Volume 2: The Demonic World Chapter 105 Competition
In the main hall of Xishan Sect, the sacrificial ceremony has officially begun. After the names of the representatives of various sects are called, they will step forward to perform the ceremony and burn incense to the many enshrined gods.
"The Mangshan Sect invites you to burn incense and perform the ceremony!"
"Yanshan Sect invites you to hold the incense ceremony!"
…
As the representatives of each sect came to an end, the elder of Xishan Sect who was in charge of the ceremony also called Gongsun Zhan and Lin Qianxing to the Sanbao Temple.
"The leader of the Lushan Sanbao Temple invites you to hold incense and offer sacrifices."
Gongsun Zhan straightened his clothes and brought Lin Qianxing to the center of the hall. The two of them each took a stick of incense from the incense-burning boy beside them, and then bowed respectfully, expressing their respect for these Yin gods who maintain the order of heaven and earth.
The long ceremony took most of the day.
The stage of worshiping gods before the ceremony is considered over.
Then it was the turn of the exchange meeting among many sorcerers.
It is not a good idea to work in isolation, so the spell casters will always take this opportunity to communicate and gain some practice experience from their peers.
In the Xishan Sect's martial arts arena, the Xishan Sect, as the organizer, let its disciples take the lead to perform some boxing and kicking skills by blessing the incantations, and also performed several heavenly and earthly incantations.
Seeing this situation, some sects could no longer hold back and soon sent their disciples onto the stage.
"Li Liang from Xianshan Sect, please give me some advice, Senior Brother from Xishan Sect."
As the voice fell, a faint golden light flashed, and a figure rushed out and landed in the martial arts field.
"Lü Ben!" The disciple of Xishan Sect returned the greeting.
The two sides exchanged a slight greeting and then began to fight.
This is the main purpose of Luotian Dajiao.
Many sects would bring their better-trained disciples to compete here and show off their skills to each other, which also provided a convenient opportunity for to communicate with each other.
As for why they don’t do it themselves?
We are all people of status and position, is it appropriate to just do whatever we want?
Besides, with their skills, if they fight, even if it doesn't cause an earthquake, it will be enough to change the terrain.
How can we fight easily?
It's also possible to simply demonstrate the Taoism without using one's full strength, but that won't serve much of a communication purpose.
Letting the disciples take action can not only train them, but they can also better see some subtleties of the spells and identify the omissions.
The most important thing is that even if the disciples accidentally use too much force, they can quickly stop it so as not to damage the harmony.
If these leaders start fighting each other, no one can stop them easily if they really want to.
It is said that the Xianshan sect where Li Liang belonged was a lineage of Vajra Mantra Master. After casting a bunch of spells on him, he quickly defeated Lu Ben.
Seeing this, Lu Ben did not hesitate and directly used the Xishan School's signature skill to summon the gods!
He took out a stick of incense from his bosom, touched it with his hand, and lit it instantly, then inserted it into a layer of clothes behind his neck that was specially used to insert incense.
As the smoke spread, he stepped on the Gang Steps and chanted, "The boy who can turn misfortune into fortune is here!"
Swish!
The space twisted, and a divine thought instantly descended upon Lu Ben.
This boy who can turn misfortune into blessing is a senior of Xishan School. He was still a teenager before his death. By chance, he became a ghost god of the underworld. In Houde Hall, he is responsible for adding blessings and longevity to those who have done good deeds for a long time and helped maintain the order of heaven and earth.
He has a very good reputation in the world of summoning gods. He is powerful, does things steadily, and rarely fails. Most importantly, he is willing to cooperate with those who summon gods. Almost as long as you invite him, he will come.
For him, just being able to wander around the mortal world is a good thing. This may be because he died too early and still has a childlike innocence.
Because of this, he is also one of the popular gods to be summoned.
But this also caused him to be "on the line" for a long time.
"Hey, Luotian Dajiao? Interesting!" At this time, 'Lü Ben' looked at the disciple opposite him and said in a young voice: "Young man, I'll let you three moves, you go first!"
"Then I will respectfully obey your command!" Li Liang nodded.
When facing a sorcerer who summons gods, it is best to simply raise the opponent's strength to a higher level.
Therefore, Li Liang did not dare to underestimate the enemy.
He took a step forward and approached Lu Ben like the wind. Then, a light flashed on his fist, and he suddenly punched the incense stick behind Lu Ben.
"Smart, his cultivation is limited, he can't maintain contact with the gods for a long time, and he needs the help of guiding incense so that the gods can find his location. As long as we destroy his guiding incense, the spell to summon the gods will fall apart!" said a spectator.
Lu Ben obviously saw through Li Liang's plan, but he was not in a hurry. He just turned his body slightly and avoided the attack by a hair's breadth.
Then 'Lü Ben' looked at Li Liang and smiled: "One move!"
Li Liang raised his eyebrows, his expression became more serious, and kicked out with a through kick.
Leg techniques are often not used first in a fight, because the legs grip the ground to maintain body balance. Therefore, even if the power is stronger than that of the hands, they are often only used after the opponent reveals a flaw.
Otherwise, once your leg techniques are cracked and you lose your body balance, you will easily fall into a disadvantage.
At this time, Li Liang would use leg techniques first. It was obvious that he relied on Lu Ben's request to give him three moves, so he dared to use the move of Chuan Tang Ji directly.
A kick came out, and Lu Ben didn't dare to take it head-on, but it was difficult to dodge either. He could only put his palms together and use the force-dissipating technique to neutralize it.
Bang!
Lu Ben's body was under force and he took several steps back. He fell backwards, rolled over and slapped the floor to gain leverage and stood up again.
