The Dark Night Mountain is worthy of its name. The invisible yin energy permeates the mountain, and then turns into dark clouds. From morning to night, it is dark. If you enter it rashly, you will feel drowsy and weak.

If you stay in a place where evil energy or yin energy is concentrated for a long time, people are easily affected by it. At the least, the spiritual platform is covered with dirt and various hallucinations will occur. At the worst, you will lose your soul and become a madman, and your body will gradually be corroded, the yang energy will gradually decline, and your life will be damaged.

As the name suggests, the function of "dividing Yin Ji" is to divert these Yin Qi or evil Qi, which is like a flood discharge.

After the alchemists received the order, they took out the pockets of the stone powder specifically placed from the saddle bag, and then took the pockets to the mountain pass. They drew a very large "dividing Yin Ji" that was nearly a hundred feet long and ten feet wide with the stone powder, which was nearly a hundred times larger than the ordinary "dividing Yin Ji". Only such a large "dividing Yin Ji" can divert the yin energy in a mountain.

As for sending a martial artist to block the earth's energy, it is also for the purpose of "dividing the Yin Ji". If the earth's energy is not blocked and it becomes stagnant water, but let it flow continuously and constantly inject "live water", it will become a classic topic in the Wanxiangdao Palace. If a pool is filled with water and released at the same time, how long will it take to fill the pool or release it dry?

The martial artists were extremely strong and full of energy. Ten people were worth more than a hundred civilians. With gunpowder assistance, they soon blocked and destroyed several key nodes according to Lingquanzi's instructions, forming a trend of closing the door and beating dogs.

Qi Refiners who occupy the commanding heights send out signals with talismans.

Ling Quanzi, who was guarding the mountain pass, stretched out his hand, raised his two fingers in the middle of his food, and drew in the air. A thin red line blew out from his fingertips, like ink marks under his pen. As his fingertips turned up and down, a pattern similar to a long halberd appeared in a blink of an eye, floating in the air, sprinkling with clear light, and the light of spirit was everywhere.

Then he waved his hand again, pointed at the long halberd pattern with two fingers and said the word "go".

Ordinary alchemists also need to draw the powder of stone, but Lingquanzi has a higher cultivation level and can draw the "Divine Yin Ji" without using external objects such as stone powder.

In an instant, Lingquanzi's "dividing Yin Ji" combined with the huge "dividing Yin Ji" on the ground, which seemed to be the finishing touch.

"Fianyin Ji" is called "Fianyin Ji", but in fact it is more like a simple arrow. At this moment, a faint fluorescence light lit up. Then the wind blew up. This wind was not the spring breeze of peach and plum blossoms, not the hot summer breeze, not the bleak autumn breeze, not the bitter north wind, but the cold wind. There were bursts of roars in the wind, as if crying and laughing, and along the direction pointed by the arrow of "Fianyin Ji", it rushed out of the mountain, like a river that could not be seen by the naked eye.

This lasted for most of the time

After an hour, the yin energy in the mountains was exhausted. The dark night mountain that seemed to be covered with a layer of mist was clear, as if it was clear to see the sun with clouds.

When Arthur saw the Taoist priests of Tiangang Hall "purify" the place in an orderly manner, he couldn't help but use half-baked Central Plains Mandarin to say to Qi Xuansu beside him: "Qi, you guys, very well."

It was actually the first time Qi Xuansu met, but he said, "We did this, how could it be better?"

While talking, Zhang Yuelu, who was standing on a big tree, floated down and ordered: "Master Lingquan, Deacon Qi, and Bishop Arthur, follow me into the mountain, and the rest obey Deacon Zhou's command, don't let anyone go."

Everyone took the order together, and the person who named Zhang Yuelu was followed behind Zhang Yuelu and walked up the mountain.

When Shangguan Dun heard that he had no name, he hurriedly came to Zhou Bai. In the past few days, Shangguan Dun had become familiar with several deacons.

Among the few people entering the mountain, Qi Xuansu is undoubtedly the weakest in cultivation, but also the best in the Kunlun stage. Several people walked on the rugged mountain road as if walking on flat ground, and soon came to the gate of Tsumute Castle.

As Ellie said, this is indeed an abandoned castle. Some of the walls have collapsed, all the wooden structures have been destroyed, leaving only the basic brick and stone structures, but the gate of the castle is still well preserved and tightly closed.

Zhang Yuelu reached out and pressed her hand on the huge city gate two feet high. She heard a "rustling" sound, like spring erosion of mulberry leaves. The two giant doors turned into fine sand and left with the wind, and nothing was left.

This is exactly the "Six Void Tribulations" used by Zhang Yuelu to defeat Xu Kou with one move. It is the top magical power of Qi Refiners. The threshold is extremely high. Even after simplification, ordinary Qi Refiners must be able to practice with the celestial beings, but the banished immortal can control it at the realm of manifesting the baby.

This is where the banished immortals are unreasonable. Otherwise, the Taoist sect would not copy the banished immortals and would not hesitate to make a scattered person who is not like the four.

Arthur owned a Sumeru object, which they called "space bag". In short, it was something similar. Arthur took out a giant sword with two hands and entered the castle first.

Ling Quanzi followed closely behind and took out two talismans at the same time, allowing him to hang himself around and slowly rotated around him.

