Chapter XVIII
This street is deserted, and mortals still dare not take half a step beyond the thunder pool. Just outside the gate of the Jinyang faction, there is a sculpture as high as one zhang, using the dung of cattle and horses and other livestock as raw materials, I don't know what means are used to mold them together.
The carving is the appearance of Tao Daran, who is growing up and eating a lump of cow feces with his mouth.
I don't know how Jiang Shiyu has the talent of a craftsman, the "sculpture" Tao Daran has a vivid demeanor, and he especially enjoys sending a piece of feces into his mouth.
Tao Baining was dumbfounded.
Tao Daran waved his hand, and a ray of light blew the sculpture to pieces.
For such a large sculpture, it took hundreds of catties just to distinguish between cattle and horses, and it is no wonder that Jiang Shiyu said that the materials are not easy to find......
"Someone!" Tao Daran roared, the entire Jinyang faction took action, and the disciples ran out in a panic, seeing the feces outside and the face of the head of the sect, they didn't dare to ask more, and hurriedly cleaned up.
Tao Daran, who originally planned to take his daughter out to run errands, didn't go out either, and flicked his sleeves and went back with a heavy hum. Tao Baining hurriedly followed.
The father and daughter returned to Tao Daran's study, Tao Baining hesitated, but said, "Daddy, it's really hateful for them to do this, but isn't it good for us to treat them like that before?"
Tao Daran looked at his daughter, the anger on his face gradually dissipated, and he sighed slightly: "What can I do as a father?" Although Chongyin and they are kind to us, if they continue like this, sooner or later they will occupy the magpie's nest, and the inheritance left by our ancestors cannot be interrupted in my hands." β
Tao Baining hesitated, in fact, he wanted to talk about Sun Li's family background. I shouldn't have taken a fancy to the "foundation" of the Jinyang faction, but I didn't say it after all.
"Ning'er," Tao Daran continued: "We now have these eighteen mercenaries, coupled with our own strength, we already have the capital to compete with Nandoumen, thinking that Yin Yang is a generation of heroes, and I won't see this clearly." Not to mention. It was Sun Li and them who killed Guan Xinghe, they were already gone, how could Yin Yang risk a huge loss to fight with us?"
"But......" Tao Baining wanted to say something more. After hesitating for a moment, he swallowed back: "What does Daddy want to do, my daughter will support you." β
Tao Daran was delighted, touched her head lovingly, and said, "This is Daddy's good daughter......!"
Tao Daran thought that sending Chongyin and them to the Ancient Beast Villa was a wonderful move: if they really went. Just outside the battlefield, watching himself repel the Nandoumen, how can he dare to be arrogant in front of himself from now on?
If they can't bear to quit the Jinyang faction, they will be considered to be in a big trouble.
Luo Huan has actually analyzed these thoughts for him.
But Tao Daran made a mistake, that is, habitually treating others with himself. If he was to be the master of the Nandou Gate, he was naturally reluctant to spend a huge price to capture the Jinyang faction at this time, but first, he was not Yin Yang, and he did not experience the pain of losing his son twice. Second, he is used to being the head of a small sect. is also a little childish, but Yin Yang is the head of one of the four sects and six sects, how can he have the same bearing?"
This is Luo Huan's original words, and Sun Li thinks so.
......
On the official road, Sun Li and others galloped on the beast.
Because recently the South Doumen sealed Lu Maru Castle. When the news came out, almost no one thought that the Jinyang faction would be able to hold on, in order not to harm the pond fish, no one had gone to Lu Pill City recently, and the mortals who wanted to escape couldn't get out at all because of the blockade of the South Dou Gate, so there were almost no pedestrians on this official road leading to Lu Pill City.
The crowd was also very happy to run.
Gallop for a while. Everyone gradually slowed down, and Su Xiaomei said: "Sun Li, let's find a place to settle down first, all of us have been fighting for a while now, and we all have some understanding, and we should be able to improve a realm after retreating for a period of time." β
Everyone nodded, and Sun Li said, "Okay, let's meditate for a while, accumulate strength, and strive to successfully leave this ghost place in one fell swoop!"
"Good. β
Sun Li was thinking about where to go for retreat, when a group of people came on the official road ahead, the first one was tall, and when he saw them from a distance, he immediately asked in a loud voice, "Is it Mr. Sun Li?"
