Chapter 8: The Heavenly Sword of the Clouds
After returning from outside, Tang Zheng returned to Wu's house.
In the following days, he didn't go out much, just accompanied the second elder of the Wu family every day, bowed to his knees, and did his best.
Occasionally, his wife would send someone to invite them over for dinner, and Tang Zheng would not refuse, and in his spare time, he would even have a discussion with the spirit master of the Wei Mansion. Although the strength of these spirit masters is average, they have traveled south and north in the early years, but their horizons are still broad. Tang Zheng corresponded with them, and he also gained a lot of knowledge that he couldn't learn in the academy.
More than ten days have passed, and it is time for Tang Zheng to go to Yongsui Mountain.
Although he was reluctant to leave, Tang Zheng finally said goodbye to the Wei Mansion and the second elder. As for Wei Tianchong and Shi Meng, they continued to stay in the Wei Mansion, after all, the task was simple, and there was no need for them to follow them. However, Tang Zheng left Yi Yi by Wei Tianchong's side, so that it was easy to contact Yi Yi if there was anything to do.
After leaving the Wei Mansion, Tang Zheng took Xiaohu and flew towards Yongsui Mountain.
It took about half a day, Tang Zheng came to a mountain, and saw that the mountain was steep and beautiful, and he knew that this was Yongsui Mountain.
Yongsui Mountain belongs to the second big mountain in Lingzhou, the whole mountain covers an area of about 1,000 square kilometers, the north and south are long and the east and west are narrow, there are more than 100 peaks in the mountain, among them, there are 46 peaks that can be pointed out, the main peak is Rongcheng Peak, nearly 4,000 meters high, a mountain peak not far from the main peak is called Shimen Peak, it is the foundation of the Shimen sect of the Xiuxian sect where the ore vein is found.
When he arrived at Yongsui Mountain, Tang Zheng did not go directly to the Shimen Sect, but went to the local branch hall first.
The local branch of the Moon Washing Sect is located in a small town under Yongsui Mountain. Due to its remote location, compared with other large city branches, the Yongsui branch is much smaller, with only one director, two subordinates and four officers in the entire hall, mainly responsible for reception and supervision.
The spiritual master in charge is called Zhang Taixu, who is also a cultivator in the Hundred Refining Period, but he has entered the year of the sixtieth year, and his cultivation is full of white hair. Knowing that the Tang Tribulation was coming, Zhang Taixu personally greeted him, and after knowing that the Tang Tribulation was coming for the ore vein, he led the Tang Tribulation to Shimen Peak.
When he arrived at Shimen Peak, Zhang Taixu took the lead in landing at the bottom of the mountain and said: "This peak has been set up by the Shimen faction to guard the mountain, so it is not allowed to fly." You need to walk up the mountain after the report, until there is no disrespect to our faction. ”
Tang Zai nodded: "I know." ”
Guarding the mountain is a means that all factions have, it is like the ancient city wall, the fence of the country, and has the effect of keeping the enemy out. It is not easy to set up a large array to defend the mountain, because it is powerful and often costs a lot of money and takes a long time. Because it is a fundamental matter, it is more necessary to strengthen it every year and improve it year by year. Therefore, to see the foundation of a sect, in addition to the blessed earth, the easiest way is to look at his mountain guarding array.
Therefore, for the fact that the Shimen Sect was unable to fly because of the mountain guarding array, Tang Zheng would not care.
There are disciples of the Shimen sect at the foot of the mountain, and when they saw the people sent by Xiyue at this moment, they hurriedly opened the big array and led the two of them in.
