Facing the three golden-armored warriors who rushed over with swords raised, the old man Agulis looked indifferent, and his green eyes were full of novelty and scrutiny, just like a child seeing a new toy, as if he didn't know it at all. Knowing that the swords held high in the hands of the golden-armored warriors are actually no different from the real ones, they are weapons that can cut bones and muscles, behead heads and kill people. ¡ê¡Ø
In the blink of an eye, the golden-armored warrior had rushed in front of the old man Argulis, but the raised sword did not swing down after all, and just circled around him like a revolving lantern.
"These three battle puppets that rely on the power of faith are not powerful but they have such clear and anthropomorphic shapes. Are they deliberately shaped like this? Why?" The old man Agulis looked at the murderous look around him, at least. The three golden-armored warriors, who tried hard to look murderous, looked slightly puzzled and asked Xiaoxia.
Xiaoxia was speechless for a while, and did not turn to ask Jin Lingzi and others. This question was really baffling to them. Since Zhang Daoling founded Tianshi Sect, Tianshi Taoism has been like this for hundreds of years. Even if there are occasional changes, they are based on the original, and the changes are not big. The old man Agulis suddenly asked this question, just like asking someone 'why do hands have five fingers' or 'why do people have noses, ears and eyes'? It was really impossible to answer.
On the other side, the Taoist who used these three golden-armored warriors had a look of impatience on his face, but he was also vaguely proud, and said to Xiao Xia: "Tell this fellow Taoist Ouluo to use any means as soon as possible. Don't be afraid of losing face. These three demon-slaying spirit officers are just the more basic means in my Heavenly Master's Taoism. If someone accidentally hurts him in such a situation, he can only blame his own Ouluo. The Yi method is too weak."
Xiaoxia could only tell Argulis: "They want to see what the spells in Euroland are like. Can you use the corresponding spells to deal with them?"
"Of course." Argulis nodded. "Although without the assistance of the magic network, most of the divine spells cannot function normally. Fortunately, I have not forgotten that the glory of Amenta is the foundation of our believers. I have always believed that the place where Amenta's glory shines is our paradise. . Even if the magic net is bypassed, his glory and power are enough to appear."
"If it is the corresponding battle puppet, I can only choose the Sunlight Spirit. This is a weak manifestation of our Lord's will, but it also has enough power in this world. All mages, please be careful." Agu Reese thought for a while, stretched out his hands, faced the sky and prayed devoutly: "Amenta, with my most sincere prayer, please show your authority and power to this world."
A beam of light that was as condensed as substance descended from the sky. Falling directly in front of Argulis. This time, the roof of the Taoist temple was no longer just lightly penetrated by sunlight as before. Instead, a large hole was burned directly in the extremely strong sunlight. The roof tiles turned into dark red lava and dripped down from the roof. , fell to the ground and re-condensed into small stone particles. But no one paid attention to this kind of thing. Everyone's eyes were attracted by the thing condensed by this light beam.
It was a ball of bright yellow light floating in mid-air, the size of a millstone, emitting a slightly dazzling bright light. These lights were not static, but flickered and flowed with a spiritual rhythm. At first glance, one can't help but feel that this is a living creature. If a child sees such a round, shiny, smart and lively thing, he might find it extremely interesting. But the people here are all Taoists who have some level of cultivation and considerable vision. They looked at this ball of light with expressions of horror and caution.
"Such a direct and rich true sun fire I'm afraid even the Five Elements Taoism of those monsters from the Sky Fire Sect is nothing more than this"
"This directly borrowing the power of heaven and earth is just like the shamans of the Xidi barbarians. They are indeed barbarians"
"No. This is not pure true sun fire. It is mixed with a vast aura and vigorous vitalityIt is also different from the simple and rough shamanic magic. It is clearly refined and bound by doctrines and beliefs. ¡±
"How many grades of magic can this be considered? No, should this be considered an innate magic or an acquired one? Such a strong true sun fire. The magic power structure within it is also self-contained, with the meaning of endless life. It should be a power that only exists above the innate. It's possible, but it seems to be a little less rigid, and its flexibility is a little less than that of the Five Elements Armored Soldiers"
Not counting the other Taoists present, they whispered to each other and looked solemnly at the ball of light. Even Xiaoxia was quite surprised by the spell used by the old man Agulis - which according to the European continent is a divine spell. . With the help of the Universal True Talisman, his eyesight is naturally much higher than that of others. He can see that with the true fire of the sun and a hint of true spirit contained in this ball of light, if it is purely about power, The ability is far beyond the ordinary five elements armor soldiers.
