Chapter 51: Sober at midnight, the hypocritical land god The excitement belongs to the Eight Immortals. Tao Tie has nothing, but he doesn't feel lonely. Even watching this scene with great joy. Dharma, wealth, companions and place are the four elements of spiritual practice. Tao Tie had already realized the importance of law, money and land. Tao Tie originally didn't quite understand how important a partner was and how they played a role. It was as if he had gone back in time and watched the Eight Immortals feasting, discussing Taoism, slashing swords, and drinking. Only then did he realize that Taoist companions really could share the same ideals and could really promote each other. "Where is my Taoist companion?" In addition to envy, Tao Tie sighed in his heart.
He naturally came out of the state of watching the banquet of the Eight Immortals and slowly opened his eyes. There are no Eight Immortals or brilliant stars on the top of the mountain, only a wooden wine glass that spins and floats in the wind. Tao Tie stretched out his hand, took the wine glass back into his hand, and used [Knowledge of All Things] as usual. [Rare Item: A wine glass that held a ray of Taiyi sword light and a trace of Taiji Yuanqi] [Information fragment 1: Wine doesn’t make people drunk, people get drunk themselves, and there is still a taste of wine in the cup. ] [Information fragment 2: Wine is coming! ] [Information fragment three: Incorporating it into the "Taotie Visualization Method" may have miraculous effects. ] "Ok?" Tao Tie was quite surprised when he saw the familiar content in the third message fragment, and then he became expectant. He did not hesitate or waste time, but did it immediately. [Rare Item: A wine glass that held a ray of Taiyi sword light and a trace of Taiji Yuanqi] [Status: Taotie is visualizing] [Information fragment 1: Pour a bowl of water, place the wine worm in it, crush the wine worm with the earthly evil technique "swordsmanship", leave it under the moonlight for a quarter of an hour, burn the copy of "Taiyi Fenguang Sword Art" into ashes, and swallow it with wine. Eating it may help you learn "Taiyi Fenguang Sword Art".] [Information fragment 2: What are you waiting for? Quick! Quick! Quick! ] [Information fragment three: The sword is coming! ] "Is there such a good thing?" After carefully browsing the new information fragments, Tao Tie couldn't help but laugh. Family members, who knows? It's such a shame that I have worked hard for two months but can't even get started with the Taiyi Fenguang Sword Technique! Now we have a great opportunity to avenge our past shame, so of course we must seize it.
Without further ado, Tao Tie immediately used the magic spell "Clear Water Like Spring". A stream of clear spring appeared out of nowhere, gurgling and flowing into the wooden wine glass. The coral-red wine bugs tinkled as they fell into the clear spring water. The index and middle fingers of the right hand formed a sword finger, and with a point in the air, the faint light of the Earthly Evil Technique "Sword Technique" fell on the red wine worms floating in the clear spring water. In an instant, the wine worms were crushed into powder and evenly mixed into the clear spring water. The bright moonlight was immediately attracted. Tao Tie waited patiently. One breath, two breaths, three breaths... After waiting for a quarter of an hour, the clear spring water in the wine glass suddenly changed in quality. The originally clear and pure spring water suddenly became cold and sharp, like the light of a sword. Tao Tie did not dare to delay and immediately visualized Taotie and was about to drink up the wine in the glass in one gulp. When I picked up the wine glass, I suddenly felt that being so impatient was inappropriate and impolite. After taking a sip of alcohol, Tao Tie let go of the wine glass in his hand. Put your hands together in front of your chest, with the left hand outside and the right hand inside, push your palms forward, bend your body slightly, and bow solemnly. While bowing, he said, "Junior Tao Tie, I would like to thank the Eight Immortals." After saying that, he bowed deeply. "Drink victory!" After paying his respects and standing up, Tao Tie picked up the wine glass again and said something softly. Then he tilted his head back and drank the ash from the rubbing and the wine in the glass. When I took it on the first day, I didn't feel anything different. After the wine went down his stomach, Tao Tie felt something different. He intuitively felt the unrivaled sharpness that was enough to traverse the nine heavens and ten earths. He closed his eyes subconsciously. I immediately heard a sound like a huge bell. "I have a sword, please judge it." clank! The dragon roared, the sword was unsheathed, crisscrossing the sky, all the swords returned to their origin, shaking the galaxy. clank! The dragon's roar sounded again, one, two, four, four, eight.
