Chapter 171 Such a Great Master
After this series of changes, the old man in black was finally seriously injured and fell into a disadvantage. For some reason, his "Six Directions and Eight Desolations Immortal Body" could not take effect. There were not only many tiny pieces of paper in the wound, as if they were alive, but also dark purple lightning, wandering around, coming from "Wu Xiang Paper" and "Zixia" respectively.
The old man in black knew that if he continued to fight, his chances of winning were slim, and he might attract other masters.
In any case, most of the people in Lion City were from Qi Xuansu's faction. If he continued to fight, Shangguan Ya, Qin Hengjun, Xie Jiaofeng and others, as well as a large number of spiritual officials and black-clothed people would be attracted. If there were too many ants, he would really be left here.
With this in mind, the old man in black retreated again and again while sweeping back.
At the same time, a small seal appeared in his hand. It was square, white on the top and black on the bottom. There was a candle dragon carved on it. It had a human face and a dragon body, and held a candle in its mouth. Legend has it that the candle dragon illuminates the dark and gloomy place in the northwest where there is no sun. When it opens its eyes, the whole sky is bright, which is daytime; when it closes its eyes, the sky is dark and the earth is dark, which is night. Therefore, the candle dragon is a mythical beast corresponding to yin and yang.
When Zhang Yuelu saw this seal, he blurted out: "'Heaven Yang Earth Yin Candle Dragon Seal'! It's you, Sun Heyu!"
This is also the reason why the old man in black did not use this item at first, just because it is too famous. Once it is used, there is no need to hide his identity.
The old man in black is the great immortal Sun Heyu.
A great immortal may not have immortal things, which is the privilege of the great immortal Pingzhang, but there must be semi-immortal things. Sun Heyu's semi-immortal thing is the "Heaven Yang Earth Yin Candle Dragon Seal".
Just as the Zhang family of Zhengyi is a sword seal as their token, the Yin-Yang lineage of Quanzhen Dao also has a sword seal as their token. The sword is called "Yin-Yang Magic Sword", with one side black and the other side white, corresponding to Yin and Yang. On the sword tip is a Yin-Yang double fish, which is now in the hands of Donghua Zhenren. The seal is "Heaven Yang Earth Yin Candle Dragon Seal", in the hands of Sun Heyu.
The Zhang family's tokens are all immortal objects, while the Yin-Yang lineage's tokens are semi-immortal objects.
Don't underestimate Sun Heyu, after all, he was once a Zhenren of the Counselor. Even Wang Jiaohe had to respectfully call him "Sun Lao", and Qi Xuansu did not confront him head-on when he was not yet firmly established.
If this incident had not happened, Sun Heyu's status in Quanzhen Dao would still be very high, and he could call Lan Da Zhenren his senior brother, and his status would be transcendent.
Maybe someone would ask, isn't it equivalent to cutting off one arm for Quanzhen Dao to get rid of Wang Jiaohe, Chen Shuhua, Sun Heyu and others in one go?
In fact, this is exactly the problem of Quanzhen Dao. A fact recognized by the Taoist sect is that Quanzhen Dao has the largest size, the largest number of people, and far more power than Taiping Dao.
The result is that Taiping Dao overwhelmed Quanzhen Dao, because the internal strife in Quanzhen Dao was too serious, and there were many factions, and it was impossible to integrate them. Wang Jiaohe, Sun Heyu and others are a microcosm of this internal strife.
The reason is that both Taiping Dao and Zhengyi Dao have a main family. In this way, although the upper limit is restricted, it can also maintain maximum stability. Quanzhen Dao does not have such a main family. It is true that the Yao family is powerful, but the history is too short and the number of people is not large. In addition, there are too many first-line families such as Pei Family, Qi Family, Xu Family, Tang Family, and Ji Family. In addition, most of the Taoist disciples of ordinary origin are in the Quanzhen Dao and the Great Master Sect. They are naturally not the same as the children of the aristocratic families. This makes it even more difficult for Quanzhen Dao to integrate.
The meaning of the geomancer is very clear. You are not obedient to orders and are indecisive. Eliminating you is not cutting off one's own arm. It is better to give the position to more obedient young people.
The Taiping Dao also has internal strife, which is all small actions under the table. The internal strife of Quanzhen Dao is more intense.
Quanzhen Dao has the largest size among the three sects. The Yao family, which represents Quanzhen Dao, ranks third among the three major families, which is very telling.
If Quanzhen Dao can also be united from top to bottom and integrated inside and outside, then now the Zhang and Li families will put aside their past grudges and become Zhengyi Dao and Taiping Dao to join forces.
The main reason why Sun Heyu is unwilling to reveal his identity is that he does not want to tear his face apart.
When people get old, they will not be too angry, let alone act on impulse.
Sun Heyu is not considering how to be angry with Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu, but how to protect himself. He does not want to fight to the death just to splash Qi Xuansu with blood. There is no point.
In addition, there is an unwritten rule in the Taoist sect. As long as there is no evidence and he is not caught in the act, it is equivalent to nothing.
Sun Heyu knew that Chen Jianqiu was a member of the Purple Light Society, but he had no evidence. He had to catch Chen Jianqiu first to have evidence, but he couldn't catch anyone without evidence, because Chen Jianqiu was the Lord of Dayu, and he was a big shot in both the Jinque and the Daxuan courts. He was not a random person who could be manipulated at will.
In this way, Sun Heyu couldn't catch Chen Jianqiu as a great real person, and could only catch him secretly.
Similarly, Sun Heyu couldn't prove that Yuheng Star Lord was a member of the Purple Light Society. The Purple Light Society was different from the "Heavenly Court". The Heavenly Court had hundreds of thousands of people, just like an independent kingdom. The leader of the "Heavenly Court" was the master of one side, so it was impossible to hide and cover up. He would definitely show off, so almost everyone knew about Jin Gong Zushi, Wu Guangbi, Liu Gui and others.
