Chapter 238 237 Master Tang’s Magic Power Is Already Unbearable
Chapter 238 237. Tang Tianshi's magic power is already exhausted
Looking at the situation on the Dragon Bone Ridge, it was a sudden attack, and there was no sign or warning before.
This means that the opponent went directly to the Dragon Bone Ridge, and the enemy was quite powerful.
On the Dahei Mountain side, the few people of the Jiangzhou Lin Clan who knew about it looked at each other, and their expressions and eyes were a little complicated for a while.
The first thought in everyone's mind was naturally to suspect that someone had leaked the secret.
The clan leader Lin Che himself calmed his mind, although he was shocked, he was not confused, and there was no strange color on his face. He just turned his head and looked at his side: "Fifth brother, come with me to take a look."
Beside him, there stood a tall and straight middle-aged man who looked more like a warrior than a Confucian scholar. He nodded calmly: "I am willing to follow my third brother."
This tall middle-aged man is Lin Yuwei, the top master of the Jiangzhou Lin Clan branch who has recently risen in recent years.
His cultivation has reached the eighth level of the heaven. With his current cultivation strength, it is difficult to distinguish between the direct and the side branches in many cases. He can be the core of the Jiangzhou Lin Clan, and he can also go out to establish his own sect and become a branch.
However, in the past ten years, the Jiangzhou Lin Clan has been in turmoil, undercurrents are surging, and the situation is complicated, so Lin Yuwei has always stayed in Jiangzhou.
Because of this reason, other distant branches of the Jiangzhou Lin Clan have gathered around Lin Yuwei in large numbers, and with the support of other strong forces outside Jiangzhou, they have gradually become a force that cannot be ignored in Jiangzhou, which also makes the situation inside the Jiangzhou Lin Clan more complicated.
Seven years ago, the disappearance of the clan leader Lin Che and the direct clan elder Lin Feng further fueled the relevant situation.
After Lin Yuwei killed Li Zhengxuan of the Tianshi Mansion and nominally regained face for Lin Zhen and the Poyang Lake Battle, his personal reputation also rose further.
But all this was accompanied by Lin Che's sudden return, and the storm gradually subsided.
Lin Che has been back in Jiangzhou for two years. He has been very generous to Lin Yuwei and others, and Lin Yuwei is no longer as high-profile as before.
This time, Lin Che came to the northern border secretly, and he brought Lin Yuwei with him. Whether he trusted or distrusted him, only the parties involved knew.
Lin Yuwei and the children of the Lin clan who came with him only knew that they were preparing with Lin Che and others in Dahei Mountain, but they didn't know about Longgu Ridge.
The investigation of the leak naturally cannot be traced to them.
It is precisely because of this that the few people who knew about it are more confused, and even suspect each other at this moment.
The clan leader Lin Che cut the Gordian knot and made a decision quickly.
In addition to instructing Lin Yuwei and others to immediately support Longgu Ridge, he said to another old man:
"Things have changed, and it may not go as smoothly as we expected. If there is an accident, Uncle Likong and you will have to trouble us."
The old man: "Chengming, you don't have to be polite. This matter is not only related to your Jiangzhou. Since it is in the northern border, we will not sit idly by."
He also dressed as a great scholar, but his clothes were slightly different from those of Lin Che, Lin Yuwei and other Jiangzhou Lin clan members.
The old man also had the surname Lin, named Lin Likong, and was not a member of the Jiangzhou Lin clan.
He was the real tiger sitting in the northern border, the elder of the Youzhou Lin clan.
As he said, the Youzhou Lin clan would not ignore what happened in the northern border and inside and outside Youzhou.
Lin Che and other Jiangzhou Lin clan members went north this time and were busy in the Dahei Mountain and Longgu Ridge area. They informed the Youzhou Lin clan before they came.
And the other side also had elders like Lin Likong, who led some of the clan members and acted directly with Lin Che and others.