Qian, Dui, Li, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Gen, Kun. The innate Bagua and the innate eight swordsmen, first move forward, split into thousands of lights, and then move backward, and the chaos becomes one. When this sword comes out, the sun and the moon lose their luster, the stars lose their light, and I am invincible. It can be said to be the most exquisite swordsmanship in the world. Tao Tie was drunk unconsciously. I am drunk on wine, and even more drunk on sword. I hope I can stay drunk forever and never wake up. [Exercise: 4. Taiyi Light-Splitting Sword Technique (Entry Level, Progress: 99%) (Feature: Drunken Dance)] Fortunately, the information update of [Knowing Everything] awakened Tao Tie in time and prevented him from being immersed in it. After two months of not being able to master the Taiyi Fenguang Sword Technique, he instantly reached the entry level with this opportunity. Just one step away from mastery. This improvement is a bit exaggerated, but not too outrageous. After all, it was the Eight Immortals who preached in person. Tao Tie also took out a wisp of "mountain" energy, a wisp of "earth" energy, and a wine worm worth three hundred to five hundred taels of gold as a bonus. If Tao Tie had been able to give out the eight energies of "Heaven", "Marsh", "Fire", "Thunder", "Wind", "Water", "Mountain" and "Earth" beforehand, and then take out the Yin and Yang flying swords and merge them into them, he would probably be able to go directly to perfection from not even getting started. Even if it cannot be perfect, it must at least be (Mastery, Progress: 99%). Of course, there is no need to talk about things that didn't happen. Compared with assumptions, Tao Tie is more concerned with the present. He slowly opened his eyes, and spent a lot of effort to prevent the sword light from emitting from his eyes. The moon was already at its zenith, and the world was very quiet. Tao Tie stood on the top of the mountain, suddenly feeling lost and lonely. Finding the opportunities left by predecessors and realizing the truth under the moon is a very beautiful thing. However, some people refuse to give up and come to disturb us, causing unnecessary trouble, which is really a pity and makes people feel regretful. "Ugh!" With a light sigh, Tao Tie swung his sword finger with his right hand and shouted, "Go." Zheng…… The top-grade yellow magic sword worn at the waist was unsheathed, shining with cold light and hanging in the air. "Don't hide, I see you." Tao Tielang shouted softly.
This is not a lie or a threat, but a fact. Climbing the mountain alone, he was first immersed in the beautiful scenery of the mountains, and then became intoxicated by the Taiyi Fenguan Sword Art. How could Tao Tie dare not be on guard? It is true that the physical supernatural powers [Clairvoyance] and [Super Ear] should not be maintained in active mode for a long time, but the passive mode is enough for Tao Tie to maintain a keen perception of a certain range around him. Not to mention being aware of every little movement, at least one wouldn't even be aware of someone with bad intentions approaching. What's more, although the ghost girl of the Eight Immortals Mountain is in a deep sleep, she is not completely isolated from the outside world. When Tao Tie sang while climbing the mountain, the mountain ghost girl responded. When he reached the top of the mountain, he found the opportunity left by the Eight Immortals by chance, and the mountain ghost girl also took the initiative to cooperate. Otherwise, how could the scenes of the Eight Immortals feasting, discussing Taoism, performing magic, and slashing with swords many years ago be reproduced so easily? Suddenly, someone approaches and wants to do something bad to Tao Tie. The mountain ghost girl cannot stop him personally, but she can give him a warning. Combining these two factors, Tao Tiewu would be in danger of a surprise attack. The "person" who was hiding in secret was discovered and did not respond, but just launched an attack. Suddenly, a strong wind blew up from the top of the mountain. The pine trees rooted in the rocks shook violently and were blown all over the place. A clanging sound suddenly rang out, as if someone in heavy boots was charging into the battle line with heavy steps. In an instant, a huge ghost suddenly appeared on the top of a mountain where no one was around. This big ghost was over ten feet tall. His face looked like the color of a ripe pumpkin in the moonlight. His eyes flickered like xenon headlights. The