The Purple Light Society was different. It was mainly about hiding and never showing its true identity. There were fewer of them, and they didn't have to show up. The public identity of Yuheng Star Lord was Madam Yu, a beautiful lady with Western ancestry. In addition, Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu are backing up Yuheng Star Lord, and the place is in Lion City. Without evidence, it is impossible for Sun Heyu to directly arrest people.
Another point is that Sun Heyu also didn't want to offend Zi Guang Zhenjun behind Yu Heng Star Lord. He just wanted to pass the test, not to fight to the death. If he failed to pass the test, lost his identity and protection of the Taoist sect, and then faced the revenge of an ancient immortal, it would be very scary.
So at the beginning, Sun Heyu was very restrained. He first discussed and then took action. He didn't even want to do anything to Yu Heng Star Lord, just wanted to snatch him.
Since he was arresting people secretly, some methods would not work. He secretly refined sword slaves behind the back of the Taoist sect, of course he could use it, but the "Heaven Yang Di Yin Zhu Long Yin" was a Taoist thing, very famous, and could not be used unless it was absolutely necessary.
Because of this, Zhang Yuelu was not afraid that Sun Heyu would find out about her and Yu Heng Star Lord.
As I said, there is no evidence.
When someone reported Zheng Jiaohe, Qi Xuansu also asked specifically whether it was a real name. The key is here. In the Dao sect, such reports are not rare. There is a basic principle that the importance of real-name reports is far higher than anonymous reports. If it is a real-name report, then there must be a clear reply.
If Sun Heyu only reports anonymously, it will be suppressed directly.
Do you really think that the Zhang family will not play the game of power? Do you really think that the Tianshi, the deputy head of the sect, is a decoration?
If Sun Heyu reports in real name and lifts the lid, then the nature will change.
No one thinks that Sun Heyu's move is only aimed at Zhang Yuelu, a junior, but they will think that Sun Heyu was instructed by others. In fact, it is aimed at the Tianshi behind Zhang Yuelu, or even the entire Zhengyi sect.
This is to start a war.
If it causes a full-scale counterattack from the Zhengyi sect, the result is not something Sun Heyu can bear. It is very likely that he will not be able to save himself, but will accelerate his own demise.
For various reasons, Sun Heyu did not dare to show his true face and was a little timid. However, at this time, he suffered a heavy blow and had to use this "Tianyang Diyin Zhulong Seal".
Twelve thin black lines were seen shooting out from the "Heavenly Sun and Earthly Yin Candle Dragon Seal", connecting to the twelve sword slaves respectively.
Then Sun Heyu stretched out his hand and pulled, relying on the power of the "Heavenly Sun and Earthly Yin Candle Dragon Seal", forcibly pulling the twelve sword slaves out of the small world of Yuheng Star Lord.
If I had known this earlier, I might as well have used the "Heavenly Sun and Earthly Yin Candle Dragon Seal" at the beginning, so as not to fall into such a situation, but knowing it earlier is worth a thousand gold.
Now it's too late to say all this, Sun Heyu suffered a serious injury, and could only roll up his sleeves, put the twelve sword slaves into his sleeves, and the whole person turned into a long rainbow and fled from here.
Zhang Yuelu did not chase, but went to find Xiao Yin as soon as possible.
When Zhang Yuelu found Xiao Yin, Xiao Yin was lying upright on a piece of grass, his eyes closed, his mouth wide open, and the blood inside was like a spring, gushing out continuously, and occasionally there was a small burst, like a fountain.
Zhang Yuelu was a little panicked, threw away "Zixia", and used the index and middle fingers of her right hand to make sword fingers, tapping Xiao Yin's body, and then she saw that Xiao Yin did not change at all, as if she was dead.
Zhang Yuelu took a deep breath, stretched out her hands, stacked them with her palms facing up, with her left hand on top, and bent the middle finger of her right hand to hook the root of the middle finger of her left hand, forming a "nine-color lotus seal". She saw a colorful lotus blooming between her ten fingers, with stars and dots, and a shadow of a ninth-grade lotus could be vaguely seen blooming slowly.
This is the "Lotus Mantra", one of the six Taoist mantras, and it is also one of the foundations for practicing "Xiaoyao Six Mantras and Six Void Tribulations".
Zhang Yuelu slapped Xiao Yin's heart, lower abdomen, and forehead, leaving three lotus-shaped marks respectively, especially the small lotus at the center of the eyebrows, which was lifelike, like a flower ornament worn by a woman on her forehead.
After doing all this, Zhang Yuelu let out a long breath of turbid air, his face turned slightly pale, and fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, revealing a bit of fatigue. It can be seen that this "Lotus Mantra" is also very exhausting for Zhang Yuelu.
The effect is also quite significant. Xiao Yin stopped bleeding and no longer bleeds from his mouth.
After a while, Xiao Yin groaned and slowly woke up, and saw Zhang Yuelu sitting next to him.
Zhang Yuelu rarely showed some tenderness, and reached out to hold Xiao Yin in his arms.
Xiao Yin was drowsy and said with difficulty: "It hurts so much, I, I'm going to die."
"Don't worry, you won't die." Zhang Yuelu said softly.
Xiao Yin said weakly: "You, you lied to me, I, I'm really going to die, I can't live anymore."
Zhang Yuelu promised: "Don't think about it, when you get better, I'll take you to Lion City to have a good time, you can play whatever you want."
Xiao Yin suddenly became energetic, and sat up in shock from his dying illness: "You sign a contract!"
