Chapter 167 6 Tiangong Sword Technique

Chapter 167 6. Heavenly Palace Swordsmanship

The Heavenly Palace Gate is located in a stone building on the top of the mountain. There are often little Taoist priests holding lanterns to keep watch at night. The air here is different, mixed with a strong fragrance and sweetness, and a heavy texture.

A faint scream floated out from the bottom of the cliff of the Burial Valley, like a human, a ghost, or a demon, making people's scalps numb.

The two did not dare to stay here for long. The little Taoist priest led the way with a lantern in front, and Zheng Yun followed closely behind, along the stone corridor between the mountains, heading towards the palace building on the mountainside.

Zheng Yun also looked back.

Earlier, they threw the dragon-patterned blood coffin into the Burial Valley, but they didn't know whether the blood man in the blood coffin had fallen to death.

The blood pill of the Thousand Immortals Dojo is a "magic pill" included in the Forbidden Pavilion. It has a certain ability to prolong life, but it is essentially a kind of wound medicine that can quickly heal wounds and even make bones flesh, but the price is confusion and blood lumps.

The people of the Prince Qi Wang faction all play this kind of thing, which can be called the "blood path" among the evil ways.

Blood pills have this kind of ability.

Blood people may not die well.

But the Immortal Burial Valley is three thousand feet deep. Ji Dao once said that there are immortal corpses and many high-level monsters buried in the valley. Even if the Prince Qi Wang does not die from the fall, he is estimated to be dead.

"Master Xian, Master Ji has found the Heavenly Palace Sword Technique and has taken out several swords. You can choose at will."

The little Taoist priest walked briskly, holding a lantern in the stone corridor between the cliffs. The dim light that seemed to be there and not there was like a small light spot, which could just illuminate the stone steps under his feet.

"What is Ji Dao looking for?"

Zheng Yun looked out from the carved window of the stone corridor. There were many buildings in the Heavenly Palace area. Only a few attics nearby were inhabited. The faint light was scattered on the mountainside.

They were all Taoist priests from the Thousand Immortals Taoist Temple.

Unlike Li Huawan, they are usually not qualified to leave the Heavenly Palace, and their daily routines have completely merged with the Heavenly Palace.

"Master Ji said that according to ancient books, when the sky is full of colorful clouds in the east, the earth barrier rises and the sea and lake water recedes, it is a good time to go to the Xianhai Lake in the west to steal the dragon eggs and fragrant sand."

The little Taoist priest replied immediately.

"Did he say when he would return?"

Zheng Yun's eyelids jumped. He had heard Ji Dao say similar things before, but he didn't expect that Ji Dao was really determined this time and really wanted to steal the dragon egg and bring it back to "control it."

It is probably stimulated by the Red Mist Ancient City.

The Heavenly Palace Dragon Controlling Technique is also an immortal technique. If you can really control a dragon back, you will be no worse than Han Xian on the battlefield.

But this kind of thing is really too bizarre and dangerous. Zheng Yun can hardly imagine that scene. Just the image of Ji Dao running desperately in the rain forest at night with the egg in his arms is hard to imagine...

"Master Ji didn't say that. He only said that the good season is within these three days. If it exceeds three days, there will be no chance."

The little Taoist priest looked excited.

It's good to follow Master Ji, the Immortal. Just after meeting Han Xian some time ago, Master Ji went to steal dragon eggs again. That's a dragon egg. If you eat a bite, you will ascend to heaven on the spot, right?

"Lead the way."

Zheng Yun sighed lightly.

After all, Ji Dao is a talented person who has been trained since childhood. Since he dares to go, he should be sure. There is no need to worry about it. Wait for him in the Sutra Pavilion of the Heavenly Palace.

With the fairy crane in front, Zheng Yun is also curious about what the dragon looks like. I don't know if it is a primitive giant snake, or similar to a dinosaur, or if it is really a "dragon".

How to hatch the stolen eggs?

How many years will it take to grow up?

While thinking, the two walked out of the end of the stone corridor, connected seamlessly, and pushed the door to enter the side hall of the Sutra Pavilion of the Heavenly Palace.

The Sutra Pavilion of the Heavenly Palace is not a loft, but a group of palaces and buildings, half embedded in the mountains, with dozens of stone and wood carvings, large and small, covering an extremely large area.

