Taiping Inn

After Bai Xiushang and Shangguan Wan attacked one after another, the great masters of the heavenly realm of Confucianism and Taoism attacked one after another. However, their battlefield was not limited to this section of the city wall. Some of them had even fought from outside the city to inside the city. Except for the palace city guarded by a large formation, no one dared to go there for the time being, and there were fierce battles in other places. Read М

There is a pagoda in the inner city of the imperial capital, named "Ci'en Pagoda". The pagoda is divided into seven floors and built in a square pavilion style. It is more than 20 feet high. Standing on the top of the pagoda, you can overlook half of the imperial capital. This place has always been a favorite place for literati and poets. There are hundreds of poems left in it. The poem "The tower is like a surge, soaring high into the sky. Climbing out of the world, the steps are winding in the void. It suddenly presses down on Shenzhou, and it is as majestic as a ghost's work. The four corners block the sun, and the seven floors touch the sky." won the first prize.

At this time, the red light of Ci'en Pagoda was bright, and the various poems written by literati and scholars of all ages were like Taoist talismans, shining brightly, making Ci'en Pagoda seem like a piece of red-hot iron.

Then the sky above the top of the pagoda suddenly dimmed, and black clouds gathered from all directions, with thunder wandering in it, appearing and disappearing from time to time.

Zhang Luanshan, carrying the purple and green swords, appeared above the black clouds, with his sleeves fluttering and his clothes fluttering. There was a faint cloud of celebration on his head, surrounded by clouds and mist, and a faint light on his face, as if the Thunder God who could call the wind and rain had come to the world, looking down at the Ci'en Pagoda below.

Zhang Luanshan could see the mystery of this pagoda. The great Confucian scholars and celebrities of all ages kept leaving their calligraphy in the pagoda, which condensed a great spirit, just like the Taoist immortals kept drawing talismans to bless. After hundreds of years of accumulation, this originally ordinary brick pagoda had all kinds of magical features. At this time, a Confucian master sitting in it can stimulate the great spirit nurtured in this tower, making this tower a fortress that can be attacked and defended.

"It turns out that the great heavenly master has arrived." A shadow appeared on the top of the tower. Judging from his figure and appearance, it was Yang Song, the chief priest of Tianxin Academy.

Li Xuandu and others were not familiar with Yang Song because he rarely showed up. Even in the last battle at Qixia Mountain, he did not show up until this time. However, because the Great Immortal Mansion and Tianxin Academy are both located in the south of the Yangtze River, Zhang Luanshan and Yang Song have met several times and know a little about this chief priest.

Zhang Luanshan said slowly: "Why does the high priest wade into this muddy water? The general trend of the world is nothing more than the two words 'rise and fall', which has long been determined. Since the revival of Confucianism by the sage of Neo-Confucianism, it has been more than 400 years. How can the world prosper forever?"

Yang Song said calmly: "It has nothing to do with reason, it's just my duty."

Zhang Luanshan nodded and said no more.

Yang Song's figure faded away, and the flowing red light on the surface of Ci'en Pagoda began to converge to the top of the pagoda. In a blink of an eye, the red light had overflowed from the top of the pagoda, and merged into a line of red light that rushed straight to the black cloud above his head.

The black cloud at the foot of Zhang Luanshan shook violently, and began to slowly rotate with the red light as the center. After a while, a huge vortex was formed, in which there were both thunder and lightning surging, and red light crisscrossed, and the two fought endlessly.

The black cloud laid by Zhang Luanshan was not a bluff, but the "Thunder Pool Array" of the Zhengyi Sect, which could use thunder magic more effortlessly. Just like the power of the White Dragon Tower Ship on the sea is very different from that on land, it all comes down to the word "geographical advantage".

Yang Song naturally realized this, so he had to break Zhang Luanshan's "Thunder Pool Array" first.