On the one hand, they are more familiar with the surrounding terrain and even the flow of spiritual energy in the earth veins.
On the other hand, if necessary, they will even directly assist Lin Che and others.
The two Lin clans in the north and south have always been at odds. Among the top famous families in the world, their relationship is even the worst. There are often disputes, and it is common for them to refute each other as two sects.
But in the long history, the two sides have also cooperated.
Earlier, the Youzhou Lin clan had supported the Jiangzhou Lin clan, so there was the ancient sacrifice during the decisive battle of Poyang Lake, which was beyond the expectations of the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain.
If it were another cultivator of the eighth heaven realm, he would probably be suppressed on the spot.
However, Xu Yuanzhen's artistic skills were also beyond the expectations of the Lin clan, so the sacrifice did not achieve the expected effect, and he also lost an elder of the eighth heaven clan of the Jiangzhou Lin clan, Lin Feng.
The clan leader Lin Che himself was trapped in the void outside the domain for many years, and even suffered injuries. He returned to Jiangzhou and recovered after more than two years.
It was during this period that the situation in the Tang Dynasty changed again and again. The new emperor ascended the throne and looked eager to sharpen his sword to target the major aristocratic families.
Although there were often calculations between each other, the major aristocratic families who were destined to advance and retreat together under such circumstances naturally put aside their past grudges and united temporarily.
The two Lins in the north and south were no exception.
Although they stood on different sides on the affiliation of the next Tang emperor, that was a matter for the future.
Now, everyone has a common enemy.
Empress Zhang Wantong.
And her wings and minions.
The group of big noses in the Tianshi Mansion was one of them.
"The guest from the East Sea is nearby." Lin Likong's voice suddenly became low, and only he and Lin Che could hear it.
When Lin Che heard this, his eyes flashed and he nodded gently: "Thank you, Uncle Likong."
The so-called guest from the East Sea, among the aristocratic families today, actually refers to the Buddhist heretic, Dakong Temple.
Dakong Temple fled overseas in the past and made a comeback in recent years.
Whether it was the recuperation overseas or the active activities after returning to the land, the secret support of materials and intelligence from the famous families was indispensable.
The Jiangzhou Lin people have relatively little contact with them. This aspect is mainly the work of the three coastal families: Youzhou Lin, Qingzhou Ye and Suzhou Chu.
It is obviously impossible to say that they support Dakonji's concept of destroying everything, cleaning everything, and constantly destroying and reborn.
If Dakong Temple really becomes invincible in the world one day, that famous family will also be the target of their destruction.
But right now, that possibility is too slim.
At this stage, everyone is just getting what they need.
Dakong Temple is a dangerous butcher knife.
The handle of the knife cannot even be said to be in the hands of a famous family.
Since the re-landing, the activities of Daikong Temple have been directed at sacred places such as Bodhi Temple, Kongo Temple, and Tenryu Temple, which are authentic Buddhist sites.
They are also unfriendly to Taoism, but their ranking as enemies in their minds is far behind that of Buddhism.
Now he is willing to come to Northern Xinjiang to cooperate with the Northern and Southern Forests, which is a special case.
If you want a special case to happen, the aristocratic family will naturally have to pay another price.
However, Lin Che was willing to pay this price.
The Youzhou Lin Clan, which is an ally of the Jinzhou Ye Clan, is also willing to join forces.
"It seems like golden lightning..." Lin Likong looked in the direction of Dragon Bone Ridge.
Because the distance was too far, even with his cultivation for the past three days, he couldn't see the actual scene clearly.
But there was a faint flash of golden thunder in the sky in the direction of Longgu Ridge, which was extremely dazzling even in the windy and snowy weather during the day.
Similar to Jin Lei, it is currently known to everyone in the world and has no semicolon for the time being.
Pure Yang Immortal Thunder.
The new Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain, Tang Xiaotang!
"She really came in person..." Lin Likong pondered: "So, Yuan Mobai, a newly promoted Taoist Fulu Sect monk from the Divine Court, is staying at Longhu Mountain?"
