's territory, without any supplies or support except for retreating. Once he retreated, he would not be able to come back. In this case, Qi Xuansu must be careful not to get injured easily, not to consume too much, and try to avoid unnecessary battles.

Thinking of this, Qi Xuansu unfolded the celestial phenomena and sought enlightenment from True Lord Ziguang.

A very simple divination of good and bad fortune, which only requires a small amount of divine power.

Soon, True Lord Ziguang responded.

Zhongping.

Generally, there are six standards for good and bad fortune in divination: great good fortune, high good fortune, medium good fortune, medium good fortune, bad fortune and great misfortune.

Neutral means there is a high probability that nothing will happen.

Qi Xuansu then walked into the temple.