Argulis looked calm, butXia Xia could still feel a slightly tired look on his brows. After all, such a magical technique would not be something that could be accomplished easily. Even so, after being able to summon such a puppet out of thin air, he still had a lot of energy left. It can be seen that this old man's cultivation level is considered to be a top-notch master in the Taoist sect even in the arena of China.
As for the Sun Yao Guangling, although Xiaoxia could see it more clearly than others, he could not see it more clearly than others. Taoist Jin Lingzi and others were talking about the doubts in his heart. After all, these people came from the authentic Taoist sect. His basic skills and reading of classics were much better than his own. At most, he could only feel that some of this light spirit was completely different from the Chinese Taoism. It was indeed related to the shamanic magic of the Xidi people, but he could not tell the truth.
The Taoist who had just transformed the three golden-armored warriors couldn't bear it anymore and said: "You can't tell the truth of this ghost hall even if you look left and right. After all, you have to have your subordinates to see the true meaning! Don't look at it. Just a few rays of true sun fire. This Euro spell is somewhat similar to the shaman spell of the Xidi barbarians. Most of them are rough and difficult to control and have huge backlash. In a real fight, the outcome is unpredictable. Let Pindao try these demon-slaying spirit officers."
After hesitating for a moment, the Taoist seemed to understand that the group of light spirits in front of him might not be easy to deal with. He cupped his fists at Agulis and said, "This fellow Daoist Ouluo is indeed quite accomplished in spells. These three demon-slaying spirit officers are a bit reluctant. , Pindao plus two demon-slayer generals. Fellow Taoist won¡¯t be surprised, right?¡±
After listening to Xiaoxia's translation, Agulis nodded: "Of course. I want to see more of these wonderful battle puppets. They seem to have a special status in the religion that this mage believes in, and they are gods dedicated to fighting. Servant? But I didn¡¯t feel anything related to fighting in it"
"This is because the level of this mage is not high enough. On the one hand, he cannot understand the essence of this divine servant, and on the other hand, he cannot condense the beliefs related to fighting" Xiaoxia glanced at the Taoist who was eager to try. , replied in European. This is the first time I comment on someone in person like this. Even if I know that the other person will not understand, I still feel a little uncomfortable.
The heavenly master restrains the gods. The most commonly used spell in Tianshi Taoism is to induce the power of incense and wish. Some are directly used as spells, and more are used to condense various dharma-like divine bodies in this way. Naturally, these golden armored warriors or divine generals cannot be imagined out of thin air. Rather, it has a provenance and occupies a place in the Celestial Master's true spiritual industry map. Some are famous generals in history books, some are celebrities in legends from various places, and there are even spirits and monsters who have done good deeds and are worshiped by everyone. The three golden-armored warriors of this Taoist are only the lowest-level demon-slaying spiritual officers. They have not received much incense and offerings, and they cannot gather much faith and will power. This Taoist obviously does not know enough about the true form of this spiritual officer, so he conjured up this Naturally, the three puppets can only be so-so and not very powerful.
At this time, the Taoist took out two more talismans and threw them into the air, and two tall and mighty golden-armored generals appeared in the shining golden light. The status of these two golden-armored generals is much higher than that of the three golden-armored warriors just now. The Taoist priests obviously spent more energy and thought on them. The condensed figures are taller and the whole body is covered. In the armor. Compared with the half-armored and half-naked man in golden armor, he looks more majestic, and his movements seem to bring out some majestic aura. As soon as the two golden-armored god generals landed on the ground, they rushed towards the light spirit summoned by Argulis together with the three golden-armored warriors.