mouth was as wide as a basin, with a few sparsely spaced teeth about three inches long. As the tongue moved, a wheezing sound like a broken bellows came from the throat. It waved its two huge claws with sharp nails and grabbed Tao Tie. The momentum was quite huge, but the attack method and strength were like child's play. He is not even as good as the evil spirits and monsters, and is just like the red-haired ghost in Chang'an Village, a mere appearance. Tao Tie frowned slightly, feeling puzzled, but did not stand there in a daze. His mind moved, and he shouted: "Dun (dùn)." "Taiyi Fenguan Sword Art" is the Dun Sword, one of the eighty-eight sixty-four swords of the innate eight swords. There are mountains in the world, and you can hide in them; a gentleman should stay away from villains, not being hateful but strict. The magic sword hanging in the air obeyed the order and suddenly turned sideways, facing the attacking big ghost with one sword body. The awe-inspiring and inviolable majesty emanates from the sword of magic. The vast sword light suddenly became brighter. The big ghost that was charging into the battle formation saw the sword light and felt its majestic power, and was instantly frightened like a mouse seeing a cat. How dare you continue to move forward? The clanging sounds rang out one after another, and the big ghost was frightened and retreated again and again. After only a few steps back, he lost his rhythm, stumbled over his front feet, and sat down awkwardly on the ground.
Tao Tie hesitated for a moment, then made up his mind and shouted again: "Great." "Taiyi Fenguan Sword Art" is the Dayou Sword, one of the eighty-eight sixty-four swords of the Eight Innate Swords. Fire is in the sky, which means great fortune. A gentleman should suppress evil and promote good, and live in accordance with the will of heaven. The magic sword, with the blade facing the big ghost, immediately restrained its domineering majesty after receiving the order, turned around quickly, and pointed the tip of the sword at the big ghost who was sitting on the ground and unable to move. If you want to curb evil and promote good, you must use drastic measures. The magic sword turned into a ray of lightning and stabbed down with a lightning speed. The big ghost had no power to resist and was instantly pierced by the magic sword. The sharp and cold sword energy burst out in all directions, tearing the big ghost into pieces in an instant. Wow… The howling wind blew away the shattered pieces of the big ghost. "Ugh!" Tao Tie sighed, feeling a little unhappy. I have just learned the "Taiyi Fenguan Sword Art" and reached the level of (entry level, progress: 99%) in one step. He also wanted to practice with the "human" and have a good fight. Not to mention using all 8864 swords, at least let him try a few more. What came was such inferior stuff. What a bummer! After sighing, Tao Tie's mind moved, he formed a sword gesture, and sheathed the magic sword. He immediately turned around and looked at the pine tree that was swaying the least in the howling wind, and said indifferently, "Don't play such tricks. It's meaningless. Come out." The pine tree shook a few more times before it finally stabilized. The whistling wind stopped. The top of Mount Baxian returned to its previous tranquility. A Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe but exuding the scent of incense and offerings walked out from the pine trees. The moonlight shone on the Taoist, but there was no shadow. Although they had had two unpleasant experiences, Tao Tie still took the initiative to greet them out of courtesy: "I am Tao Tie, a student at the Liuxian County Missionary Academy. I am honored to meet the God of the Eight Immortals." The Taoist bowed and saluted, and returned the greeting: "Yu Fan, the Earth God of the Eight Immortals, greets Taoist friend Tao." After exchanging greetings, Tao Tie did not want to beat around the bush and asked directly: "The reputation of the Earth God has always been good, why would he do something that harms others and does not benefit himself?" Taoist Yu Fan, the local god of the Eight Immortals, fell silent upon hearing this. The so-called things that hurt others and did not benefit oneself that Tao Tie mentioned were naturally referring to the situation a few days ago when Taoist Yu Han drove the red-haired ghost to "intimidate" Du Bo, who raised the golden monkey Lulu. After failing to intimidate him twice, he created a white ghost and ghost cries in the middle of the night in Chang'an Village.