Except for the windows in the main hall of the main building, all other places have sealed doors and windows, no light or wind, and incense sand is placed everywhere in the hall to repel insects and mosquitoes and keep it dry.

The little Taoist priest led Zheng Yun to the center of the side hall, put down the lantern and lit the surrounding lamps. He lit more than ten lamps in one breath, and then barely illuminated the surroundings, showing the scene in the hall.

The hall is very spacious, and there are still three halls, upper, middle and lower. The highest is the jade table, and the lower is the wooden table, which is filled with a large number of ancient books, all of which were taken out by Ji Dao during this period.

Zheng Yun has been to this place several times, and he doesn't need the guidance of the little Taoist priest. He went straight to the highest jade table and sat down.

Ji Dao has prepared things.

There are several long swords and corresponding ancient books on the table.

"Master Xian, I'll wait here." The little Taoist priest lit the incense burner and stepped aside, ready to wait for Zheng Yun to call at any time.

"No need, you go and keep an eye on Ji Dao."

Zheng Yun shook his head and waved his hands. There are only a few people in the Immortal Supervision Department. There is no need to put on that useless airs, and he doesn't need to serve.

Upon hearing this, the young Taoist priest immediately withdrew and returned to the stone corridor. He waved his Taoist robe lightly, took out a professional modern telescope from his sleeve, and stared straight at the west.

At the same time, he also took out a walkie-talkie, tapped it with his little hand, and placed it on the inner edge of the window waiting.

"..."

Zheng Yun was silent. This scene was very similar to the incongruous beauty of Guan Yu riding a motorcycle, Wu Song holding an AK, and Daiyu applying a facial mask.

No more thinking.

He began to read ancient books.

...

In a flash, midnight passed.

It was early morning in the Heavenly Palace, and it was night in Fuen City. Zheng Yun kneaded his eyebrows and put down the scroll in his hand.

The swordsmanship that Ji Dao found was all the top swordsmanship in the Heavenly Palace Sutra Library. All of them were touched by the art of gods and ghosts. Judging from the content of the ancient books, it can be said to be a variety of gods and monsters.

Moreover, most of these sword techniques have allusions and are related to many stories in history. Even several swords that appeared in historical records were placed in front of him.

After all, they were sword techniques and sword moves stored in the Heavenly Palace. How could they not have some origins? Ji Dao was also impatient. When he heard that he was interested in sword techniques, he took out these antiques directly.

But he flipped through them all.

Zheng Yun did not find a suitable one.

First, among these sword techniques of gods and ghosts, sword techniques are secondary. The primary ones are the long sword itself and the matching techniques.

It sounds mysterious, but it is actually very simple, just like a magic trick in strange stories. Under the appearance of gods and ghosts, there are all tricks.

For example, a basic sword technique for killing people from a distance, it is recorded that the sword is raised in reverse and slashed, and the life of a person can be taken from a distance within a hundred steps. The person who is slashed can only live for seven steps, and three steps will make him lose his words, five steps will spit blood, and seven steps will definitely die.

It sounds extremely magical.

It makes people sweat on their foreheads and is incredible.

But in fact, the poison is hidden in the sword. There are small holes in the sword, and the holes contain poison. There is a mechanism in the hilt. If you block the holes with your fingers, the poison can be thrown out.

After long-term practice with this sword and swordsmanship, the wrist strength will increase greatly. Combined with the waist strength and the skill of swinging the arms, it is indeed no problem to throw the poison out a hundred steps.

If it exceeds a hundred steps, it is a great achievement.

If you learn the art of using the wind to control the wind, and you are on the top of the mountain and cut down the enemy thousands of steps away, you will reach the realm of perfection and be called a master of this swordsmanship.

Venom is also the top priority.

The more vicious the sword poison, the more vicious the swordsmanship. Many top swordsmanships are based on this most basic swordsmanship.

If the venom is extremely terrifying, and people and animals within fifty steps will die as soon as they smell it, then this swordsmanship can kill the enemy in groups.

If the poison can spontaneously combust and is difficult to remove with a wave of clothes, then the sword technique can create a blazing flame and burn people to death.

If the blood pill residue from the Thousand Immortals Dojo is taken, then with one strike of the sword, a person can be chopped into a bloody monkey, squatting on the ground scratching his ears and cheeks, with blood bumps all over his body...

In short, it is a similar effect.

