Chapter 60 Sedimentation Tank

After all, this is not the lair that has been run by the demons of the Zhiming Cult for many years, so except for the living corpses of Taoist priests outside, there are no other living corpses, and it is impossible to have mechanisms and other things.

Qi Xuansu hung the glowing "Nine Yang Li Fire Shield" on his waist, and only held a "Feiying" in his hand. Without the fire gun, he was still a little uncomfortable. Although he had magic power, he had not learned the way of talismans. , very lack of long-range attack methods, the key to hidden weapons is sneak attack. In this case, fire gun is an excellent supplement.

Zhang Yuelu walked a few steps quickly and walked side by side with Qi Xuansu.

She is not a weak woman who needs to be protected behind her. If she were to stand in front of Qi Xuansu, it would be almost the same.

Qi Xuansu asked: "It is said that the Zhiming Cult is good at spreading curses. How do they spread curses?"

Zhang Yuelu replied: "Of course it's not about spreading curses out of thin air, but through a thing they named 'gift', similar to our Taoism's 'dragon eye' and 'phoenix eye'. There are many kinds. I don't know what they are doing this time." Which one to use?”

Qi Xuansu said clearly: "In this way, its essence is not much different from poisoning during marching and fighting."

"There are some differences. Poisoning is nothing more than death, but the curse of the Fate Cult can make people unable to wish for death." Zhang Yuelu said, "Although I don't know the specific classification of its 'gifts', I still know a few things, such as The living corpse of the Taoist priest we just encountered was given a "gift" that can turn people into living corpses. There is also a "gift" that is extremely lethal. It will almost kill you if you touch it, and you will die if you touch it. 'It will turn people into living dead and become what they call sacrifices, all of which are different."

Qi Xuansu asked again: "What is the difference between the living corpses created by the Zhiming Sect and the corpses refined by the Huasheng Hall and the Eight Tribes?"

Zhang Yuelu pondered for a moment and said: "This is a complicated issue. The three are quite similar. Their origins are related to the method of raising corpses in Guge Zaodao, which was carried forward by Earth Master Xu Wugui. Later, Earth Master's successors Patriarch Shangguan presided over the creation project and inherited everything learned from Xu Zu. However, Xu Zu was both good and evil, and some of the methods he taught were inevitably too cruel and harmful to nature. Due to various considerations, Xuan Sheng decided. This part of the Dharma was forbidden, so there was a split among the Eight Tribes. After the Eight Tribes left the Taoist sect, they had contacts with all the major secret societies, and these Dharma practices were introduced into the Zhiming Sect."

Qi Xuansu asked: "So the three are similar?"

Zhang Yuelu shook his head and said: "The three come from the same source, but they are divided into three tributaries with different directions. Because they focus on different directions, the results are also very different."

"The focus of Taoism is not on 'raising corpses', but on the transformation of yin and yang involved. Taishang Taoist Taoism gave birth to one, two gave birth to three, three gave birth to all things. Taoism is not satisfied with one, and aims at all things, so that Its application range is wider, such as Lingguan Armor, which applies part of the principle of yin and yang transformation. It can be said that the Dao Sect has the most extensive and profound achievements. "The swords of the Eight Tribes are deviant and cruel. Their greatest wish is to recreate the Emperor." "Shi Tian', using human power to create immortals and gods, can be called the purest."

"As for the Zhiming Sect, its focus is on the transformation of life and death, transforming life into death, and death into life, and incorporating the application of divine power into it. It is unique and unique, and Zhenjun Siming is the ancient immortal in charge of life and death. The pinnacle At that time, he was not inferior to Xu Zu. He personally carried it forward. Compared with the Taoist sect and the eight tribes who were innately weak, he achieved the highest level. "

"In short, except for the eight tribes who still cling to the inheritance, the Taoist sect and the Zhiming Sect have deviated from the original inheritance of Xu Zu and embarked on another path."

Qi Xuansu asked: "I can understand that cutting off one arm of Taoism and being broad but not masterful. I can understand that Xuan Sheng banned some of the methods, which is like cutting off one arm. There are too many directions for development, and it is naturally not as good as specializing in one. But why Are you saying that the Eight Tribes are inherently deficient?”

Zhang Yuelu said: "Because there are living immortals in the Taoist sect and ancient immortals in the Zhiming Sect, but there are none in the Eight Tribes. Without the support of immortals, many researches cannot be carried out. It is more fatal than lack of financial resources. This is the biggest congenital deficiency. "

Qi Xuansu had long guessed that there were immortals within the Taoist sect, but he had never confirmed it. Since the Taoist sect was reorganized, all that was talked about was position and grade, and few people talked about realm cultivation all day long.

