The disciple was in the middle.
Several young Taoist priests quietly lit the lamps.
After the first lamp was lit, a shadow naturally appeared behind the round-faced young Taoist priest. This was normal. Lin Linger was not in high spirits. She turned around and stared at Zhang Xiaoyu, thinking seriously about how to stick the yellow talisman in the small package on Zhang Xiaoyu's forehead.
The round-faced young Taoist priest whispered:
"Right Emperor."
The originally swaying shadow suddenly stabilized.
The young Taoist priest lit the second lamp, and something happened that made the other young Taoist priests stare at them. Behind the young Taoist priest, there was actually a second shadow. Compared with the first shadow, the shadow was a little unstable and swayed from side to side. The young Taoist priest said:
"Wangling!"
The shadow stabilized and turned into the appearance of the young Taoist priest again.
Lin Linger turned her head and looked at this scene in surprise.
The round-faced Taoist priest was very proud, and then he lit the third lamp, and then the ninth lamp. Each lamp was in the right position. The shadows behind the Taoist priest appeared one by one. They were not as honest as the first shadow, but when their real names were revealed, no matter how unstable they were on the wall, they would be honest.
One is Youhuang, two is Wuling, three is Xiejieshu, four is Chifu, five is Suoguan, six is Ponu, seven is Lu, eight is Hailingtai...
Lin Ling'er was fascinated by the scene, and heard a voice from the side, saying, "Do you want to eat?"
Zhang Xiaoyu took out the squid strips given by the water ghost and handed them over.
Lin Ling'er took it subconsciously, and then thanked politely, saying:
"Thank you..."
Her face froze.
Zhang Xiaoyu's eyes curved, and he replied, "You're welcome."
Lin Ling'er had to hold her breath and turned her head, puffing her cheeks, watching the shadows appear one by one, as if she didn't want to accept the favor. While chewing, she said, "Do you know? We rely on talismans to cast spells, but in Sakurajima, they also have a tradition called Onmyoji, which also relies on spells to cure ghosts and regulate qi."
"The most orthodox lineage has a great Onmyoji named Abe Haruaki, but I always feel that he is not an Onmyoji, it's not that simple. The main god worshipped by his Onmyoji is our Shenzhou's Taishan Mansion Lord, and the most powerful spell is called Taishan Mansion Junji."
"He said that a name is the shortest curse."
"The devils in the West seem to be afraid of being called by their real names."
"Many things in the cultivation world have common principles. I always feel that this shadow is a bit weird."
Lin Ling'er thought about it and said, "But since we know the name, there is no problem."
Along with the ninth lamp, the last shadow also appeared. The cute little Taoist priest with a round face waved his hand and shouted:
"The ninth shadow, the fish are all eaten!"
But the shadow did not settle down at all, but became more furious. The little Taoist priest was stunned and shouted again, the fish are all eaten! The shadow suddenly raised his head and roared, baring his teeth and claws, and then he actually waved his hand to smash the little Taoist priest. The little Taoist priest was stunned. Lin Ling'er kicked the little Taoist priest and made him lie on the quilt, avoiding the shadow.
She was so angry that she shouted:
"The name of the fish is not "all eaten and unrecognizable". It means that part of the name was eaten by a bookworm. Later generations recorded this reason when they recorded it. You must have dozed off in the ancient Chinese class!"
The shadow took this opportunity and suddenly slipped out of the window. Lin Ling'er ran out with big strides. The other young Taoists were a little scared. Only Zhang Xiaoyu followed him out. The night sky was clear tonight, and the moon was in the sky. The shadows of the trees and the mountains could be seen. The ninth shadow mixed into the shadow of the mountain, and the mountain shadow broke free.
It turned into a huge monster.
Like a snake or a dragon, it made a huge roar, but its body had the characteristics of a jackal, with a human face and wings on its back. I don't know if it was an illusion. The water vapor in the air became thick.
It broke free with the shadow.
