The first cause of all realms
Chapter 497 Who is Wang Northwest?
Chapter 497 Who is Wang Northwest?
Financial refinement...
Yang Ju was slightly taken aback.
He has never stopped cultivating and developing the three magical powers in his body, but compared to the immediate effect of shaking the ground, the strange and magical power of Tongyou, and the magical power of melting gold and refining the body are too slow to take effect.
The empty valley stone is hard to find, and it takes a long time to extract the mysterious stone. Therefore, after a few years, the 'magnetism' produced by absorbing the mysterious stone is actually very weak.
It can barely affect the gold and iron weapons within three feet, but that's all. If you want to use it against the enemy, you are still reluctant.
Compared with the mustard space, it seems a little non-existent.
But he is well aware of the power of this ability. In the past few years, whenever he has free time, he will absorb black stones, and even learn how to use yin and yang to kill his hands...
"Although I hate that temptress to the bone, I have to admit that her practice is unparalleled in the world, even though she naturally has a rejection of martial arts, but she has lived for too long, and her meritorious deeds are so profound that it is outrageous.
Not to mention, she still eats..."
Suppressing the surging emotions in his heart, the old man's voice calmed down:
"It's not easy to break the method, but also to absorb all the subtleties? The old Taoist thought for a long time, and he only felt that he could break it with lightning, the best hope..."
"Break it with lightning..."
Yang Jue frowned and thought, then smiled wryly again:
"This...unusual technique, the junior's practice is too shallow, I'm afraid it won't work?"
"Thunder and lightning are everywhere."
Taking a deep look at Yang Ju, the old Taoist smiled and pointed to the sky.
"Lightning?"
Yang Jue's eyelids twitched.
With his current martial arts, he thinks he can withstand being struck by lightning a few times, but if he wants to lure lightning into his body and use it to flood his dantian, it is inevitable...
The old man smiled and turned around: "Do you know the talisman array?"
Seeing Yang Yu nodded, he continued:
"Speaking of it, the talisman array is a Taoism, but it is more difficult to figure out and master than ordinary Taoism.
As far as this old man knows, in the past 3000 years, the one with the highest cultivation of talisman formations is the sloppy Taoist master of Xuankong Mountain..."
"More than 1000 years ago, he traveled all over the world, found 72 divine peaks, and used this to set up an array, severely injuring that temptress..."
When the old Taoist talked about the old things, there was no lack of satisfaction in his expression.
"The key to a talisman array is not a talisman, but an array. What is an array? This array is not an array, but a 'magnetic field'. Items like Sinan are also formed according to this..."
"magnetic field?"
Yang Yu's heart trembled slightly.
Compared with the mysterious and complicated talisman formations, celestial phenomena, earth veins, and geomantic omen, he is very familiar with this.
only……
"In other words, it's called the aura. According to legend, the root of Taoism such as 'Lei Fa' and 'Character Formation' is this aura..."
"Yin Lei, I don't really want Lei to hit you, but I want you to find a suitable place, change your aura, break through and stand up."
The meaning of the mantra is still unfinished, but the spirit is really sluggish, and he yawns repeatedly:
"How to find a suitable place, how to guide the change of the aura, it's all in that book..."
"Your body..."
Seeing that his spirit was getting worse and worse, Yang Qiu couldn't help urging Tong You again, and stirred up the remaining pages of the book of the underworld.
It's a pity that, just like before, the old man's fate is in chaos and cannot be seen clearly.
In the past two months, he tried more than once, and knew by insinuation that the old Taoist body has no strange treasures, but his spiritual cultivation is far superior to his own...
"The place of dominion..."
Yang Jue sighed in his heart.
There is no doubt about the power of Ming Shu, but there are also great constraints. Not only do high-level ghosts and gods need to be able to drive it, but they also need a place to rule.
He is just a lone ranger at this time, obviously not qualified.
"Maybe it can last for a while, maybe a few months, maybe a few years, or maybe, a few days?"
The old man yawned and fell asleep, but he still smiled freely:
"Don't feel sad for this old man, if you live two sixty years old, even if you die immediately, that's also joy and mourning!"
"call!"
Naturally, Yang Jue didn't have this ease, took a deep breath, and felt more and more urgent, and immediately didn't want to disturb his rest, bowed and said goodbye.
"Going down the mountain alone, don't bring any eagles or dogs, go carefully, use disguises, hide your body..."
The old man called him.
"Ok?"
Yang prison stopped.
The old Taoist smiled slightly, waved his hands, and closed his eyelids:
"That Yunni Taoist, although he is staring at the old Taoist, there is no guarantee that he will not attack you. After all, the reward is too heavy, and I am a little moved..."
"Wait until Taoist Yunni leaves, and let this eagle dog go to find you..."
Talking and talking, already fell asleep.
"Taoist Yunni."
Yang Jue felt slightly, but didn't notice anything.
But he still raised caution in his heart, bowed to the old Taoist, turned and left.
……
……
"call!"
Twenty miles east of Yulong, on a barren mountain, several Taoist priests from Fushui Temple are sitting quietly, and Taoist Yunni is in the middle, carrying Qi and blood.
The talisman array in Dayan Mountain not only imprisoned the old woman, but also refused to approach anyone. Every time it was replenished, it would suffer a counterattack.
He was also seriously injured.
At a certain moment, he felt something in his heart, and slowly opened his eyes:
"Xuan Yi."
Zhao Xuan, who was waiting quietly at the side, approached and bowed: "Master."
"The people who summoned the six gates said that the person they were looking for had gone to the northwest."
Taoist Yunni spoke lightly.
"Yang Prison?"
Zhao Xuanyi was slightly taken aback: "Master, won't you make a move?"