Lin Cheyan said: "Let the news get out first, but it's a pity that Huang Tiandao may not be able to count on it."
Lin Likong: "Just pass it over first."
"Okay, I'll leave this place to Uncle Li Kong and Brother Sixteen. You can just monitor it. If there is any change, you can evacuate first. Don't ignore it."
Lin Che looked back at the snow-capped Daheishan Mountain behind him: "Although there has been no movement here for more than two years, and the space boundary is stable, I am not afraid of ten thousand, just in case."
Lin Che said goodbye to Youzhou Lin Likong and some Jiangzhou Lin clan members who stayed here, and then took everyone around him to chase Lin Yuwei and others who were ahead.
This place in Dahei Mountain is indeed the "portal" of the void passage where he returned to the human world.
But to destroy the sealed place, you need to perform rituals in other places, borrow the magic of heaven and earth, and reverse the flow of earth veins and spiritual energy.
It's a pity that there is a problem at Longgu Ridge right now...
Lin Che's face was as dark as water, but his tone was calm: "Qing'er, take a few people with you to implement the second plan."
Next to him was a woman named Lin Qing. She looked like she was only about twenty years old, but in fact she had been famous for many years. She was Lin Che's second daughter.
When Lin Che went north this time, his eldest son Lin Lang did not go with him, but stayed in his ancestral home in Jiangzhou.
Among the young masters of the Lin clan in Jiangzhou, Lin Lang is a genius second only to Lin Zhen.
In his early years, Lin Zhen, the son of the former clan leader Lin Qun, could be said to be a standout, having reached the seventh level of heaven. He was the only three-level master among the younger generation of the Jiangzhou Lin clan, and could be compared with the elders in the clan.
Lin Zhen died at the hands of Xu Yuanzhen in the Battle of Poyang Daze. Later, the new clan leader Lin Che also disappeared. The Lin clan suffered heavy casualties and was leaderless.
Lin Lang, on the other hand, has devoted himself to spiritual practice in recent years and is not shaken by his father's disappearance.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged, which was conducive to the monks' practice. Lin Lang finally jumped up and successfully survived the catastrophe between the sixth and seventh heavens, becoming another three-day master of the new generation of Jiangzhou Lin tribe after Lin Zhen.
His younger sister, Lin Qing, is a little slower and is still in the sixth heaven realm.
However, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged down, which was beneficial to the monks' cultivation. Lin Qing was now gradually deepening his cultivation, and was only one step away from taking the last three days.
Upon hearing her father Lin Che's instructions, Lin Qing immediately responded softly: "My daughter obeys."
She and a few others quietly broke away from the entire team and disappeared deep into the vast snowy mountains of the North.
Although there were not many people, and there were no seventh-level masters in charge, the rituals they wanted to complete had already been arranged by Lin Che, and they only needed to bring the sacrificial vessels to the designated suitable place to prepare for the rituals.
In the current situation, compared to a strong guard, a better protection method is the highest level of confidentiality.
Especially now after the shocking incident at Longgu Ridge.
Lin Che watched his daughter Lin Qing leave, silently retracted his gaze, and looked in the direction of Longgu Ridge again.
I saw the golden thunder light over there, more dazzling than before, and at the same time, there were streams of light shining across the sky, and the aura of civilization soared into the sky.
Lin Yuwei, who rushed ahead, had already bumped into Tang Xiaotang from the Tianshi Mansion.
…………
Deep in the sea, between the vast oceans.
On a hidden island, Huang Tiandao's ancestral altar is hidden.
Two Taoists dressed in purple robes, whose traditional clothing was almost the same as those in the Longhu Mountain Ancestral Court, were sitting opposite each other at this moment.
Qi Shuo.
Zhao Zongjie.
Huang Tiandao is now the only remaining high-functioning elder.
Both of them had calm expressions.
The reason why they can gather here is because of an important news.