Zhang Luanshan no longer held back, waved his robe sleeves, and activated the "Five Thunders Heavenly Heart Orthodoxy" to activate the Thunder Pool.

A thunder fell down in a winding way, and slammed on the top of the Ci'en Pagoda. The lightning flowed, and the Ci'en Pagoda was unscathed.

The next moment, five more thunders fell from the sky and landed on the Ci'en Pagoda. The surface of the tower was full of lightning. Copper bells were hung on the four eaves of the Ci'en Pagoda. At this moment, the copper bells were automatically moved without wind. As the copper bells rang, the black lead clouds in the sky seemed to be affected and began to roll violently, and the thunder was even out of control.

Zhang Luanshan waved his sleeves, and the "Heavenly Master Seal" flew out, fixing the "Thunder Pool Array" and dispersing the remaining red light in the black cloud. Then, lightning began to fall from the sky in the Thunder Pool, like a violent storm, all hitting the surface of the Ci'en Pagoda.

A layer of red light emerged from the surface of the Ci'en Pagoda, and it remained motionless despite the roar of thunder.

Zhang Luanshan descended from above the Thunder Pool to below the Thunder Pool and raised his right arm.

The "Thunder Pool Array" above then dropped thirty-six thunderbolts, all of which gathered on Zhang Luanshan's right hand.

Zhang Luanshan pressed down with one hand, and all the thunderbolts gathered into a thunder dragon and descended to the world.

The thunder dragon entangled the Ci'en Pagoda, strangling it like a python.

The red light attached to the surface of the Ci'en Pagoda had already shown some cracks in just a few breaths.

Yang Song in the pagoda waved his sleeves, and all the poems written on the walls of the pagoda were separated from their original positions and manifested on the walls outside the pagoda.

The red light of Ci'en Pagoda was strong again, soaking the thunder dragon, causing the thunder dragon that was entangled with the pagoda to slowly disappear.

Zhang Luanshan's face was slightly solemn. He pulled out the "Purple Cloud" on his back and pointed his sword to the sky. The whole sky began to turn purple gradually. Soon the whole sky turned into a deep purple, like an inverted purple lake. This purple lake was still pressing down, and the sparkling "lake surface" seemed to be within reach.

A huge light column gushed out of Ci'en Pagoda, as thick as the pagoda body, rising against the current.

The red light column touched the purple "lake surface", and the "lake surface" remained flat, forming a "Ding" shape.

Where the two intersected, lightning and thunder splashed like raindrops.

This scene was spectacular.

Zhang Luanshan pulled out the "Blue Cloud" behind him again and pointed his sword to the ground.

The earth resonated with each other, and within a radius of a hundred feet, it shook loudly. The green energy rises, echoing the purple energy pressing from the sky.

At this moment, it seems that the heaven and earth are about to force a close together, and the Ci'en Tower stands between the two, like a pillar that holds up the sky, forcibly supporting it so that it cannot close together.

Zhang Luanshan held two swords in his hand, "Zixia" pointed to the sky and "Qingyun" pointed to the ground, and then he saw his arms slowly turning, just like the hour and minute hands on the dial of the Western clock, which was about to be closed.

Yang Song, who was located in the Ci'en Tower, was shocked and knew that this was a combination of two swords from the Great Heavenly Master lineage. He was very powerful and did not dare to be careless at all. He tried his best to activate the digitless talisman in the Ci'en Tower and turned into red light. It is also like a long sword, trying to pierce the purple qi above so that the purple and green qi cannot be combined into one place.

At this moment, the "Tianshi Seal" appeared above Zhang Luanshan's head. As an immortal object, the "Tianshi Seal" is similar to the "National Seal" of Old Man Long. It not only does not have too high requirements for realm cultivation, but can also bless itself. This is also how Zhang Luanshan has not entered the immortal realm but can control the "Tianshi Male and Male" of "Tianshi Male and Male" without entering the immortal realm. The key to the sword is.

