Fried Salted Fish
Chapter 79 The Arising of Thoughts, Startling the Ten Directions of Gods and Demons
Old Zhang set off from Mount Longhu, while in Mount Yuquan, Ji Xiang was teaching the little fox to draw talismans, while also talking about Old Zhang's affairs.
The little fox looked expectant, wagging its tail frantically, trying to build a relationship with Ji Xiang: "Senior Brother, is it true what you said? Is Real Person Zhang really entering the capital tomorrow? Which road will he take? I'll wait for him! Let him see the Golden Light Talisman I've drawn. I can finally go back to school!"
It knew Ji Xiang was a big shot, and if it didn't latch onto him now, when would it? But Ji Xiang said that he certainly wouldn't know when Old Zhang was coming. In short, he told the little fox to wait for him on the road.
"It's getting late."
Ji Xiang looked at the sky. The sun was gradually setting, and it was already You time (5-7 pm). The talisman paper he had ordered should have been made by now, but since he was already late, he didn't mind being a little later.
"I'll draw these talismans on my body first, just in case."
Now was the time to seize every opportunity. After all, unexpected situations happen at any time, which is why they are called unexpected. They don't give you a chance to react. You must have enough magical instruments and talismans to deal with sudden dangers.
Ji Xiang looked distantly at Shuntian Prefecture, took out a handful of incense sticks from his sleeve, and gently flicked his fingers. Instantly, a flurry of yellow talismans fluttered in the air.
"Senior Brother, are you going to draw talismans?"
The little fox's heart filled with anticipation when it saw Ji Xiang take out incense and talismans.
Its own talisman-drawing skills were terrible, but here was a master giving one-on-one instruction on the spot! If it didn't learn now, when would it?
Ji Xiang nodded to it:
"Yes, you can watch my movements carefully, it might give you some inspiration."
As soon as the little fox heard this, it adopted a serious attitude, opened its eyes wide, and blinked as it looked at the yellow talismans, while also watching Ji Xiang's movements.
When Ji Xiang drew the Golden Light Talisman before, it was still in a daze and didn't see clearly.
After that, in the little fox's eyes, Ji Xiang's entire form and spirit underwent earth-shattering changes!
Glorious purple clouds, within flames.
Ji Xiang was kind-looking, but his eyes did not have any emotional fluctuations, like a wooden or clay sculpture of a god.
His left hand opened, and a wisp of Feisheng realm (Ascension Realm) Daoxing (cultivation power) flowed between his fingers.
His right hand formed a hand seal, and instantly, a raging flame rose from the incense stick.
The incense smoke curled up, rising into the air.
The talisman paper suspended in mid-air was touched by the incense.
Ji Xiang opened his right hand and threw all the incense sticks out!
These incense sticks rose into the air, stood upright on the ground, and the corresponding talismans flew above the incense sticks, accepting the incense. The surface of the talisman paper blazed!
Light shone brightly between the mountains and forests!
"Evil-Slaying Talisman."
Ji Xiang stretched out his hand and began to evolve divine incantation characters on several talismans!
The upper limit of the talismans he could write had become higher. Using Feisheng realm Daoxing to operate them now seemed easy! Of course, similar to the Great Power Divine Mantra, which had rigid conditions, still required a powerful physical body to fully write. Ji Xiang had grabbed a handful of talismans from the Han Jing Factory before, and there were quite a few.
"Manipulate Wind and Cloud, Summon Rain, Golden Light, Seal Evil Temple Doors."
"Five Thunder, Bless the Sage, Kill Ghosts and Subdue Demons, Eliminate Plague, Cure Diseases and Protect Life."
"Capture Evil, Detain Souls, Sun, Purple Qi, Calm the Spirit, All Command!"
"Two more layered Great Power Divine Mantra talismans!"
Ji Xiang stretched out his hand and pointed characters in the air. In an instant, thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind.
Just as a thought fell.
In the high-altitude mountains and fields, a rumbling sound suddenly erupted, continuous and endless.
Ji Xiang just stood here, exhaling white air.