The light spirit was flying towards the center of the hall unhurriedly. Of course, this was not an attempt to escape, but seemed to be under the instruction of Argulis to find a suitable place to fight. The two divine generals and three strong men were much faster. It only took a few moments to catch up, and then spread out to surround the light spirit in the middle. While advancing and retreating in a controlled manner, there was a hint of coordination in the battle formation. At the same time, he raised the weapon in his hand and slashed at the light spirit from five different directions.
This light spirit seems to be tangible and intangible, but everyone guesses that it is probably the same as the Five Elements Armored Soldier. As long as ordinary stabbing and impact cannot damage the core, it can only slowly weaken the mana flow inside it. The weapons in the hands of these golden-armored warriors are actually the same as their bodies. They are made of incense and faith mixed with mana. They are worse than ordinary swords. However, the weapons in the hands of the two golden-armored generals can have some mana power. Yes, but it doesn't do much. The Taoist who directed this attack probably didn't expect it to have any real effect, but just wanted to test how the light spirit would react.
The reaction came very quickly, so fast that it was almost impossible to see clearly. Five dazzling rays of light flashed across the hall, making everyone slightly dazzled. Then everything returned to calm, as if nothing had happened. The bright yellow ball of light was still floating quietly in the air, but the light on it seemed to be dimmed a bit, and the five golden-armored puppets around it were all gone. A breeze blew in from the door, and there was only one thing on the ground. The remaining ashes moved slightly.
"Thisthis" The Taoist was helpless??, stunned, speechless looking at the ashes on the ground. Maybe he had been mentally prepared. After all, these three spiritual officials and two divine generals were only middle-level Taoists who had not yet entered the innate world. They were most likely not the opponents of that weird light spirit, but he never expected that they would survive even a face-to-face encounter. If it doesn't come down, there won't even be a sound, and it will disappear in the blink of an eye.
Everyone else also looked at each other in shock. Only those with excellent eyesight can see in the blink of an eye just now that the five thick beams of light shot out from the ball of light were hitting the five golden-armored puppets, and the true fire of the sun contained in them instantly hit the puppets. The movement of mana and the body of belief were completely destroyed, and the talisman at the core was burned. Not to mention these Taoist puppets, even the martial arts masters might not have time to dodge such lightning-fast light shooting speed. Moreover, this beam of light is obviously very powerful, but no aftermath is leaked out. No one around him felt any lingering warmth from such magical means. It is already far beyond the ordinary Five Elements Armor Soldier.
"Sure enough, just like those shamanic witchcrafts, the power of the phantom that directly triggers the true fire of the sun is indeed extraordinarybut it does not require sacrifices. There is no sign of any backlashthis The Euro spell is indeed somewhat extraordinary"
"Didn't it mean that this Euro Yi religion believes in the true god of the sun? It must be specialized in this way. It is different from those Xidi shamans who rely solely on instinct and mobilize the power of heaven and earth without restraint "
"The True God of the Sun Master Yuanrong, does this have anything to do with the Mahavairocana Tathagata of your Buddhist Tantric Sect? I heard that the highest magical power of the Pure Land Zen Temple is the Mahavairocana Sutra"
"Amitabha. Vairocana Buddha is also known as the Great Sun Tathagata, which means the unique one in the Dharma world, just like the great sun in the sky. But it does not refer to the real sun star, and it cannot be confused with the true sun god believed in by the Ouluo donor. , Priest Crow must not know"
There were a lot of comments about the shock and admiration over there, but Agulis was not proud at all. He just turned to Xiaoxia and sighed and said: "Without the assistance of the magic network. This Sun-Glory Light Spirit can actually only exist within my perception. All actions can only be achieved through my instructions, and their existence time is also very short. Strictly speaking, it is not a perfect summon. On the contrary, although the divine servant condensed by the mage is weak, it seems to have some weak self. The feeling of consciousness. And I found that each of them seems to be different, not in essence, but in terms of their appearance Does it make sense to deliberately shape their different appearances in this way? "
"Ohthis is not deliberately shaped, but that's how they are." Xiaoxia recalled the golden-armored puppet summoned by the Taoist just now. "The first three should be Taishan Shilingguan. It is said in the southeast of Yangzhou that Zhou Bo, a righteous man who killed a dragon in Longjiang to eliminate harm to the people, and General Lianshan who dug mountain roads in Shuzhou to kill mountain ghosts. These are all He was a figure from hundreds of years ago. Later, he was slowly included in the True Spirit Industry Map and was worshiped by the people, becoming the lowest level god in Tianshi Dao. As for the last two, one was the one who sent troops to sweep away Xidi in the early years of the previous dynasty. General Huo Guang, one is the military god Wu Gongling during the Warring States Period, and they are also famous heroes in history books"
"Everyone is a god?" Argulis looked surprised. "Then what is their vocation?"