"Why do you want to make a move?"
Taoist Yunni asked back.
Zhao Xuan was at a loss for words.
"You guys don't understand the meaning of 'earth-shaking supernatural power' at all..."
The Taoist shook his head:
"Although the reward offered by His Majesty is heavy, how is it heavier than the gold-plated phoenix wings?"
"He has never met Lord Zhao, so who dares to say that he really possesses earth-shattering supernatural powers? Even if he did, would Lord Zhao still recognize him as a disciple?"
Zhao Xuanyi couldn't help but be astonished.
"Who knows?"
Yun Ni narrowed his eyes slightly:
"There are tens of thousands of warriors in the world, but he was born with the God-Seed. Could it be a coincidence? There are some things, not afraid of ten thousand, just in case..."
"Disciple understands."
Zhao Xuan bowed himself to be taught.
"Go."
Yun Ni waved his hand slightly and let him go.
He glanced at Yuankong, his eyes closed:
"Brother Xu, I have returned your favor to you..."
……
……
Huhu~
The cold wind howled, blowing the weeds and dust, revealing the half-buried bones beneath it, and further away, there seemed to be crows and birds hovering and screaming.
"Northwest Road, it has been corrupted to this point..."
On the boundless wilderness, Lu Qingting reined in his horse and stopped, looking around with a moved expression.
Desolate, dilapidated.
This is his first impression of Northwest Road, which is famous for its "horse breeding land".
He came from Ding'an Road, and what he saw along the way made his heart heavy, but the scene in front of him still made him worry.
If it is said that other ways are just signs of troubled times, but this northwest way is already in troubled times.
"Hundreds of miles along the way, there is no one inhabited. The rebellion on the Northwest Road has become so serious?"
The rest of the masters of Hanging Mountain also frowned secretly.
The Northwest Road has the most black iron ore veins in the Ming Dynasty, and has a vast horse grazing land. It has been a battleground for military strategists in all dynasties.
Therefore, the Northwest Road has always been heavily guarded, and the contemporary Northwest King is also in his prime, with a cloud of masters under his command. It is really unimaginable that it can be so serious.
"Senior brother Lu, I heard that the Northwest King is also a figure on the mountain and river list. How can Yan Dongjun force him to such a degree?"
Someone asked, full of surprise.
The Northwest King's name is naturally far from being able to compare with Zhao Wang who is qualified to open a mansion, but he is also a strong man who is ranked in the mountains and rivers. Although Yan Dongjun is not a nobody, why can he be forced to such a degree?
"The fruit of breaking the army."
Lu Qingting was expressionless.
He participated in most of the compilation of the Splendid Mountains and Rivers List, so he is naturally familiar with the world's masters, and he also knows a little about Yan Dongjun's details.
It is said that this person was originally the bastard son of a high-ranking family in Yanzhou in Northwest Dao. Somehow, he got the Dao fruit "Pojun", rose rapidly in the next 30 years, and even planned the Northwest Riot.
"The fruit of breaking the army is not one of the 'killing wolf levels' of the Black Mountain old demon? Could it be that this person..."
The man lowered his voice.
"Yes or no, we will know in due course."
Lu Qingting frowned.
The downhill this time, on the surface, was because Ma Longtu from the Seven Killing Shrine wanted to come to the Central Plains to challenge the heroes.
To deal with Yan Dongjun.
It is credible but not mentioned at all, the Northwest Road has been corrupted to this point...
"Troubled times..."
Someone sighed.
It was also silent.
Some people's thoughts diverged: "Northwest Road is close to Longyuan Road, I wonder if I can see that 'beheading knife' on this trip..."
"The beheading knife..."
Lu Qingting's expression was complicated, and he couldn't help but think of the swordsman in black that he saw in the illusion.
Shanhe list...
"Longyuan, Northwest, there are nine realms in the world, and the flames of war are everywhere. The two great dynasties outside the pass are also ready to move. I'm afraid that the Ming Dynasty really wants to..."
"Walk."
Lu Qingting interrupted his younger brother's exclamation with a cold voice, got on his horse, and urged the horse to gallop.
……
……
There are three states in the Northwest Road, Yanzhou, Xingzhou, and Lizhou.
Yanzhou.
Although the city wall baptized by the flames of war has been repaired, traces can still be seen. On the city wall, many soldiers are filled with crossbows. Outside the city, many soldiers are practicing.
Wenlong's black robe fluttered in the cold wind, and the majestic middle-aged man climbed up the stairs, and before the gate tower, he stood with his hands behind his back and counted the army formation.
"My lord, when will we set off?"
A muffled voice came, and a tall, burly, shirtless man stepped forward to follow:
"Just go to the Northwest Road City again, and you will be the new Northwest King!"
"Daocheng is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If you attack it by force, you won't be able to attack it. Even if you attack it, we will suffer heavy casualties, and we will be unable to enter the three states of Longyuan..."
Glancing at the generals under his command, Yan Dongjun slightly shook his head:
"Wait for someone."
"Wait for who?"
The giant man was a little anxious: "I heard from Mr. Zhu that the imperial court has already taken action, and will come to help in a few days. If we don't capture Daocheng as soon as possible, I'm afraid..."
"Brother Yan, are you waiting for me?"
"Who?!"
A group of people searched for their reputation, only to see a man in white coming with the wind in the cold wind.
As it walked slowly, the cold wind became stronger and bitingly cold, and it seemed that there was heavy snow following it, fluttering and falling.
Good night everyone, Gouzi has been blocked again, in the next few days, try to update earlier, three shifts and so on.Continue to push the book "Nobody Knows Luck Better Than I Do" On the fairy market, immortals overlook; between mountains and seas, evil spirits surround;