The man had a huge fanged elephant under his crotch, and he was the first to run wildly and said happily: "Sir, it's me!"
It turned out to be Zong Qingyan.
Sun Li was a little surprised, and smiled casually: "Why are you here? Nandoumen is besieging Lu Pill City." β
Zong Qingyan smiled and said: "Sir must want to hear the truth, then I will say it, if I wait until the war is over and come back, Sir will disdain to associate with me, right?"
Sun Li laughed: "You like to tell the truth more and more." β
Zong Qingyan also laughed, and Sun Li pulled him over to introduce it to everyone. After seeing the salute one by one, Zong Qingyan was also secretly frightened: these companions of Sun Li look very young, but their realms are all high and terrifying, such a group of people, and Sun Li's existence against the sky, over time, I am afraid that a force will be formed that is enough to influence the overall situation of Wuhuan!
He was secretly glad that he had bet on the right treasure again this time.
Before he came, his parents said that they would not let him go, and they all felt that there were eggs under the nest? Jinyang Sect was definitely not the opponent of Nandoumen, and if he went to help him at this time, wouldn't he be looking for death?
But Zong Yang's firepower overrode the public opinion and sent him out. Zong Qingyan admired his grandfather very much: Jiang is still old and spicy!
Zong Qingyan looked at them and was a little strange: "Gentlemen, where are you going?"
Sun Li was reluctant to mention more about the Jinyang Sect at this time, and said perfunctorily: "I am going to walk around, and then find a place to meditate for a while, there is no purpose." β
Zong Qingyan immediately said, "Then why don't you go to our sect's house?"
The Zong family is also a big clan in Wuhuan, and more importantly, the Zong family is a family of spirit beasts.
"This, won't it be too disturbing?" Chongyin hesitated.
Zong Qingyan immediately understood what he meant, and said with a smile: "Sir, don't worry, in fact, I have always lived in the deep mountains with my ancestor, it is very quiet, only me, my ancestor and a few old servants. β
The clan is a big clan, and a large family of people goes in and out to usher in and out. It's really a headache, but if you live with Zong Qingyan's ancestors and grandchildren, you will save all your troubles.
Chongyin nodded slightly at Sun Li, and Sun Li said, "Then bother." β
Zong Qingyan was overjoyed: "Gentlemen are willing to go, that is the honor of me and my ancestors, don't be so polite." Let's go!"
Speaking of which, the heritage of Wuhuan's famous spirit beast family is really profound, and Zong Qingyan immediately released three more fanged elephants. On the back of each fanged elephant is a wooden platform with a fine carpet. There are also special servants pouring wine and tea to serve.
plus Zong Qingyan, a total of nine people, abandoned Sun Li's beast soldiers, and got on these four fanged elephants to hurry together.
This spirit beast is not slow. But it was very stable, and it was indeed much more comfortable than Sun Li's beast soldiers.
......
The Zongjia is located in Baixiang County in Southern Wuhuan, and it is the sphere of influence of the Jiyi Sect, one of the four sects and six sects. The Zong family has the old ancestor Zong Yanghuo in charge, even the Extreme Intention Sect has to sell them three points of face.
But once Zong Yanghuo is gone, I don't know what will happen to the Zong family.
Zong Yanghuo doted on his children in his early years, so his children were not successful. When she got older and saw the crisis that the Zong family had no successor, she did her best to cultivate Zong Qingyan, and she was very strict.
Zong Qingyan is currently the person who is most likely to inherit the mantle of Zong Yanghuo.
And now. There is another opportunity in front of us, which can surpass Zong Yanghuo and bring the Zong family to a new height. Therefore, Zong Yanghuo was able to overcome public opinion and support Zong Qingyan to go to Lu Pill City.
Zong Qingyan invited Sun Li and others, so he sent someone to rush home in advance to inform Zong Yanghuo. Zong Yanghuo was overjoyed. This trip not only avoided danger, but also went one step closer to the great opportunity, he was naturally busy with preparations, and by the way, he scolded those children who were not successful-this scolding was mostly to show off your son and me, and taught a good grandson.
As for how the children below will be intrigued by this. He didn't bother to care. He had already told these unsuccessful sons and daughters: Zong Qingyan can grow up, and they will be able to continue the life of brocade clothes, jade food, foxes and fake tigers in the future, if something happens to Zong Qingyan, when the old man goes, you will all be liquidated by those enemies!