The new Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain, who was not recognized by them but recognized by most people in the world, left the mountain and went to the ice and snow of northern Xinjiang.
Although he has spent most of these years licking his wounds in the dark, Huang Tiandao is paying attention to the news from the Longhu Mountain Ancestral Court, no matter how big or small.
"Over at the Longhu Mountain Ancestral Court, Yuan Mobai has broken through to the realm of the Eighth Heavenly Heavenly Court." Zhao Zongjie broke the silence: "In addition, the Wanfa Sect Altar cannot be broken by us alone. Is there any movement from the Jiangzhou Lin Clan and other families? "
Qi Shuo shook his head: "I haven't heard about it yet."
Zhao Zongjie: "In that case, don't act blindly. Why not also take a look at the trends in northern Xinjiang."
Qi Shuo: "Tang Xiaotang, it seems that he came out of the mountain without the Heavenly Master Sword."
Zhao Zongjie nodded lightly: "There are pros and cons."
If there is a chance to seize the Heavenly Master Sword, it is naturally the best.
It's a pity that Tang Xiaotang didn't give him a chance.
But on the other hand, without the Tianshi Sword, Tang Xiaotang's own deterrent power will also be weakened.
"I'll wait and see around Longhu Mountain. Are you going to Northern Xinjiang?" Qi Shuo asked.
Zhao Zongjie looked at him: "Okay..."
Before he finished speaking, his and Qi Shuo's expressions suddenly changed.
Then the two of them turned their heads to look in the direction of the Zongtan.
At this moment, there was a light rising directly from the top of Huang Tianzong's altar.
For reasons of concealment, the flickering brilliance was temporarily limited to a certain range by the ritual restrictions that had been set up long ago.
The brilliance turned into a splendid galaxy above the Huangtian Taoist altar, constantly flowing, showing the appearance of a battle around the stars.
The ancestral altar shook slightly, and a large number of Tao Yuan condensed into mysterious runes, like stars, flowing around the ancestral altar, forming a mist of light.
Qi Shuo and Zhao Zongjie, together with Huang Tiandao's core staff who were currently on the island, stepped forward and saluted the ancestral altar: "Welcome the master to leave the customs."
A Taoist priest dressed in a purple and gold robe slowly walked out of the sect's altar. It turned out to be Taoist Taoist Taiping, the contemporary head of Huang Tiandao who had been in seclusion for a long time and had not been seen for a long time.
Since being injured by Xu Yuanzhen and Li Hongyu in the original war, Taiping Taoist priests have been recuperating and not involved in foreign affairs. Even the major and minor affairs of Huang Tiandao have been handled by Qi Shuo, Zhao Zongjie and others over the years.
Both Qi Shuo and Qi Shuo did not expect that Taiping Taoist would suddenly come out of seclusion today.
"No courtesy." Taiping Taoist walked out slowly: "I have been in seclusion for many days, and I have worked hard for my junior brothers."
Everyone came forward to congratulate him on his release from seclusion.
After listening to Qi Shuo, Zhao Zongjie and others reporting on the general situation over the years, Taiping Taoist nodded repeatedly: "With the demise of the Li family, a piece of our heart has finally disappeared."
He glanced at Qi Shuo and others: "However, this is only the first step."
Everyone said so.
They pride themselves on being orthodox in the Tianshi Mansion, and their ultimate goal is naturally to recapture the ancestral court of Longhu Mountain.
This has never wavered or changed.
"My departure from seclusion will not be announced to the public for the time being." Taiping Taoist calmly ordered.
Qi Shuo nodded first, and then said: "Master, there is an important matter right now..."
After listening to Qi Shuo and Zhao Zongjie explaining the news of Tang Xiaotang's emergence from the mountain, Taiping Taoist looked calm and said: "Let's wait and see what happens in this matter and deal with it later."
Zhao Zongjie: "What does the leader mean... that there may be big waves?"