Going up along the mountain road, Tang Zheng saw that there were strange flowers and plants blooming everywhere around the mountain road, there were mysteries everywhere in the mountain, and the cranes could be faintly seen flying at the peaks. The whole Shimen Peak is tall and majestic, the mountains are stacked and green, the weather is thousands, and it is quite a fairy family pattern. Even Tang Zheng couldn't help but admire: "It's a good place." ”
The disciple who received the guide listened to it and said with a smile: "The border is a small place, and it is difficult to enter the eyes of the law, but it makes the envoy laugh." ”
Tang Zheng said: "Although it is a small place, it has a big atmosphere. I see that the door of this mountain is half-covered, it seems to be open and closed, and there is the image of the jade court sky slashing inside, it seems that it should be the jade gate sky lock array, and it also joins the name of this stone gate. ”
The disciple hurriedly said: "The envoy has a clear eye, it is the Yumen Heavenly Lock Array. ”
This Jade Gate Heavenly Lock Array is a seven-rank large array, the best at resisting enemies outside the formation gate, itself is a very powerful formation, coupled with the fact that the Shimen Sect has continuously invested materials to strengthen the formation for hundreds of years, making its power even more terrifying.
At this moment, the stone steps that Tang Zheng and they walked on were the front end of this Jade Gate Heavenly Lock Array, called the Jade Garden, and it was also the most powerful point of this array. Above the stone steps, the streamer flickered faintly, and Tang Zhengtian's eyes were slightly opened, so that he could see that there seemed to be a sharp knife in the clouds, which was the Heavenly Spinning Knife. These days the Celestial Knife looks like a guillotine hanging in the air, with a sharp blade facing downwards on one side, no handle, only two slender chains leading to the clouds. As soon as an enemy forcibly breaks into this formation, the Sky Spin Knife will fall straight down. These Heavenly Spinning Knives are not comparable to ordinary attacks, but have the power that even the Heavenly Heart can kill, if they swarm, even the Purple Mansion will be cut into minced meat.
This is the Jade Court Heavenly Slash, a powerful attack that can be slashed even by true immortals.
For Tang Zheng, this is just an opportunity to learn. It was rare to enter an undefended array, and as he walked, his mind had stretched out in all directions.
Especially the knife cong in the clouds, it gave Tang Zheng a great inspiration. Thinking floating in the clouds, looking at the Heavenly Spinning Knife with a handle in the clouds, what appeared in front of Tang Zheng's eyes was not the appearance of the knife, but a variety of complex patterns formed by countless spiritual qi, each of which contained the most profound truth between heaven and earth.
Tang Zheng looked at these patterns almost obsessively, and his brain couldn't help but run rapidly, deconstructing the mystery of forming this qiē.
This is the wonderful use of wisdom, which can deconstruct the laws of the world and the composition of secret laws, but over the years, he has never really discovered the use of wisdom deconstruction, which shows that this is not an easy task.
Unexpectedly, he didn't intend to insert willows today, he just wanted to observe the secret of the Great Array, but at this moment, he triggered the rotation of his own wisdom and began to deconstruct the Skyrim Knife Thicket, which surprised him himself.
But at this time, he had no time to sigh, surprise and shock.
In front of him, a grand world was unfolding, slowly lifting the veil of mystery.
Tang Zheng was hungry and thirsty to absorb the mysteries inside, and the entire Jade Gate Heavenly Lock Array was absorbed and mastered by him little by little, and all kinds of mysteries were revealed to him one by one, and almost nothing was missed.
The secret of the formation formed by the Shimen sect for thousands of years was easily cracked, absorbed, and digested by Tang Zheng.
And even that's not enough!
For Tang Zheng, just mastering a Jade Gate Heavenly Lock Array was not a big deal, after all, he had already dabbled in the study of this array before, so he could learn so quickly.
What really interested him was the composition mechanism of the Jade Court Sky Slash.
What if the mighty guillotines hanging in the air, the slender chains stretching out into the sky, could unleash such a spell?
This is not an unrealistic fantasy, as we all know, the so-called formation is actually to release spells with heaven and earth as the carrier, because there is no human body limit, the use of the formation is more rigid, the cost is high, and the power is greater.
But it is precisely because of this that what can be used by the magic circle can often be used by cultivators, as long as you can find the right method, and vice versa.
