Chapter 37: Passage
The four directions and the up and down are the universe, and the past and present are the universe.
The great witches of the ancient witch cult have two special skills, one is the "art of the universe", corresponding to space, and the other is the "art of the universe", corresponding to time. The "gongzhu staff" is the masterpiece of the great witches.
No matter how powerful the innate five Tai are, they cannot ignore the torrent of time. In essence, it is because of the passage of time that Taiyi became Taichu, Taichu became Taishi, Taishi became Taisu, and finally Taisu became Taiji.
Today's human world has entered the Taiji period, from the intangible to the tangible.
So the aftermath of the "Taiyi Fa Jue" was also frozen.
As the caster, Wu Luo was the first to break free from the freeze. She raised one hand again, calling her sisters and asking them to lend her strength.
This is exactly Wu Luo's special skill - "Spirit Art"!
The magical powers of the eleven witches are not unique, but each has its own strengths. Although Wu Luo can use "the art of the universe" and "the art of the universe", he is best at "the art of the spirit".
In other words, the other ten great witches can also use "the art of the spirit", but they are far less proficient than Wu Luo.
"The art of the spirit" is also called "the art of spiritual communication". Its original meaning is to communicate with the dead, but after continuous development, it has produced various mysteries and can be divided into two parts. "Tong" means "tongyou", corresponding to "the netherworld. "Ling" means "mind", corresponding to the soul.
Wu Luo used this method to create the kingdom of God in the world. Anyone who believes in Wu Luo can enter Wu Luo's kingdom of God through the bridge built by the "Spirit Technique" in their dreams. This is the second application. At this time, Wu Luo used the first application.
Communicate with the netherworld, find the marks left by the dead in the netherworld, and use them for a short time.
Most of the people who can leave marks between heaven and earth are immortals. They have been "transcendent" in their lifetime. Even if they die, some indelible essence will remain and will not dissipate. The principle is similar to the return of the earth's energy, and finally turn into an invisible mark and exist for a long time.
In a sense, the mark they left is just a law, or authority, Without any memory or consciousness, it is like someone has drawn a formation on the ground. It has no power and consciousness, but as long as the earth's energy is injected into it, it can operate according to the established rules and then play a role.
These marks cannot ascend, and are rejected by the human world, so they gradually sink into the netherworld, just like after a person dies, the soul returns to heaven and the spirit returns to the earth.
Wu Luo is looking for these traces recorded by heaven and earth, and then communicates with the netherworld to make it appear briefly in the human world.
The power of the dead does not come from their life, but from the netherworld.
This is "tongyou".
The only disadvantage of this method is that after the mark sinks into the netherworld, it is very difficult to find it. It must be very familiar with the owner of the mark and have a very deep relationship, or there is some kind of "bond". Only then can the mark be found in the boundless netherworld, so Wu Luo can only look for the marks of his sisters, and it is impossible to look for the marks of Taoist immortals.
In addition, immortals who have not completely died and those who have ascended will not leave marks.
Among the eleven witches, Wu Xian and Wu Yang are still alive, and with Wu Luo himself, there are still eight great witches to choose from.
As Wu Luo shouted, at the end of the "Zhou Shu", a great witch slowly emerged, with white hair, like silver and snow, and dressed in white, with pale skin. She appeared with endless wind and snow, turning this place into a world of ice and snow, and she herself merged with the entire world of ice and snow.
This is the witch phase of the eleven witches.
The witch phase lowered his eyebrows and eyes, with a pair of white hands clasped in front of his chest, like a bodhisattva, with a solemn and inviolable appearance. She walked barefoot on countless ice and snow On the ground, a snow-white lotus will grow wherever she steps. After she walks away, it gradually becomes transparent and fades away.
As Wu Xiang moves forward, the cold air is everywhere, and everything is frozen.
Wu Xiang personally controls the "Ice Art", which is better than Wu Luo, and sweeps away the aftermath of the second level "Tai Yi Fa Jue". Although the power of Hun Lun is terrifying and can almost dissolve everything, the amount is too small. After dissolving a certain amount of icy breath, it will be completely exhausted and dissipated.
Lan Da Zhenren was not panicked. A black lamp appeared in his hand. The light was as dim as a bean, and the light was even constantly swallowing the surrounding light. The closer to the black lamp, the dimmer the light became.
Because of this, after Lan Da Zhenren took out the black lamp, his face was not illuminated, but completely hidden in the dark shadow.
There are three lamps in Taoism, namely: "Eight Scenery Lamp", "Returning to Cang Lamp" and "Tongyou Lamp". All three lamps are immortal objects, each with its own magical uses.
"Gui Zang Lantern" can illuminate the future. Since ancient times, the will of heaven is difficult to question, so this lantern corresponds to heaven and is called "sky lantern".
"Bajing Lantern" can record eight kinds of immortal magical powers other than the person holding the lantern, borrowing the power of the crowd and others, so this lantern corresponds to people and is called "human lantern".
"Tongyou Lantern" can temporarily summon the projection of the dead from the netherworld, including those fallen immortals. The higher the realm of the person holding the lantern, the longer the projection can exist. There are nine netherworlds underground, so this lantern corresponds to the ground and is called "ground lantern".