The family member who was sent back to report was very clever, and told the old man everything, Zong Yanghuo knew that Sun Li and they liked to be quiet, so they would restrain their children during this time, and less contact with those fox friends and dog friends, whether our Zong family will prosper and go to the next level in the next few hundred years, or fall into the dust and mud and everyone will trample on it, we will have to watch for a while!
The old man Zong Yanghuo waited left and right, and he was anxious. Finally, six days later, Sun Li and the others arrived.
Zong Yanghuo greeted him a hundred miles away in a very low-key manner, and politely approached Sun Li and them to his old mansion in the depths of Xiangben Mountain. It made Sun Li and them very embarrassed.
Sure enough, there was no grand banquet, everything in the old mansion was simple, only a few old servants who had served Zong Yanghuo for decades were there, everyone was very satisfied here, and after explaining to the old man Zong Yanghuo, they each began to retreat and impact a higher level.
On the contrary, it was Sun Li, because he had just been promoted to the next level recently, but he was not in a hurry to retreat, he practiced every night and studied the spirit pattern array during the day.
Of course, there is no way to communicate with Zongyang Huo's ancestors and grandsons about the matter of the Spirit Pattern Array, but the Spirit Beast and the Beast God Seal can.
Zong Yanghuo collected the meridian diagrams of many spirit beasts, and Sun Li also gained a lot after borrowing them to watch. Moreover, after all, Zong Yanghuo has studied spirit beasts for so many years, and he also has many unique insights, which can also inspire Sun Li a lot.
And Sun Li's knowledge about spirit beasts is all from Luo Huan, far beyond the current Xiuzhen civilization too much, Sun Li sometimes said casually, for Zongyang Huo's ancestors, it is a wonderful theory from a high position, which allows them to expand new thinking.
The grandparents and grandchildren would always think: yes, why haven't I thought about it like this?
During this period of time, Sun Li, inspired by Zong Yanghuo, designed and produced seven more "Beast God Seals", and installed all of them on his beast soldiers.
Without exception, the seven second-level beast soldiers were all promoted to third-level beast soldiers by virtue of the Beast God Seal.
And Sun Li did not hide his selfishness in this regard, and none of the beast god seals were carved, all of which were observed by Zongyang Huo's ancestors, which was even more inspiring to the two of them.
Ten days after coming to the Zong family, almost half a month after they left Lu Marucheng, on this day, Zong Qingyan came to see Sun Li with a somewhat strange expression: "Sir, there is something you may want to know. β
Sun Li looked at him secretively, a little strange: "What's the matter? What the hell is going on?"
"The Jinyang faction was broken by the Nandou Gate. β
Sun Li was not surprised. I just didn't expect it so soon.
"Nandou Sect did not hesitate to invite the fourth elder of the Sage Realm, who had not asked about secular affairs for many years, to make a move, and attacked repeatedly, the Jinyang faction finally couldn't support it, I heard that it had been dispersed and broke through, but there didn't seem to be many people who rushed out. β
Sun Li nodded, Yin Yang is also cunning. Knowing that it was not worth it with the ordinary powerhouses and the mercenaries of the Jinyang faction, he simply invited the Taishang Elder, although it seemed a bit "bullish knife to kill chickens". But it really minimizes losses. The overall strength of the Nandou Sect has not been fundamentally damaged, and it can still dominate the ranks of the lowest-level sects in Wuhuan.
"There is news that Tao Baining's eighteen major mercenaries can only be summoned at the cost of burning their lives. Didn't use it once. It's going to cost ten years of life. In order to resist the attack of Nandoumen, she kept summoning mercenaries, and after more than a dozen times, she finally ran out of yang life, aged and died......"
Sun Li was stunned, and couldn't help sighing: "She was really dragged down by her father." β
When she was in the Heavenly Treasure Vault, she knew about this situation compared to Tao Baining, which is why she seemed so abnormal.
The Jinyang Sect is at the time of life and death, how can she not use it when she gets eighteen mercenaries? But once she uses it, she will consume her Yang Shou, and she is afraid that Tao Baining will still return to the Jinyang Sect. I'm ready to die.
Sun Li didn't ask Tao Daran about his life and death, his death at this time was a relief.