However, at this moment a strong wind blew and went straight to the guiding incense behind Lu Ben's neck.
"It's the [Wind Spell]!" said a disciple who was watching the battle.
Yes, Li Liang's kick was just a feint, his real move was this seemingly inconspicuous [Wind Spell].
Once the guiding incense was blown out by the wind and the spell to summon the gods was broken, Lu Ben would probably have to admit defeat.
However, Lu Ben did not even try to hide. The wind blew past him, and the incense stick behind his neck kept shaking. However, the incense stick never went out, and there was no intention of the incense stick leaving his neck.
"Two moves!" Lu Ben said with a smile.
Seeing this, the leaders of the surrounding sects all looked at Lu Yao of Xishan Sect.
Lu Yao said with a little pride: "We made some improvements a few years ago. Not to mention being blown away by strong winds, the incense can still keep burning even if it is thrown into the water."
"Senior Brother Lu Yao is awesome!"
"After the ceremony is over, please be generous and sell me some."
…
When Lin Qianxing saw this scene, he was thoughtful. It seems that this religious ceremony can also promote sales.
On the other side, Li Liang in the field was surrounded by golden light gathered on his right leg, and he was obviously preparing for a decisive move.
He knew in his mind that if the spirit in Lu Ben's body fought back after three moves, he would definitely not win or lose given the means and techniques the other party possessed.
It would be better to decide the outcome directly while the other party is not taking the initiative to attack.
Suddenly, Li Liang moved.
Boom~!
He used his legs to move his body, golden light gathered on his right leg, and rushed straight towards Lu Ben.
Seeing this, Lu Ben's expression became a little serious.
There was a flash of light on his body, and it was obvious that he had cast the [Shun Xin Mantra] on his body.
Seeing this scene, the many leaders watching the battle knew that the winner had been decided.
In fact, it was just like that. The moment Li Liang kicked Lu Ben, he suddenly seemed to have a cramp, and his body instantly became stiff. Lu Ben easily raised his hand to block it, and then dodged to the side.
"Three moves!" said Lu Ben.
As soon as he finished speaking, he cast a series of spells and raised his hand to knock Li Liang away with a palm strike in the air.
"I give up!" Seeing that Lu Ben was about to attack again, Li Liang spoke quickly.
"It's really boring to give up so quickly!" Lu Ben sighed, but stopped immediately. Then the space around him twisted, Tianfu Tongzi's spiritual thoughts left, and the guiding incense behind his neck also went out.
After Tianfu Boy left, Lu Ben looked miserable, obviously suffering from the aftereffects of inviting the gods.
After the two men performed the ceremony facing the leaders of the various sects sitting around them, they were all taken off the martial arts field and the scene was handed over to others.
Lin Qianxing asked Gongsun Zhan at this time: "Master, why is the [Heart-Shunning Mantra] so powerful?"
Gongsun Zhan replied: "The original full name of [Shun Xin Mantra] is [Shun Xin Ru Yi Mantra]. When the founder was in the early stage of cultivation, he always encountered various disasters. He had no choice but to create this mantra. The principle of the mantra is actually very simple. It is to use this mantra to strengthen your own fortune in a short period of time, so that you can achieve everything you want.
As expected, after creating this spell, the disasters that troubled the ancestor became less and less frequent. After that, he encountered various opportunities along the way, his cultivation level rose steadily, and everything went smoothly. Therefore, this spell is a blessing spell that can completely rival the [Great Vajra Mantra]. "
Lin Qianxing suddenly recalled the scene when he had subdued Lei Sheng and made him the Dharma Protector. He felt a little strange at that time. Although the purple zombie had his own thinking ability, he had just woken up from a long period of nourishment. Logically, he should not be able to suppress his habit of sucking the blood of living creatures. But Lei Sheng just found a wild boar to suck the blood at that time, which not only did not harm him, but also protected him.
The chance of this happening is not zero, but it's obviously not very high.
Looking back, it must be the [Shun Xin Mantra] that I chanted at that time that had an effect.
"Then this spell is invincible?" Lin Qianxing asked in surprise.
“Don’t be too superstitious about this spell. The [Shunxin Spell] only amplifies your luck, which means it reduces the probability of you encountering a disaster and increases the possibility of obtaining opportunities. But this does not mean that it will definitely work. There are also many spell masters who have been blessed with the [Shunxin Spell] and died violent deaths.” Gongsun Zhan said.
"Could this be the legendary Xuan Bugai Fei?" Lin Qianxing blinked.
At this time, another disciple came on stage.
"I am Xu Junmin from the Weishan Sect. Please teach me, fellow disciples!"
Hearing the sound, everyone around seemed eager to try.
Gongsun Zhan patted Lin Qianxing on the shoulder and said, "Qianxing, go ahead!"
"Me?" Lin Qianxing was stunned and said, "Master, are you sure?"
Lin Qianxing is very confused now. He has practiced the [Soul Gathering Spell] to a superb level. Just in terms of the upper limit of the spell power, Gongsun Zhan cannot compare to him.
With such a level of cultivation, when he fights against these disciples, it is no longer a simple case of the strong bullying the weak, it is simply like beating up primitive people!
"Restrain your strength, fight with your fellow disciples, and gain some experience. Go ahead!" Gongsun Zhan nodded.
"Okay then!" Lin Qianxing nodded.
As the voice fell, a golden light flashed on Lin Qianxing's body, and his figure flew out and landed on the martial arts field.
"Lushan Sanbaoguan Lin Qianxing, please teach me, Brother Xu!"