For example, the Great Moro Heavenly King Mantra is actually born from the Moro Heavenly King Array. The Moro Heavenly King Array is also a famous seven-rank array, and if the intruder is in the array, he will be attacked by the main array, and its attack form is the same as the Great Moro Heavenly King Mantra, and the power is even more powerful and ferocious. Later generations were moved by the feeling, and after grasping the operation mechanism of the formation, they created the Great Mora Heavenly King Mantra.
Conversely, it is okay to have a spell first and then a formation.
At this moment, Tang Zheng had a whim, he could do it if he wanted to, and his consciousness was already moving towards the cloud and heavenly knife with all his strength, focusing most of his attention on this, leaving only a little mind to control the way, but he couldn't even say more than half a word. The disciple who received the lead also wanted to take the opportunity to curry favor with Tang Zheng, but he couldn't get the slightest response.
There are a total of eighty-one Heavenly Spinning Knives in the clouds, which is exactly the number of ninety-nine.
However, for Tang Zheng, it is enough for him to deconstruct it, and the rest is just repetition.
The full force of his mind was dissolved to form the structure of the Heavenly Spinning Knife, the huge number of filament spirit threads, the complex pattern structure, as if countless creatures were whispering in their ears, stirring Tang Zheng's head dizzy. But he still stiffened, to analyze, to remember, to digest, to understand the meaning of these deposits.
It's not just about understanding, it's important how to evolve it into a spell and reproduce it in your own way.
This is by no means a simple process, even if a Tianxin powerhouse wants to evolve an attack array into a spell, it often takes years or even decades at every turn, and it also requires sufficient comprehension premises.
However, under the effect of wisdom deduction, Tang Zheng greatly shortened this process. If he could see what he saw at this time, he would see a flowing water-like picture flying in front of his eyes, and what others couldn't see clearly was remembered by Tang Zheng at this moment, and he was doing extraordinary calculations.
"Hmph. Tang Zheng snorted, the load of powerful calculations made his nose bleed, and he simply stood there motionless.
"Envoy!" the disciple also saw that something was wrong and exclaimed in surprise.
Zhang Taixu stopped the disciple who was leading, he was very experienced, and he knew that Tang Zheng had probably entered some kind of epiphany at this moment, and he couldn't help but praise in a low voice: "Sure enough, he is worthy of being the person who was recommended by the Master, and the epiphany is like a meal for him, and he will be enlightened when he says that he is enlightened." ”
The disciple listened sluggishly, and looked at Tang Zheng's appearance as if he had seen a ghost, if he knew that what Tang Zheng had realized at this moment was his Shimen Sect's most powerful Jade Court Heavenly Slash, the Cloud Cong Heavenly Sword, and he didn't know how to feel.
In the middle of the rising of ideas, Tang Tribulation has reached the most tense stage.
A single Heavenly Spinner Knife is composed of a total of 1,312 figures, and after removing the similarities, there are still 456 remaining. Tang Zheng not only has to remember the graphics, but also to remember the combination, to solve the function, but also to change, and finally find a substitute in its own operation.
Although Tang Zheng can also write them all down, and study them slowly when he goes back. But there are things to remember, and there are things that can never be remembered. Thoughts rose and fell in this cloud, and Tang Zheng could feel a strange will.
It was this will that allowed him to enter his current state, and he was able to deconstruct the entire Jade Court Heavenly Slash, and it was also this idea that allowed him to break through quickly and find what he wanted. Out of this environment, maybe Tang Zheng will have to make up for it for many years to achieve the current result.
Therefore, Tang Zheng never relaxed, and his consciousness was struggling to support in the sea of clouds.
Finally, as if something suddenly opened up in his mind, many things that he couldn't figure out were finally suddenly comprehended at this moment, and a breath of qi rose from the bottom of his heart, permeating his whole body, and Tang Zheng could hardly restrain the urge to try.
But he knew it wasn't time yet, and he still had one final thing to do.