If the ancients saw this horrifying sword technique, they would definitely be frightened and shout to the immortal master to bow down.

They don't know the principle.

And this sword technique has many fancy and fairy-like moves. Ordinary people only see the immortal master's ethereal appearance and sword waving, and after one strike of the sword, the person is no longer a person...

This technique is very similar to many stories in ancient strange stories. With one strike of the sword, the person turns into a dog, and with another strike of the sword, the dog is chopped to death, which has the flavor of the Investiture of the Gods.

Let's not talk about the ancients.

Modern people are also confused after seeing it.

People have turned into monkeys, who can not be confused.

But once you see the principle, these sword techniques are... hard to describe, and it is easy to shatter some beautiful visions, and even have a negative view of the immortal master as only "cheating", "all tricks", and "all magic is a sleight of hand".

In short, you have been fooled.

This view is also fine.

Zheng Yun also has a similar feeling.

But at the same time, it cannot be denied that if you want to practice this sword technique to perfection and accurately throw the poisonous liquid a hundred meters away, it does require hard work and many years of practice.

If you go a step further and can use the wind to kill people a thousand meters away, you can really be called a master, and you have really reached the pinnacle.

The ancients were really not simple.

This kind of sword technique is indeed not as good as modern firearms today, but when combined with a variety of poisons, the weird effects produced are also incomparable to pistols.

The key lies in the poisoning of the sword.

How powerful this kind of sword technique is depends entirely on the incredible ability of the poisoning of the sword, and this is also the most difficult.

As long as the poisoning of the sword is strong.

The sword technique is not bad.

If the sword poison has the grade of Haiwei's "immortal art", then the power of this sword can be called earth-shattering.

And it has a wide range of uses.

It can deal with some special situations.

If they used the hole sword in the cave of sacrifice before, and poured the frost-falling fragrant sand into the sword, they could cut the cold fairy into two pieces with one sword. Whether it can be killed or not is meaningless, anyway, the visual effect is very good.

Tiangong is not short of this kind of sword poison. The land is rich in resources, so Ji Dao can refine whatever he has.

But this kind of sword technique is not an immortal art after all, and it still gives people a feeling of minor ways, and the priority of sword technique is reversed.

The sword poison is greater than the sword technique.

The long sword and the moves are all shells that confuse people's eyes. Only the sword poison is the most important. The only use of this kind of hole sword is to let people throw the sword poison further...

There is no choice in ancient times.

But now is the era of science and technology. Since it is just to throw away the sword poison, why not just use guns with bullets?

There is no need for real guns and real bullets.

When I was a kid, I played with water bullet guns. I only shot the kind of water babies that were foaming. Its range was far more than 100 meters, and it could be equipped with a professional sight, so I could shoot wherever I pointed without practicing hard.

Put the poison in the water baby.

It would break directly when it hit a person.

The effect is not much different from throwing sword poison, and it can carry more magazines to directly distinguish different types.

If you use real guns and real bullets, or modern throwers, a thousand meters is a piece of cake, and you can reach perfection in one step.

So this sword technique is difficult to satisfy Zheng Yun.

The principle can be borrowed, and the sword poison can be refined, but the main body can be changed. Guns are more practical than long swords.

Fortunately, this sword technique is only one of them. Each of the sword techniques that Ji Dao took out has a different principle.

There are also two or three sword techniques, the origin of which is very amazing, and the ability is extremely strange, and Zheng Yun can't understand it.

For example, there is an ancient sword technique from the mid-Ming Dynasty. This sword was developed by a vassal king of the time. It only needs to be slightly unsheathed to kill people invisibly, and no one can hide within a hundred steps.

This sword technique is free to do whatever you want.

As long as it is unsheathed, you can kill whoever you want.

Zheng Yun held the formula of this sword technique in his hand. After reading the practice method of this sword technique in full, he still didn't understand the principle.

In addition, there is a Taoist sword technique. This method needs to be used in conjunction with a body-building method, and it also needs to be practiced with medicinal liquid. The final effect is that you can control the sword in some places.

The long sword can coil in the air.

The sword master can change the direction three times.

This sword technique limits the place of use, all of which are fairy continents with lower gravity, but it is still incredible. No matter how you look at it, you can't think of how it can make the long sword fly.

Among them, the most suitable for Zheng Yun.