Then the shadow flew towards the mountain on the side of the Weiming Sect's mountain gate.
......
"It's a transformed snake."
Wei Yuan, who sensed the change in his disciple's residence, observed the strange beast through the altar.
He recognized the true form of the shadow.
A transformed snake, a water beast, with a human face and a jackal body, wings, snake-like movements, a voice like a shout, and a flood.
He was very familiar with this thing.
But he didn't expect to see it in this era. Suddenly, he remembered that when he saw the Taoist Canon of Weiming Sect just now, he saw that it said that the founder of Weiming Sect was originally a master from Longhu Mountain. When he was walking around the world to subdue demons and eliminate monsters, he found a huge snake demon in this area that caused a flood in the river to harm people.
So he opened the altar and captured it with the help of the Tianshi Mansion.
But there was no good way to kill the monster at the moment, and if he dared to kill it, he was worried that it would stir up the water veins before it died, causing great suffering to the people. So the master locked it in a place at the foot of the mountain, refined it with the Yin Fire of the Earth Lung, and set up a mountain gate nearby. The disciples were a branch of the Zhengyi Sect and were responsible for guarding the monster.
Wei Yuan subconsciously regarded it as a legend.
Many sects and Taoist temples would make up stories for their ancestors to attract pilgrims.
But he never thought that this was also a documentary literature?
Wei Yuan couldn't help complaining in his heart.
Can these masters divide the time between bragging and documentary?
The descendants look very tired.
At this moment, there was a commotion outside. He picked up the sword box and the piano case and walked out quickly. When he ran out, he saw the Taoist priest of Weiming Sect running to stop the shadow of the snake. The disciple residence was far away from the library. Wei Yuan was a little worried that he would not be able to catch up. After thinking about it, he raised his hand and took out the Zhang Daoling magic sword from the sword box.
While everyone was running towards the disciple bureau, he walked into the grove on one side.
Hiding in the shadows.
The Tianshi Mansion actually has similar means like flying swords, but it also requires a ritual. It is often seen that there are monsters in the river in a certain place. The Tianshi Mansion Tianshi performs a ritual. The talisman hits the peach wood sword, and the wooden sword flies out of the river. In an instant, the river water surges and blood is everywhere.
Generally, peach wood swords or lightning-struck wooden swords are used.
However, Wei Yuan feels that the sword in his hand should be more in line with the specifications.
After making an altar out of the earth, Wei Yuan took a few stones and stacked them up to use as an altar. He already knew that the altar ritual was used to increase the connection with the majestic power in the sky. Because of special reasons, the talisman on the back of his hand was the core of mobilizing power, and some rules could be simplified.
Stepping on the Yu step, reciting the mantra.
Take a talisman, but in the end, Wei Yuan found that the last part of the true teaching was missing in the flying sword altar ritual recorded in the Taoist Canon.
This is probably because each school has a different secret part.
Most Taoists know this common sense, but Wei Yuan doesn't know it. When the time comes, he has to bite the bullet, pinch the three mountain fingers, and shout:
"Kill the demons and eliminate the devils, hurry up as the law commands!"
With a crash, the yellow talisman actually ignited.
The magic sword in his hand whistled, flew up with the sheath, circled a circle, and flew towards the mountain.
Wei Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and quickened his pace to chase after him.
......
The Taoists in Taoist robes were originally discussing how to deal with people who practiced the Taiping Dao today, but suddenly they noticed that the seal outside seemed to be loosened. They were shocked and came out one after another. Only then did they find that the snake demon that had been suppressed for hundreds of years had somehow slipped out again.
It seemed that he was exerting influence to lure the younger disciples to try some shadow-reflecting methods.
He also seized the shadow and planned to use it to open the seal in the mountain from the outside to refine it.
In this era, those young Taoists were the lifeblood of every Taoist sect. The idea of moving these little guys directly angered all the Taoists. An old Taoist with white hair and beard cursed angrily and was about to run to the ancestral altar to open the altar on the spot to chop the guy alive. Fortunately, he was pulled back, while Xuanyi and Zhao Yi were slightly startled and had already relied on their youth and strength to run down quickly.