Between heaven and earth, on Mount Yuquan, the wind and clouds gradually surged.
The dust on the ground left with the wind, and the beasts hidden deep in the mountains poked their heads out.
Ripples floated on the rivers, and the sleeping birds were startled and opened their eyes.
On the road, there appeared black wild men, singing heartily, they were the spirits of the road, "Ji";
The big trees also began to speak, it turned out to be a thousand-year-old tree spirit, "Yunyang";
In the depths of the mountains and forests, a blue deer paced, it was the ancient deer spirit "Canglu";
The spirits of mortars and ponds appeared, looking like piglets, running away when called by their names, they were called "Yi";
There were also black tigers and flying rock chickens in the mountains, and stones rolling on the ground turned into children, the essence of mountain stones named "Xi."
These spirits are usually difficult for ordinary people to see with the naked eye.
They are not demons, not gods, not humans.
They are like the embodiment of nature itself.
Only when their names are called will they be summoned.
But sometimes, without calling their names, they will also appear.
The little fox was stunned. Just a little bit of magic flowing from his fingertips had startled all the spirits and monsters that lived in Mount Yuquan.
"Senior Brother, what kind of person are you?"
The little fox looked blankly. After a long while, it remembered that it was learning to draw talismans, but Ji Xiang's drawing method immediately made the little fox feel hopeless.
Let's draw some talismans, first draw a draft, just draw a few strokes.
Then light the incense and start simply outlining the overall shape of the talisman.
Finally, add a little detail, and it's done.
The little fox looked at its pair of paws that had nowhere to go, and slapped its right paw hard!
Learn it, did you understand!
.........
At the foot of Mount Yuquan, there was a Buddhist temple. The monks in the temple did not have high magic power and could not compare with Changchun Temple.
At this time, countless screams came from the Buddhist temple!
The Buddhist followers were running around, and a large number of monsters appeared in the Buddhist temple!
Next to the temple gate, a human-shaped goblin squatting and eating insects appeared, and asked the sweeping monk if he wanted to eat;
The old tree in the courtyard, which was hundreds of years old, actually started talking, and started chatting with people when it saw them;
A child claiming to be an incense boy appeared under the merit incense and hugged the merit incense without letting go;
The monk in charge of fundraising was entangled by a goblin covered in red hair, who kept telling him that he wanted to teach him financial management;
Even the stone lions at the door began to play finger-guessing games with each other!
"Abbot, Abbot! Something bad has happened, there are monsters!"
The Buddhist followers found the abbot, but the abbot in the Buddhist temple also had a red-skinned toad lying on his head, croaking.
"Don't panic, these are not monsters."
The abbot had a kind face, and his eyes seemed to be able to see through the layers of palaces, but he didn't know where such a big figure had come from in Mount Yuquan.
"Just an action or thought can cause huge changes in a spiritual place like Mount Yuquan, causing these elves hidden in the world to be frightened out or awakened."
"Dropping a stone into a pool of water, the ripples that splash up can spread far and wide in all directions."
The abbot, with the red-skinned toad on his head, looked relaxed and longing:
"Perhaps a realm only found above the Earth Immortal, or Arhat Bodhisattva...!"
"When thoughts arise, they startle the ten directions of gods and demons!"
The old monk shook his head and said to the Buddhist followers: "There are very few such big figures in Shuntian. Now they have appeared in Mount Yuquan and made such a big commotion. Perhaps something big is about to happen in Shuntian City."
.........
In Shuntian Prefecture.
In the morning, Liu Mengyin went to the palace for a look and found that indeed not many people were wearing iron chains around their necks. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and feel like he had escaped death.
But what he said had aroused great attention from the Grand Secretaries of the Inner Cabinet.
A large number of Northern Garrison Division personnel rushed to a certain inn and sealed it off tightly.
Luo Sigong, as the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, arrived here with his men. At this time, he had obtained the exclusive divine position of the Embroidered Uniform Guard commander. With the divine uniform on his body, his heart was still loyal to the Great Ming.