The "Haotian Light Fire" fell on the "Tianshi Seal", which made Zhang Luanshan somewhat similar to Shangguan Wan, who used "The inner demon was born from me", but his body was not a black yin fire, but a nearly transparent white flame.

With the help of the "Tianshi Seal", Zhang Luanshan bit his tongue and spit out a mouthful of "true sun saliva".

People have essence, energy and spirit. The blood of heavenly spirit belongs to the spirit, the blood of middle finger belongs to the qi, and the blood of the tip of the tongue belongs to the essence. The so-called "true yang saliva" is the essence and blood on the tip of the tongue, which is the heaviest yang energy in a person's body.

In an instant, Zhang Luanshan was in great momentum.

The combination of two swords.

The two purple and green energy cooperated with a huge light column that shone through the blue.

With this pillar of light emerging, there is no darkness between the world, and it all turns into a vast and dazzling sword light as bright as the rising sun!

The energy of heaven and earth rippled out countless ripples like water waves spreading in all directions, with a wide coverage, and the aftermath continued to spread over the palace city before gradually dissipating.

Zhang Luanshan's sleeves were filled with countless winds and thunder.

The pillar of light immediately submerged the Ci'en Tower.

Among the light columns, countless purple lightnings were wandering.

This lasted for about an breath. When the light disappeared, although Ci'en Tower was still standing in place, the surface of the tower was mottled and all the words had disappeared.

When the wind blew, the already shaky Ci'en Tower collapsed.

Yang Song, who had been hiding in the Ci'en Tower, finally appeared.

The three high-ranking priests of Tianxin Academy, Wang Nanting belonged to the Neo-Confucian school, so he was in charge of the immortal "Zhu Huan" and the preparation of the "Moon Seal and Ten Thousand Rivers", while Yang Song was a school of mind learning, and he practiced the "mind power" .

Fundamentally speaking, the Neo-Confucian School and the Mind School are all taking the path of unity of the three religions, but the focus of the two is different. The Neo-Confucian School is more influenced by the Taoist school. The "nature principles" of Neo-Confucian School and the Heavenly Way of Taoism are quite common. Wherever there is a connection, the school of Xinxue is more influenced by Buddhism and values ​​the word "I".

As a disciple of the Mind School, Yang Song is also proficient in Buddhist studies.

The Buddha left a legacy, called the Buddha's bone relic, which was divided into many parts and was worshipped in various temples. Even emperors from all dynasties had the act of welcoming Buddha's bones into the great house to offer sacrifices, and the Ci'en Tower was There is a Buddha's bone relic dedicated to worship.

Yang Song sacrificed the Buddha's bone relics in his hand, and a grand sound of chanting scriptures emerged out of thin air. A Buddha's light emerged behind him. A bright Buddha opened his eyes in the red Buddha's light. There was a circle of red merit halos behind his head, symbolizing immeasurable Light.

This is the appearance of the Tathagata of the Great Sun.

Once this aspect is completed, it will immediately give rise to a sense of being filled with heaven and earth. The sun wheel behind the Dharma image also becomes extremely huge, like a real red sun.

Yang Song stretched out his right hand, stretched his five fingers naturally upward, and his palms were facing outward, forming the "Fearless Seal". The Dharma image of the Great Sun Tathagata behind him also made the same move. The Buddha's palm covered the sky and the sun, and the palm lines were clearly visible. It seemed that there were countless "sun true fire" hidden beneath it.

In an instant, the wind and clouds surging, and Yang Song forced himself to lock on Zhang Luan Mountain with his energy, leaving him with no way to avoid it.

Yang Song knew that Zhang Luanshan had two immortal objects and could not compete with him head-on, so he first relied on the Ci'en Tower to consume Zhang Luanshan's aura and avoid his sharpness, and then used the power of Buddha's bone relics to defeat Zhang Luanshan with Buddhist magical powers.

Yang Song asked in a deep voice: "Master, do you have any last words?"