Zhang Yuelu took out his "Dragon Pistol" and

The projectile was loaded with a fixed bag and handed it to Qi Xuansu: "I don't need this thing, you can take it and defend yourself."

Qi Xuansu took the "Dragon Pistol" and put the projectile into his carry-on bag. He did not thank him for the first time, but just said, "I've recorded it."

Zhang Yuelu then walked into the castle.

Qi Xuansu hung the "Dragon Pistol" and "Blue Bird Pistol" one left and right, and tightened his dagger, and then the last one entered the castle.

The light in the castle was very dim. There were twelve cylinders arranged vertically in the hall where you entered, but half of them had collapsed, making the place shaky.

Ling Quanzi waved his hand and many wall lights lit up again.

Arthur experienced and quickly explored the entire castle hall and found some human skeletons, some of which were old, while others died soon after, which undoubtedly confirmed Ellie's speculation from the side.

After Zhang Yuelu came in, her eyes immediately fell on a tattered tapestries with a strange symbol painted on it.

This is a popular decoration in the Western Regions, also known as tapestries, which are woven with wool, while the Central Plains prefers to use screens.

Qi Xuansu looked at Zhang Yuelu's gaze and couldn't help but ask: "What is this?"

Zhang Yuelu said: "That is... the mark of the ancient immortals."

So far, the war between the Taoist sect and the ancient immortals has lasted for more than 200 years. The Taoist sect had the opportunity to completely end this war, but it was defeated by the intervention of the Buddhist sect. This directly led to a series of wars between the Taoist sect and the Buddhist sect in the Western Regions. It was not until the head-on confrontation between Xuansheng and the Buddha Lord that it came to an end.

This also led to the so-called "post-Three Religious Era".

The so-called "first three religions era" refers to the era when Confucianism dominated the world. At that time, Taoism and Buddhism joined forces to compete with Confucianism and eventually defeated Confucianism. After Taoism replaced Confucianism and became the orthodox world, it made Confucianism and Buddhism its own vassal. In the past, Confucianism was the dominant one, promoting the unity of the three religions. Now, Taoism was the dominant one, continuing to promote the unity of the three religions.

At some stage, the Taoist sect had become the de facto leader of the three religions. The Confucian Neo-Confucianism, Heart and Qixue, chose to be loyal to Xuansheng, which was equivalent to the Dazhen person, the deputy head of the Taoist sect.

The "Last Three Sects Era" became a dominant position in Buddhism, and the Taoist sect joined forces with the Confucian sect to suppress Buddhism. In the end, under pressure, Buddhism had to quit the Taoist sect and recognized the leadership of the Taoist sect.

But Buddhism has many things

In terms of love, there is still a disagreement with the Taoist sect and constant friction. Especially in the matter of ancient immortals, Buddhism supports the Taoist sect to eliminate secret associations on the surface, but secretly supports the ancient immortals to restrain the Taoist sect.

The ancient immortals developed believers by secret associations, which made the Taoist sect spend a lot of energy every year to eliminate various secret associations.

Qi Xuansu asked: "There are traces of ancient immortals here, which means that this place is a stronghold of a secret society. In other words, the reason why those sinners collect their souls is because they want to use this to please ancient immortals and then get the help of ancient immortals?"

"It can be understood so." Zhang Yuelu nodded.

Qi Xuansu finally couldn't help asking: "Who is the ancient immortal?"

Zhang Yuelu hesitated for a moment and said, "In the context of the Taoist Sect, the 'ancient immortal' is not a compliment, but is similar to the 'evil god' and 'demon head', and is a powerful existence that the Taoist Sect must eliminate. The reason why it is called 'immortal' is because the means they use are not evil techniques... Some existences are actually the ancestors of the Taoist Sect."

Qi Xuansu was shocked and subconsciously lowered his voice: "The ancestor of Taoism!?"

Zhang Yuelu continued: "There is a saying, "There is a saying that 'With righteous people use evil methods, evil methods are also good; evil people use righteous methods, righteous methods are also evil." Taoists do not fully agree with this sentence, but they have to admit that the ancient immortals are the existence of 'wrong people use righteous methods'."

Qi Xuansu asked again: "Why did the ancient immortal rebelliously make his debut?"

Zhang Yuelu did not answer positively, but asked back: "The power of the flying sword is better than that of the muskets, and many powerful spells are far more powerful than that of the cannons. But why do the Daomen and the court still vigorously develop firearms? Why can Quanzhendao's institutional sect compete with the Talisman Sect? Have you considered this issue?"

Qi Xuansu was stunned.

Zhang Yuelu obviously knew the secrets of Taoist sects that many ordinary Taoists could not reach, and whispered: "If one day all the magical powers in the world disappear, then where should we go?"

Qi Xuansu frowned: "What does this have to do with the ancient immortal?"

Zhang Yuelu sighed and said, "Of course it's related, but the Taoist sect has regulations. This is not something you can know now, so I can't tell you directly that when you become a third-grade Youyi Taoist priest, or become the deputy head of the palace or the deputy head, you will naturally understand."

Only then did Qi Xuansu realize that the reason why Zhang Yuelu knew about this was not because of the identity of the fourth-rank priest, but because of the identity of the deputy hall master. Ling Quanzi, Sun Yongfeng and others were also unaware of it.