As for the attack launched by the pumpkin-skin ghost earlier, it was more like Taoist Yu Han venting his anger than an attack. There was no real intention to hurt Tao Tie, nor was there any damage to Tao Tie's ability. No need to worry too much. "Harming others but not benefiting oneself?" After a moment of silence, Taoist Yu Han sneered and said coldly, "If you hadn't intervened, how could you harm others without benefiting yourself? You are very selfish!" After a brief pause, Taoist Yu Han raised his voice slightly: “In terms of cultivation, I was a sixth-rank cultivator in my lifetime; in terms of origin, I am a direct descendant of the Yu family in Cangyun Prefecture, and an inner disciple of Jingling Mountain; in terms of achievements, I have killed evil dragons in the river, slayed demons and monsters, and saved the dying and the wounded… No matter which one, I am qualified to be the mountain god of the Eight Immortals Mountain, and not just an eighth-rank red and white deity of the Eight Immortals! How could that stubborn stone have the virtue and ability to possess the body of a mountain ghost and steal the position of the seventh-rank red god of the mountain. Since the imperial court has ignored it and is unwilling to cut down mountains and destroy temples to eradicate obscene sacrifices! Then why not I find a way to sit on the throne of the mountain god myself? not to mention……" At this point, Taoist Yu Han sneered: "It wasn't me who hurt the stubborn stone and drove it out of the Eight Immortals Mountain! If I had not discovered the strangeness of the monkey when I was inspecting Chang'an Village, I would not have known that the stubborn stone had met with misfortune. I just regret that I learned the news too late, so that just when I took action, it was ruined by you guys!" I don't know what emotion aroused him, but Taoist Yu Han suddenly became excited and seemed to have gone mad: "It's all your fault! It's all your fault! If it weren't for you, I would have become the god of the Eight Immortals Mountain! Instead of being like now, revealing one's whereabouts as soon as entering the mountain. What exactly is it about me that is inferior to that stubborn stone? Why do you all want to leave the position of mountain god to that stubborn stone, but are unwilling to give it to me? Is it because it picked a fruit for the immortal to eat? what? " Tao Tie listened quietly to the words of Taoist Yu Fan, the local god of the Eight Immortals Township, which sounded more like he was surrendering himself or clarifying suspicion than complaining and roaring. There was no expression on his face and no ripples in his heart. What cultivation, background, achievements, the God of Land, the stubborn stone, the mountain god, none of them have anything to do with him. He didn't ask that question out of curiosity. It was just an opportunity for Taoist Yu Fan, who "knew the law" but "broke the law" and embezzled money, to plead his case on behalf of Instructor Huang Junshi, who was about to take up the post of Chief of the Immortal God Department of Liuxian County. After all, as the local god of Baxian Township, he should protect the peace of the five villages under the jurisdiction of Baxian Township. However, he drove the ghosts he raised privately to intimidate the villagers, which was really wrong. If things got serious, Instructor Huang Junshi would have enough reasons to use Taoist Yu Fan as a chicken and kill him in front of the monkeys as soon as he took office, just to establish his authority. Yuanyang Temple was concerned about Taoist Yu Han's background as a direct descendant of the Yu family in Cangyun Prefecture and an inner sect disciple of Jingling Mountain, so it chose to turn a blind eye and was unwilling and afraid to intervene. Huang Junshi is not afraid. If we really have a falling out, the worst that can happen is that no one will live a peaceful life. Considering that he was now representing Instructor Huang Junshi, Tao Tie felt that he was not afraid.
Then there is no need to allow Taoist Yu Fan from Cangyun Prefecture to keep grumbling like a nagging woman. He himself didn't think there was anything wrong with this, but Tao Tie didn't want to pollute his ears. Thinking this in his heart, Tao Tie also sneered and said in a sarcastic tone: "Noisy!" "If you really have the qualifications to be a mountain god, you would have done it long ago. Why are you still nagging at this moment?" "You don't have that ability, you know that?" "Shut up now!" "Don't let the defeated dog wail here!" (End of this chapter)