Take Zhang Yuelu as an example. Outsiders value her inheritance as an immortal, and she has the potential to be a heavenly being at a young age. However, the Taoist sect valued her for being promoted to deputy hall master at a young age. She was immediately promoted to the third rank of Youyi Taoist Priest, and she was even expected to compete for the top master in the future.

This explains the difference between inside and outside Taoism.

The reason why Taoist people value status more than realm cultivation is not to say that realm cultivation is not important, but that if realm cultivation is not high enough to change the situation, then each individual is weak.

The power of dragons is close to that of immortals, and some old dragons can even rival immortals, but they are slaughtered by Taoists. What is the reason?

To put it simply, the Taoist sect uses the more to bully the less. To put it more complicatedly, the power of Dao Sect comes from the organization.

People live in groups. No matter what the situation, the organized must be stronger than the unorganized.

No matter how high the level of cultivation of ordinary Jianghu people is, even if they are in the realm of pseudo-immortals, they will not be able to make any splash against a huge organization like Dao Sect. Unless the realm of cultivation is high enough to shake the Taoist sect with one's own power, it won't be of much significance. Therefore, for people in the Taoist sect, realm cultivation is of course important. The important thing is that the level of realm cultivation is the step to advance within the Taoist sect, but the status within the Taoist sect is even more important.

Even if he became an immortal, he would be at most an ancient immortal, how could he compare to the great master?

Qi Xuansu's thoughts drifted away.

He had already started thinking about being promoted to the fourth-rank priest. Although there was a suspension system, Xuansheng was moved by the lack of successors in the Confucian school, and left behind the ancestral precepts of using young people. This ancestral precept was manifested in the special preferential treatment of alternate priests and reserve priests for low-rank Taoists, and in the absence of suspension restrictions for high-rank Taoists.

In other words, as long as he could become a celestial being before the age of thirty, he could ignore the suspension restrictions. Now he can be regarded as having a backer, no, it should be called background resources, and the third-rank Taoist priest is also easy to get. If he works hard, he will be the deputy master of the mansion and the deputy hall master, and he will really hold the power. Any house problem, peace money problem, can be solved.

At this moment, Zhang Yuelu suddenly said, "We're here."

Qi Xuansu looked up and saw that the downward passage had reached the end, and there was an iron door that had been opened.

Zhang Yuelu gently waved his sleeves, pushed open the iron door with the wind from his sleeves, and walked in first.

Behind the iron door was a large square room, which was opened on the south wall. There were various push-pull switches on the east wall. There were many iron cabinets and tables and chairs against the west wall, with various records similar to account books. On the north wall were glass windows and an iron door, through which one could see the sedimentation tank and various pipes on the other side.

Zhang Yuelu walked to the table, picked up a record, flipped through the latest page, and found that the record was up to the end of the hour of the Rooster. The demons of the Zhiming Sect should have started at this time.

Judging from the number of chairs, this room was equipped with a total of eight Taoists and Taoist priests, who were responsible for the entire process, but these eight people had all been killed, together with the Taoist priests and spiritual officials who were responsible for the alert and guarding above, there were about twenty people. Among these twenty people, those who had cultivation were all transformed into zombies by the Zhiming Sect.

Qi Xuansu also carried the "Nine Yang Fire Cover" and carefully checked the entire room. There were no signs of fighting at the scene. It seemed that it was not a forced attack, or even a sneak attack, but rather a means of poisoning.

Zhang Yuelu put down the record in his hand, came to the east wall, closed the water inlet, and then walked to the small iron door on the north wall, and Qi Xuansu followed behind.

This small iron door leads to the sedimentation tank.

The two walked through the small iron door and came to the sedimentation tank, and they couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

At this time, the sedimentation tank has become a fish pond, which is full of various indescribable things, some of which look like catfish, and are covered with squid tentacles. It is full and keeps squirming, which makes people have goose bumps.

With the flow of water, these strange fish enter the pipe in batches.

Zhang Yuelu and Qi Xuansu look at each other.

Zhang Yuelu raised the "Cang Lei" in his hand and stabbed it into the pool, injecting his true energy. Thunder and lightning struck on the sword, and water gave birth to wood. Instantly, the sedimentation pool was turned into a thunder pool. Some strange fish were directly electrocuted into charcoal, and some other strange fish jumped out of the sedimentation pool and fled with their tentacles.

Qi Xuansu injected mana into the "Nine Yang Lihuo Cover" in his hand, giving birth to nine fire dragons as thick as arms, which kept swimming around the sedimentation pool and burned those fish that jumped out of the sedimentation pool into ashes.