Taiping Taoist: "Based on the information you told me, the key point in this matter is not Tang Xiaotang, but Xu Yuanzhen. Therefore, it is not time to tell the truth yet. Jiangzhou Lin Clan and other famous families should take greater action."
Zhao Zongjie: "Senior Brother Qi and I had no intention of acting rashly before, so as not to act as a stepping stone for others, but we were afraid that we would not be able to cope with the situation, so we planned to return to the land first and make some preparations. Now that you are out of seclusion, I don't have such worries. Naturally, I’ll be able to sit still.”
Taiping Taoist: "Although I am out of seclusion, you will still help me take care of my daily affairs."
Zhao Zongjie and Qi Shuo both agreed.
Taiping Taoist asked again: "Have there been any new talents emerging in our sect in recent years?"
Huang Tiandao was jointly suppressed by the Tianshi Mansion and the Tang Dynasty. He acted in secret most of the time, making everything difficult.
In terms of supplies, we can also get some covert assistance from others.
The source of students has always been a big problem.
Before the demise of the Li family, he secretly attracted some unsuccessful disciples with foreign surnames from the Tianshi Mansion. It was even the biggest channel for Huang Tiandao to expand, but he had to be careful at all times to be wary of spies being planted by the Tianshi Mansion and the Tang Dynasty imperial family.
After the demise of the Xinzhou Li family in the Tianshi Mansion, the source of students in this area also began to become difficult, making Huang Tiandao even more lacking in new blood.
In recent years, their recruitment direction has even been forced to turn to the East China Sea.
However, the population here is naturally far less than that in the interior, and it still has to face competition from Dakong Temple.
Taiping Taoist asked about the matter shortly after he came out of seclusion. Zhao Zongjie and Qi Shuo sighed softly when they heard this.
Zhao Zongjie replied: "From the leader's perspective, the most outstanding ones at present are Chen Ziyang, Han Wuyou and Kang Ming."
After saying that, both he and Qi Shuo looked helpless.
All Taiping Taoists knew that these three people were Huang Tiandao disciples who had gone out before he went into seclusion.
"Teach carefully." Taiping Taoist ordered with his usual expression.
Qi Shuoyan said: "According to the original arrangement, they should have been arranged to come to the ancestral altar in the past few years..."
The location of Huang Tiandao Zongtan is top secret, and only a few people inside know about it.
But top disciples cannot delay their cultivation.
However, with the passage of time and various reasons, Huangtian Zongtan has gradually weakened in recent years.
"Don't rush for now." Taiping Taoist said: "I will go back to the mainland for a walk first."
Huang Tiandao and everyone responded together: "I will obey the master's order."
…………
Northern Xinjiang, Changtian Lake area.
After Lei Jun collected the Zimu Ning Yuan Pearl, he hid his figure again.
He quietly observed the Changtian Lake after the earth-shaking for a while, but still no one else appeared, so he left the place.
From the point of view of the lottery, I was very lucky. The one I picked out of the two was the one that was more independent of cause and effect.
Changtian Lake here was just shaken by Longgu Ridge, which caused changes, and gave birth to the treasure of Zimu Ning Yuan Pearl.
Although the scene was a bit thrilling at the time, it is now calm.
It's not like the fight at Dragon Bone Ridge where the sky was shattering...
Lei Jun looked towards the Dragon Bone Ridge in the distance, and the golden thunder light kept flashing vertically and horizontally.
From a story perspective, the junior senior sister Tang Xiaotang is the one who wins the big prize.
Depending on the situation, she caught some of the little tails of the Jiangzhou Lin Clan.
Tang Tianshi, who had been holding back on the mountain for several years, was having a great time, fearing that it would not be enough.
Lei Jun tried to contact Tang Xiaotang through the magic talisman, but Tang Xiaotang didn't want to say much. He only mentioned that there was a Confucian ritual ritual arranged by the Jiangzhou Lin clan. The effect of it was to destabilize the earth's veins, distort the aura of heaven and earth, and achieve the effect of freezing the void. .