"Priesthood?" Xiaoxia understood the word. But I don't quite understand what this means.
"It is the laws and concepts they control in this world. For example, my lord Amenta controls light, justice and part of life. The gods of the four elements of earth, water, fire and wind control all the elements to which they belong."
"Erthey don't have any clerical positionsnor do they control any laws or concepts. It's just that the Tianshi Sect has given them the position of gods."
"Why is this? What's the point of creating such false gods for no reason? Doesn't your religious 'Tao' mean the pursuit of 'truth'?"
Xiaoxia was speechless for a moment. In fact, Taoism is a very broad concept. There is a big difference inside, and the gradual evolution is a very complicated process. The Five Elements Sect, Kunlun and other ancient Taoist sects pursue the ultimate principles of heaven, and the Tianshi Sect, Shangqing Maoshan, etc. later enter the world and practice practice. The concepts and principles of conduct are very different. Zhenwu Sect is similar to both. the difference. Things like this, which went around soliciting celebrities from ancient times to confer the title of god to strengthen his own momentum, was what Zhang Daoling did when he first established the religion in order to compete with Buddhism for followers. The Zhengyi Sect's True Spirit Industry Bitmap has been passed down to this day. After successive additions, deletions and modifications, there are already thousands of gods on it. Strictly speaking, each god has its own scope of duties, but it is very vague and far inferior to Agu. The Euro God that Old Man Reese said was so clear and upright, as if given by heaven, and more like a name given based on its own characteristics. Except for the statues of Taoist Milo and Zhang Daoling that are enshrined in Tianshi Taoist temples everywhere, they are also different. Most of them are gods that the local people know well and are willing to worship.
ReplacementIn other words, the Amenta that Agulis believes in is the belief of the spirits of heaven and earth that gathers people's hearts, but the gods shaped by Tianshi Tao use the beliefs of people's hearts to shape the gods to deal with heaven and earth.
Xiao Xia vaguely understood these truths, but she couldn't express them clearly. Moreover, calling 'Tao' the 'truth' is barely correct but seems a little wrong. Although the European language in his mind is as familiar as if he has been using it for decades, the customs and concepts of China and Europe are completely different. , Taoist inheritance, the subtle differences cannot be expressed clearly by words alone.
Just when I didn't know how to explain, the Taoist Jin Lingzi on the opposite side had already strode forward and said loudly: "This fellow Taoist Agulis's European magic is indeed very magical, but fellow Taoist, don't underestimate me, Shenzhou." Taoism. I am a poor Taoist but I have no talent. Now let me learn from the truly superior Taoist methods of Tianshi Tao! Please, my fellow Taoists, please stop restricting yourself to this fireball spell and use whatever means you can to make it a good show!"
After finishing speaking, Taoist Jin Lingzi tore off the bandage covering the injury on his hand and shouted: "The divine general protects the body and destroys demons."
A layer of golden armor emerged on the body of Taoist Jin Lingzi, which was exactly the method he used when facing the strong man Minx in the inn. Then he took out two talismans from his arms and threw them into the air, and one talisman turned into A Suzaku shadow flew down, landed on his armor and merged into one, while another turned into a golden sword and fell into his hand.
ps: The true spirit industry bitmap was created by Tao Hongjing, not Zhang Daoling. The development of Taoism is indeed a very complicated process. The system of gods was also established to deceive people into being the Lord, but it runs counter to Taoist doctrine. Taoism and Taoism are completely different things. This is not a novel about cultivating immortals. It can be regarded as a martial arts novel with a background of Taoist skills.
Speaking of which, do those who write novels about "cultivation" and "cultivation" really understand what these two words mean? (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