Some of the true disciples of Zhu Weiming Sect rushed to the disciples' residence and confirmed that the younger disciples were fine. The other part went straight to the seal and surrounded the snake-like shadow. Without saying a word, each of them fired a palm thunder. This spell was not as powerful as the orthodox Five Thunder Spell, but it was extremely fast and could be fired with just a raise of the hand.
The palm thunders of dozens of Taoists here blasted out at the same time.
It was quite impressive.
If a disciple was really moved at the mountain gate, he might be directly served with the Five Thunder Spell.
As a branch of the Zhengyi Sect, there is a real altar passed down from generation to generation here.
The shadow was broken up in an instant and returned to the shadow of the mountains, rivers and lakes.
Among the Taoists, there was a man with a dignified face, a beard, and tiger eyes. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the shadow of a young Taoist from the shadow. The shadow was still struggling, but the Taoist stared at him with a pair of tiger eyes and immediately became obedient.
This Taoist has great prestige, and the young Taoist is afraid of him even if it is his shadow.
The Tiger-Eyed Taoist stuffed the shadow back into a gourd and will go back to add it later.
Many young disciples were in the disciples' residence and did not dare to come out.
Only Maoshan Lin Ling'er and Zhang Xiaoyu were brave enough to follow the elders. Seeing this wonderful scene, they were all a little absent-minded. Lin Ling'er had some fantasies, while Zhang Xiaoyu looked at his palms, which were paler than normal people, and his face was a little lonely.
Zombies and the like naturally cannot be in charge of the Taoist thunder method of exorcism.
Lin Ling'er stretched out her hand and patted Zhang Xiaoyu's hair.
Then she took out a talisman with her right hand like a mountain and slapped it on Zhang Xiaoyu's forehead.
It was opened by Zhang Xiaoyu.
Now there was no time to feel sad.
Just when everyone thought the matter was resolved, Xuanyi suddenly realized something was wrong and said:
"No, this snake is very advanced and has fought with our ancestors before. It is impossible for it not to know that it will gain nothing by fighting today."
The tiger-eyed Taoist was stunned for a moment, then his expression suddenly changed, and he said: "It is to lure the tiger away from the mountain and seal it!"
The Taoists rushed to the place where the ancient snake was sealed. After running a few steps, they saw the bright moon hanging high in the sky from afar. A flying shadow quickly passed by the ground and flew straight to the sealed place. Everyone's eyes were about to burst. It was too late to raise their hands and curse. They could faintly hear the sound of crazy laughter:
"Taoists, are you satisfied with my surprise?! Hahaha..."
Suddenly, a sword sounded, and an ancient long sword with sheath fell from the sky and heavily stuck in the ground.
It almost suppressed the shadow just right.
It pierced the shadow when it was about to dive.
The laughter almost stopped as if the throat was pinched, and then there was a blank, followed by an angry voice:
"Who is it?!"
"Which stinky bull nose?!"
Wei Yuan hid in the shadows, watching the long sword flying and the snake circling and roaring, thinking for a while, and stepped out. The water vapor here was thick, and the water control ability surrounded his body. When he stepped out, the water refracted and changed, changing himself in the eyes of the naked eye.
If there were ordinary people, they would be able to see him step out of the shadows.
It was as if he had crossed a long time.
The black sweater on his body turned into a simple Taoist robe, his short hair became longer, turned into a Taoist bun, jade hairpin, and the sneakers on his feet also changed. His face was blurred, from a modern youth, to an ancient Taoist. The Taoist robe avoided the Quanzhen one or two sects. Wei Yuan himself had seen the only Taoist robe style left by Zhang Daoling in the year he entered Shu.
His footsteps were light, and he said slowly:
"I never thought that there would be snakes in this era..."