The sacrificial rituals are both the work of the Jiangzhou Lin Clan and the principles of the Youzhou Lin Clan.
It goes without saying that it was used to target senior sister Xu Yuanzhen.
They really want to block or destroy possible "portals" to otherworldly lands.
It's just that the ritual is not arranged in Dahei Mountain, but in Longgu Ridge.
When Lei Jun heard this, he roughly understood why the lottery drawn at Longgu Ridge was also a winning one.
Because the Lin clan monks currently in Longgu Ridge can only reach the seventh heaven realm.
Lin Che and other top players should be setting up ambushes in Daheishan.
Seventh Heaven Realm monks are basically no threat to Lei Jun who holds the Celestial Master's Seal, so Lei Jun's basic safety is still guaranteed.
It was only because the Dragon Bone Ridge ritual involved turbulence in the void that it was possible for Lei Jun, who was hiding in the cave of Zhenyi Dharma Altar, to experience some turmoil.
I just don’t know what the fourth-grade opportunity is at Longgu Ridge. Did the young senior sister get it?
"...Let's not talk about it for now, a big fish is coming!" Tang Xiaotang's tone can be described as elated.
Then her contact with Lei Jun stopped.
Well, the little senior sister's magic power is already too much... Lei Jun looked towards the direction of Longgu Ridge and saw the golden light over there in the wind and snow becoming even more dazzling, rising into the sky.
In contrast, there were streams of light flashing across the sky, falling towards Dragon Bone Ridge.
It was like a meteor shower falling from the sky.
"A monk from the lineage of Confucian divine archers..." Lei Jun saw this and said clearly: "With such cultivation and such magical powers, Lin Yuwei?"
Among the great Confucians in the eighth-level realm of the Lin Clan in Jiangzhou, only one person is known to have inherited the Confucian Shenshe lineage, and that is Lin Yuwei, the top master of the side branch who has recently made breakthroughs in recent years.
The five surnames and Seven Hopes are all based on Confucian heirlooms and have stood firm for many years. Although they all rely on Confucian classics as their mainstay, each family has a legacy of chanting and divine shooting.
Moreover, after so many years of development, the Confucian inheritance of several famous families basically have their own characteristics.
The inheritance of the Jiangzhou Lin people is based on the image of the rushing river and the towering mountains. Whether it is scripture study, chanting, or magical shooting, it basically has a vast, majestic and continuous atmosphere.
At this moment, the arrows are falling like rain, dense and majestic, which is exactly the way of the Jiangzhou Lin tribe's archery.
However, after Lei Jun observed for a while, he frowned slightly.
Because he only saw Lin Yuwei, the eighth-level scholar of the Shenshe lineage, but not Lin Che, the leader of the Lin clan in Jiangzhou who practiced the Confucian classics lineage.
That one is currently the number one master in Jiangzhou.
The matter involves the "portal" of the void where Lin Che originally returned to the human world. Logically speaking, Lin Che himself would not go north.
Lei Jun became more vigilant, hoping that Tang Xiaotang would also pay more attention. At the same time, he himself slowed down the pace of approaching Longgu Ridge.
The Heavenly Eye Mirror and the Heavenly Vision and Earth Listening Talisman were summoned together by Lei Jun.
On the one hand, the illusive huge eyes flashed across the sky, helping Lei Jun to observe the direction of Dragon Bone Ridge covertly. On the other hand, the Heavenly Vision and Earthly Listening Talisman paid attention to the surrounding movements.
Not only the current noise in the ice and snow, but also the possible contact communications.
"Um?"
Wait a mininute.
Lei Jun's heart moved slightly and he quietly sneaked into a mountain forest.
He looked towards the outside, where other people were quietly approaching.
Not a Confucian disciple.
Instead, there were several monks wearing monk robes.
But he is not a descendant of any of the four holy places of Buddhism in China.
A disciple of Dakong Temple?