In fact, the commander should have been on standby by the emperor's side, but although Luo Sigong had obtained a divine position, he was still a novice, so Emperor Wanli thought it would be better for him to go out on field duty for the time being, as he was not at ease keeping him by his side.
Liu Mengyin was brought over, bowing his head and bending his waist. Luo Sigong looked at the inn, which was closed to guests in broad daylight. There was indeed a problem. With a tense expression, he led people to knock on the door. After several consecutive times without a response, he forcibly broke in, but the tables and chairs inside were neatly arranged, but there was not a single figure.
It was also expected that they had run away, but at this time, the gates of Shuntian had been closed, and Embroidered Uniform Guard and Eastern Depot personnel began to search the city.
Of course, the Grand Secretaries of the Inner Cabinet did not rule out the possibility that the old man in this inn was really Emperor Shizong, but compared to alarming the Emperor, it was now the Wanli era, and Emperor Shizong was not their emperor.
With the previous matter of the Fire Lord, many big figures were now handling affairs carefully and cautiously.
The search lasted for a while, but no results were obtained. At the Eastern Peak Temple, there were also constant reports that there was nothing wrong inside. Chan Master Shuizhai had also gone to see it, and the conclusion he came to was the same as that of General Tianmen and Ji Xiang.
There was a problem, but it could not be seen.
So another group of people was transferred to guard the outside of the Eastern Peak Temple. Emperor Wanli was a hundred times uneasy about the Eastern Peak Temple.
As time passed, approaching You time (5-7 pm), the search yielded no results, and they could only temporarily stop working.
After the court calmed down, the poor people in the west city, holding talismans, gathered towards the execution ground in the west market. The opera troupe was already in place, preparing for the opening of the grand opera.
The children held windmills, candies, paper figures, and paper horses in their hands, and also had storybooks, laughing and joking, following their fathers and mothers to watch the grand opera.
In the shadows of the west market, several Yin Division gods appeared. Their eyes were dull, and they quietly watched these poor people gathering.
As people gathered, the Yin Qi in the west market was also decreasing sharply, and the Yang Qi was rising. In the distant east city, inside the Eastern Peak Temple, there was already a piece of darkness, and it seemed that some ancient monster was being conceived.
In the north city, Tian Fengyu came to the gate of the Great Gao Xuan Hall. Because the Yin and Yang in the city were gradually losing balance, he could use his divine power and some of the Divine Firmament Thunder Method that he knew to enter the Great Gao Xuan Hall!
He came to the Myriad Dharma Thunder Altar to find the sword called the Jingzhen Jade Implement Treasure Sword, and then he would take this sword to split open the golden lock of the Supreme Pavilion, take down the statue of the Jade Emperor from above, move it to the adjacent Xiangyi Palace, and kick down the statue of Emperor Jiajing!
The Lord of the Underworld replacing the Emperor of the Yang World, stealing the sky and changing the day, the reversal of Yin and Yang could begin!
"The Sword of Jingzhen, I can feel it, this divine sword of my Great Song is hidden in..."
Tian Fengyu felt the location of the sword and was very surprised: "How could it be, it's actually in the Supreme Pavilion!"
He couldn't come in so deep during the day, so he didn't notice this problem. Now there was trouble. The golden lock of this Supreme Pavilion needed the Jingzhen Sword to split it open, and that sword was actually inside the statue of the Jade Emperor!
Without a sword, how could he split the lock?!
No wonder the Ming Dynasty court couldn't find this sword. Tian Fengyu was really shocked. This was a kind of Great Shift Technique, which transformed one object into another object, perfectly integrated, inseparable from each other.
"To dare to use the Jade Emperor's statue as the sword's body, Tao Zhongwen, as a descendant of the Divine Firmament, is truly rebellious!"
"But you think this will stump me? Hmph, the Sword of Jingzhen was originally the divine sword of my Great Song. I know better than you how to use its power!"
"Since it's locked in the pavilion, then don't come out. Moving the positions of the two pavilions is the same effect!"
"Thirty-six Transformations of Tiangang, Reversing Yin and Yang!"