The idea continued to extend, once again taking in the entire Jade Court in his eyes, and Tang Zheng had already seen the combination of the Nine Nine Eighty-One Heavenly Spinning Knife.
Compared to the composition of a single Heavenly Spinning Knife, the Ninety-Nine Group was much simpler, and almost at a glance, Tang Zheng had completely mastered the mechanism of this Jade Court Heavenly Slash.
At the same time as he realized, an ancient and heavy aura suddenly burst out from the clouds.
Tang Zheng knew that this was the accumulation of thousands of years of history of the Shimen faction. His thoughts floated in this breath, as if he felt the will of the sages of this sect.
Under the influence of that will, a Heavenly Spinning Knife suspended in the air shook and collided with each other, making a crisp and pleasant sound like a wind chime.
"This is ......," the leading disciple and Zhang Taixu looked up in shock.
"Celestial Voice...... It is worthy of the great envoy, walking in the Jade Court, and you can also participate in the Dharma and enlightenment, congratulations!"
With a voice coming, I saw that above Shimen Peak, a group of people were coming down, and the person headed by him had a purple face and long hair, which was quite like a fairy wind and bones.
Zhang Taixu leaned close to Tang Zheng and whispered in his ear: "This is Qiu Shuyu in charge." ”
Tang Zai hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Tang Zai under the Moon Washing Gate, I have seen Qiu Zhenren." ”
Although he is a special envoy of the Moon Washing Sect, the other party is a true person of Tianxin, a faction in charge, and his status is higher than him, and Tang Zheng does not dare to be rude.
Originally, with Qiu Shuyu's status, there was no need to greet Tang Zheng, but Tang Zheng knew that he was coming when he was at the bottom of the mountain, and it was a little strange that he didn't go up the mountain for a long time at this moment. used a spell to investigate, only to find that Tang Zheng actually had the image of Shimen participating in the Dharma and enlightenment, so he was startled to greet him, but before he saw Tang Zheng, he heard the sound of welcoming guests, which means that the ancient will sleeping in the big array has recognized Tang Zheng, and Qiu Shuyu dares to slack off.
At this moment, listening to Tang Zheng's self-registration number, Qiu Shuyu said: "It turns out that it is the fierce tiger Tang Zheng that even tomorrow Kui has a fancy to, so it's no wonder that it's so good." ”
Because they belong to the same Tianxin, for people like Qiu Shuyu, it is more respectful to call Tiankui instead of a real person, but it does not lose their identity, so there are many people who are commensurate with this.
Tang Zheng has said: "The kid is rude, he is happy to see the etiquette for a while, the Jade Court participates in the law, and he has lost the etiquette, please forgive me." ”
"It doesn't matter. Qiu Shuyu laughed and said: "Sure enough, there are talents in the cultivation world, and there is never a shortage of geniuses. A few years ago, Xiyue sent a Beicang Han, and I thought that the students of the past ten years would be headed by him, but I didn't expect that there would be a Tang catastrophe with it. Such a genius junior, it's too late for me to stammer, old man. ”
Saying that, he had come over to take Tang Zheng's hand, and he seemed quite happy, but a few people around him looked uncertain and didn't seem so happy.
One of them, a middle-aged man with a slender body and a hooked nose, said directly: "I don't know what Tang Gongzi did just now?"
The tone of this was already a bit questioning.
After a while, Qiu Shuyu said: "This is my third junior brother, Shi Jingzhai." ”
Then he pointed to another man who was a little white and fat, wiping the sweat on his face with a handkerchief from time to time, and a pink-clothed Luo Dai beautiful woman and said: "These two are my second junior brother Liang Xingbang and fourth junior sister Yu Wanniang." ”
Tang Zai replied: "It turned out to be a real person in Huifeng, a master of the thick soil, a delicate lady, Tang Zai is polite." ”
Before he came, he had asked Zhang Taixu about the situation of the Shimen faction, and knew that there were four people in power in this faction, Qiu Shuyu was the senior brother, known as the real person of Shanshui, and the rest of the people were the three in front of him.