It is a sword technique involving ghost soldiers, but the ghost soldiers in this sword technique are not the same as the ghost soldiers under his command. This sword technique requires real ghost soldiers and ghosts.

These swords have something in common, that is, there are only a few special long swords in the world. When Ji Dao was selecting, he eliminated the swords without long swords, so these swords all have original swords.

Several swords were right in front of Zheng Yun.

Even the long sword carved with blood patterns that was taken out of the dragon pattern blood coffin was placed here by Ji Dao.

But these swords have a long history and have gone through vicissitudes. The degree of integrity is worrying. There is also a weird smell on the table, and they are some incomprehensible gods and ghosts swords.

This door is difficult to enter and difficult to choose.

Zheng Yun hesitated and tangled for a while.

After thinking for a long time, he simply gave up the choice and waited for Ji Dao to come back and let him explain one by one. After explaining the pros and cons clearly, it would be safer to make a choice by himself.

So Zheng Yun got up and stretched his body.

Turning his head to look at the door of the stone corridor, the little Taoist priest was still holding a telescope, staring straight at the direction of the west gate of the Heavenly Palace.

It was almost dawn.

Ji Dao hadn't come back yet.

Zheng Yun frowned and walked to the stone corridor. He looked to the west through the carved window. He saw morning mist filling the mountains. Fine smoke lingered in the mountains, rolling and undulating like fairy mist.

The moon was in the sky.

The sky was blue.

These fairy mists looked very strange.

Moreover, it blocked the sight. The little Taoist's telescope could only look at the gate of the Heavenly Palace and could not see the outside world.

"Is there any explanation for this fog barrier?"

Zheng Yun asked worriedly.

"Master, Master Ji taught me before that this kind of fairy mist is steamed up from the strange rivers, lakes and seas outside the domain. If the color changes, it contains poison, and the doors and windows need to be closed tightly."

The little Taoist answered immediately, raised the telescope and observed carefully, and continued: "It is not poisonous at this time."

"In that case, let them come to the Sutra Library after finishing their daily work and look for ancient books with me."

Zheng Yun nodded and gave the order.

Although these people in Qianxian Daochang are not from the right path, they have worked hard in the Daochang since childhood. It is not difficult to look through ancient books to find keywords.

At present, Zheng Yun needs to know the problems of Hongwu Ancient City, and also needs to investigate the next two route maps of his adoptive father, as well as the records of Jiang Meng's strange disease. There are many such problems.

Then we need to investigate thoroughly.

We need more manpower.

If it were not for the purpose of avoiding damage to ancient books, Zheng Yun even wanted to move a few computers over, take photos of all the books in the Sutra Pavilion, and store them in the electronic library.

But that requires professional equipment.

For the time being, let's buy some professional gloves and let everyone roughly scan a few categories first.

For the problems in the previous chapter, I apologize to everyone. I did have a disease. After all, it is a science fiction category, and it is a world view that is so fictional. Sometimes you have to deduce the world view. I deduce too much, and my brain capacity can't keep up. I am also a little obsessed, and then my brain twitches and I do something weird.

I didn't mean to use any analogy or metaphor, I just deduced the worldview in a wrong way, because I wanted to write a version of the Ming Dynasty with gods, ghosts, monsters and immortals from the beginning, and the main worldview revolved around the Ming Dynasty. I didn't write much about the modern times. I didn't dare to describe the East at all, so I could only write about the West.

But many readers responded that I didn't write about the modern reactions, didn't integrate into the modern times, and didn't have other organizations. I wanted to find a reason to reasonably "delete" these things that I didn't dare to write.

Then I came up with this idea. Let the remnants of the Ming Dynasty solve the problems of the gods, ghosts and feudal Ming Dynasty, and don't let the modern times get involved. As for the reasons, they are what the original text says. Special events require special organizations, and all the dirty work is thrown to the Ming Dynasty. Anyway, the Ming Dynasty doesn't care about these things...

My view on the Ming Dynasty is dialectical, and I don't mean to flatter it, because in the setting, the Ming Dynasty has already perished, which fully proves the backwardness of the feudal system.

I just want to say that after the Ming Dynasty introduced the setting of the Endless Route and the food chain on other planets, many things could only be done by the system of the Ming Dynasty, because the West at the same time was still in the loose gold rush era...

Please don't argue, I am a person who listens to advice. If you think there is a problem, I will change it directly and admit my mistakes directly. I will never be stubborn.