His feelings for his daughter are sincere and deep, but because of his own cleverness, he pushed his daughter to a dead end, if he is still alive, this kind of emotional torture is definitely worse than death!
The Jinyang faction was destroyed. Tao Daran ended miserably, Sun Li should have been happy, but he was in a bad mood because of Tao Baining's miserable experience, waved his hand and said goodbye to Zong Qingyan, returned to his room, and meditated.
He originally wanted to run the "Nine Star Imperial Road". But he couldn't calm down, so he simply released a trace of soul fire, devoured it with his spiritual sense, and began to cultivate his spiritual sense.
......
Sun Li has already experienced a lot of benefits of strong spiritual sense, and just like "Galaxy True Solution", it will become stronger and stronger the further it goes.
After Sun Li devoured several soul fires one after another, in the river of spiritual knowledge, the azure water became more and more lively and strong, and he was also satisfied in his heart.
During this period of meditation, Sun Li's realm has steadily improved, and he has barely entered the middle stage of the seventh level of the Daoist realm, and at this time, it has only been more than a month since he officially entered the seventh level of the Daoist realmβthis cultivation speed, no matter where it is placed, is enough to make people frightened.
The advantages of "Nine Star Imperial Road" have slowly begun to manifest.
After receiving the exercises, Sun Li groaned for a while, thinking about some things. Both Wu Yao and Luo Huan could feel his thoughts, and Wu Yao spoke, "You can start trying the real Spirit Pattern Array......"
Sun Li was overjoyed: "Really?"
"It's true, of course, but who are you going to test on first?"
After all, it is still dangerous to add a spirit pattern array to a monk for the first time. Sun Li thought about it, and finally smiled bitterly: "Forget it, I'll do it myself." β
Wu Yao also said: "I knew you would be the answer." β
Luo Huan said: "Actually, you can find an irrelevant person and tell him to understand the stakes, there must be many people who are willing to be your experiments." β
Naturally, Jiang Shiyu and them can't be used as experiments.
Sun Li said: "I know, but I don't want to leave the Spirit Pattern Array in Wuhuan. β
Wu Yao said: "It's practical for you to make your own experiments, but it's a very good choice at present." β
"Huh?" Sun Li and Luo Huan were a little puzzled.
"You've forgotten one thing: the dragon shadow. β
The dragon shadow is a cruel but extremely powerful magic weapon. The raw material of this magic weapon was originally the spirit pattern array on the body of a divine dragon, and after peeling off the part of the dragon skin with the spirit pattern array, it was sacrificed by various means, and finally became this "dragon shadow shadow".
Essentially, it was a Spirit Pattern Array - albeit broken.
Sun Li was very surprised: "You mean to add the dragon shadow puppet to myself as a spirit pattern array......?"
Wu Yao said: "Of course, it can't be installed directly, this Spirit Pattern Array Suit has been damaged, and it is installed on the Divine Dragon, which does not cooperate with your meridians." So some modifications are needed......"
Sun Li was surprised at first, but soon became interested in the bold idea proposed by Wu Yao, and the two immediately began to discuss.
Although Luo Huan is not as proficient in the spirit pattern array as Wu Yao, after all, he is well-informed, and he also interjects from time to time.
Such an almost crazy idea, in the heated discussion of the three of them, gradually began to come true.
Wu Yao firmly believes that the biggest reason why this idea can be realized is because the human race has a trace of the blood of the Divine Dragon Clan in its body. Wu Yao's concept is to draw out the power of this bloodline through a half-spirit rune and half-formation structure, and then use it as a medium to combine it with the spirit pattern array in the dragon shadow puppet. In this way, the Terrans will be able to use the Dragons' Spirit Pattern Array.
As for the missing part of the spirit pattern array in the dragon shadow puppet, Wu Yao and Sun Li designed a sealing formation together, and the inspiration still came from Sun Li's previous idea of sealing the spirit beast in the spirit pattern array, and "sealed" this dragon shadow in that formation.
In fact, there is an extra layer of sealing formation as the "cornerstone", and the dragon shadow is added to the new spirit pattern array.
After the design was made, Sun Li used the most precious materials in his hand to complete this spirit pattern array as quickly as possible. Then he spent three days recuperating and made various unexpected predictions and countermeasures, and then carefully pasted this Spirit Pattern Array on his left arm...... Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