The immortal object held by Lan Da Zhenren is the ground lantern "Tongyou Lantern".
I saw Lan Da Zhenren blowing towards a bean-shaped light. The light was like a candle in the wind, swaying and swaying, and it seemed that it would go out at any time. The light became dimmer and dimmer, and a strange scene was formed with this black light as the center. Outside was Wu Luo's divine domain and Wu Xiang's ice and snow world. The light was bright and there was nothing unusual. Then there was a whirlpool-like circular space with only deep darkness. In the middle of the darkness, a bean-shaped light illuminated a very small area, as if a rabbit would not eat grass near its nest.
At a glance, Lan Da Zhenren had disappeared into the darkness, except for the hand holding the lamp.
The light cast a shadow.
Then the shadow quickly solidified, outlining the real appearance.
He was dressed in purple, wearing a golden crown on his head and a jade belt around his waist, like a king in the world.
There is no doubt that this is a fallen immortal, and he is well-known in the Taoist sect. His surname is Song, his name is Zheng, and his courtesy name is Zhengguan. When he was alive, he was respected as "Zheng Gong". He was not only the leader of the Western Taoist sect, but also the husband of Tan Taiyun. He once joined forces with the abandoned Tianshi of Zhengyi to launch a rebellion, and finally died at the hands of Xuansheng.
Lan Da Zhenren was certainly not familiar with Song Zheng, the Taoist predecessor, but he was looking for the mark with the help of the power of immortal objects, so it cannot be generalized.
After the leader of the Western Taoist sect appeared, he did not see any movement. One after another talismans condensed around him, merged into the surrounding void, and disappeared.
Then Song Zheng's figure began to grow larger and larger, but in the blink of an eye, he was already twenty feet tall, like a giant standing upright. Because Wu Luo had already expanded his divine domain and extended the space, Song Zheng, who was so huge, was not limited by the underground hall and was still expanding. His body passed through the vast ice and snow, Lan Da Zhenren, and the blood lake like light and shadow, becoming even bigger than the blood-robed Bodhisattva statue that Wu Luo was inhabiting, and then reached out to grab Wu Xiang.
At the same time, the talismans that Song Zheng had buried earlier appeared one after another around Wu Xiang, emitting light and interweaving like a birdcage, trapping Wu Xiang in it.
Song Zheng raised this "birdcage" in front of his eyes and looked at Wu Xiang in the cage with a huge pupil comparable to the sun and the moon.
Then Song Zheng's pupils burst out with dark Yin fire, turning into a bunch of magic knives, slashing at Wu Xiang from different directions, leaving Wu Xiang with no place to hide or avoid.
At this moment, Wu Xiang exuded endless cold air all over his body, instantly freezing the "bird cage" into an ice block, with various delicate textures on its surface. Different from the talismans of Taoism, it seemed to be the totem of Wujiao, making the black ice indestructible and making the magic knife return empty-handed.
At this moment, Wu Luo's divine domain underwent a subtle change. Under the main color of red, a touch of black and white appeared at some point.
Then the black and white colors continued to expand and gradually separated the boundaries. The upper part was gray and white, as if it was a gloomy sky, and the lower part was gray and black, like a desolate and dead land.
However, in the desolate and dead atmosphere, a white lotus actually bloomed.
The white lotus grew larger and larger, and finally became like a palace, and then slowly bloomed and turned into a lotus platform.
A huge figure sitting on the lotus platform gradually became clear.
The white-robed Buddha sat on the lotus platform, echoing the blood-robed Bodhisattva in the blood lake.
The strange thing is that this white-robed Buddha used some kind of magical power to appear silently. Even though Lan Da Zhenren had the cultivation of an immortal, he was unable to detect his arrival at the first time.
The Buddha smiled and picked up a flower. A flower of the other shore that was withering and flourishing appeared between his fingers, and then pointed at Lan Da Zhenren.
Lan Da Zhenren, who had his back to the white-robed Buddha, instantly had a broken heart and his face was blood red.
At the same time, a large talisman shadow appeared under Lan Da Zhenren's feet. In the middle was an eye composed of the sun and the moon, black and white interlaced, as deep as the starry sky.
Lan Da Zhenren suddenly turned back to look at the white-robed Buddha, surprised and angry: "Si Ming Zhenjun?"
The white-robed Buddha slowly opened his eyes. There was a blazing white sun in his left eye, and a quiet black moon hung high in his right eye.
Wu Luo waved his fifth arm and grabbed towards Lan Da Zhenren: "Lan Hexu, you will stay here today."
At the brink of life and death, Lan Da Zhenren did not hesitate at all. He stretched out his five fingers and a black dot the size of a grain of rice jumped out from his palm again. Then this black dot rapidly enlarged and in a blink of an eye it was the size of a chicken egg, like a whirlpool, so deep that it could not see the bottom, madly swallowing all the light around it.
This is the third level of "Tai Yi Fa Jue".
Lan Da Zhenren directly pressed the "chicken egg" in his hand to the ground under his feet.
A circle of black ripples visible to the naked eye instantly swept across hundreds of feet in radius, at such a fast speed that there was no room for dodging.
After the muddy breath passed, Wu Luo's divine domain and Siming Zhenjun's talisman all turned into nothingness.