As for Shi Jingzhai, who asked him at this moment, he was different from others, because he was the son of the previous generation of masters of the Shimen faction. Before this, the Shimen faction was passed down from generation to generation of the Shi family, but in this generation, the old master handed over the Shimen faction to Qiu Shuyu. Despite this, Shi Jingzhai still has a very high status in the Shimen sect.
At this moment, facing Shi Jingzhai's questioning, Tang Zheng thought for a while and replied: "In the next time, I have always had a soft spot for the Dao, and I have to enter the Yumen Heavenly Lock, and occasionally I feel it, but I have improved my comprehension of the Dao more." ”
"You're lying!" Shi Jingzhai had already drunk: "It's just that Enlightenment will never invite Tianyin to welcome guests, it must be that you learned something from my Yumen Tiansuo Array!"
"Stop fasting!" Qiu Shuyu shouted: "Don't be rude to the envoy!"
Liang Xingbang next to him also snorted: "Even if it is an envoy, you can't steal the secret method from our faction at will, right? Besides, Tang Gongzi was only ordered to inquire about the ore veins for a while, and he was far from being an official envoy." ”
Tang Zheng frowned: "I admit that I did learn something from this Jade Gate Heavenly Lock Array. But this is just a bypass for me, but I haven't broken through the secrets. Since the door of the Shimen Sect is open, naturally everything must be said to people, why do you even have to charge and keep secret the things that are public?"
Shi Jingzhai and Liang Xingbang were stunned when they said this, and they were speechless for a while.
Tang Zheng was right, he didn't sneak into the Shimen Sect's Scripture Pavilion, but only comprehended it by himself in this portal. The world of cultivating immortals has existed for tens of millions of years, and rules have been formed for many years. In a situation like the Tang Tribulation, it is not a theft at all. For example, this Cloud Cong Heavenly Knife, although he relied on the Jade Gate Heavenly Lock Array to comprehend it, it was not owned by the Shimen Sect itself, where could it be said to be theft?
Of course, it is true that Tang Zheng benefited from this, so if he was polite, it was necessary to give some benefits as a thank you, and he also intended to do this, but Shi Jingzhai did this, and he was a little unhappy.
At this moment, I was about to say something, and suddenly I had a sense of everything, and my eyes looked at the delicate lady Yu Wanniang next to her, who had not spoken, and saw that there seemed to be something in her palm and the brilliance disappeared.
That Yu Wanniang saw him looking at herself, and smiled at him, to the point of a bit of seductive temptation.
Tang Zheng didn't pay attention to it, but said: "Of course, no matter what, I also got benefits from the Shimen faction, and Tang Zheng is willing to thank him for this, so he will thank him with five thousand yuan, how about it?"
Shi Jingzhai sneered: "Five thousand yuan? What does Tang Gongzi think of my Shimen sect, should you be sending Huazi?"
Tang Zheng replied calmly: "For a sect, five thousand dollars is not much, but for me personally, five thousand dollars is the limit of what I can out." In fact, I owe this money first, and I will give it to you in a few days. ”
"Haha!" Shi Jingzhai already laughed: "You have to owe five thousand dollars, Tang Zheng, I think I will give you five thousand dollars, you take it and leave." ”
"Shut up!" Qiu Shuyu had already drunk, and hurriedly stepped forward and said to Tang Zheng: "Don't be surprised by Tang Gongzi, my junior brother has this temper, his mouth stinks, and he can't speak." It was for this reason that the master did not pass on the position of head teacher to him back then. ”
Shi Jingzhai's eyes flashed with anger when he said this.
Tang Zheng smiled: "It's okay, I took the benefits of the Shimen sect, and I can't give the due thanks, and it's normal for Shi Zhenren to be dissatisfied." ”
That Shi Jingzhai snorted, probably seeing that Tang Zheng had always spoken humbly, and finally stopped speaking.
