Chapter 925: Bell Rings, Demons Shock the Four Directions, First Formation of Swallowing Gold and Pouring Copper

The big thugs of each family took out their respective tokens, and all kinds of messy things were piled on the incense table.

Before the Profound Truth Sect side could set up their formation, the large pitch-black iron bell on the second floor of the Drum Tower was suddenly struck.

The huge bell sound echoed through Dagukou, and a hunchbacked, lame old man pulled a huge bell pestle and struck toward the large iron bell.

The bell wall trembled, and the scriptures engraved on it trembled rapidly. One loud sound of the bell was 18,000 times of scriptures.

At this moment, even the men of the Boatmen's Guild, who were standing in battle array on the Sancha River Bridge, could not help but raise their heads and look toward the city.

The red lanterns hanging on the pontoon bridge beside them burst one by one in the bell sound;

At the port facing the sea where the foreign fire ships were docked, a harsh baby's cry suddenly came from the cabin of the fire ship in the bell sound. The foreigners on the deck ran around holding their heads, covering their ears and fleeing off the ship.

In the ancient Yellow River path, in the vast wilderness.

It was like an earthquake, the loess was buried, and several one-eyed stone statues were revealed from under the embankment of the old river channel that was more than ten meters higher than the two banks;

On a large iron ship that had been docked on the South Canal for a long time.

A group of Maoshan Daoists' Three Sages bells trembled violently. The bronze mirrors hanging on the four sides of the iron ship's deck fell one by one. The Daoists' faces changed greatly, and they looked toward the ship's cabin, only to see the birds flying in the sky suddenly sucked into the cabin by something in one breath.

Leading the way, a Daoist wearing Western glasses pulled out the peach wood sword behind him, flew down and landed directly above the iron ship's deck, stepped on a huge iron Bagua, and pressed his hands toward the center of the Bagua filled with cinnabar.

"Two Instruments and Four Images, Suppress!"

"The iron ship casts an iron tripod, bronze mirrors hang on four sides, the sun and moon shine in the sky, the Three Sages show their divine power! Demon, dare to act recklessly!"

The peach wood sword was inserted into the eye of the huge Yin-Yang fish on the deck, and the entire vibrating iron ship suddenly stopped its flags and drums, calming down.

On the North Grand Canal, a shaman wearing a Nuo mask led a group of men and women filled with ghostly qi, sitting on a large boat woven from willow branches as it drifted south with the wind.

The bell sound came from afar, and the group of immortals on the boat suddenly became restless. Foxes, hedgehogs, rats, snakes, or sharp calls or hissing sounds, some crawling, some rolling, in a mess.

As the Nuo mask slowly turned its head, that group of immortals immediately fell silent, staying quietly on the willow-branch boat.

Guzhi has three treasures: the Drum Tower, the Fort, and the Bell Pavilion. It refers to the three divine objects that suppress demons and ward off evil in Dagukou. Except for "nothing is more evil than the Tianhou Palace," only the Drum Tower iron bell, the Divine Might Great General Cannon on the Fort, and the sixty-four golden bells of the Bell Pavilion can best restrain demons.

The reason why Guzhi was built around the Drum Tower was because the nine-hundred-jin mixed iron bell struck fifty-four times each morning and evening. Ordinary demons would be severely injured if they heard it.

The Divine Might Great General Cannon goes without saying. One shot would rot for dozens of miles, using red sand fire powder to ward off evil, carrying five-fire thunder cannonballs.

The thugs knew that the Profound Truth Sect was extremely strange, and the disciples didn't look like living people at all.

They agreed to the Drum Tower duel just to use the iron bell to shake out the true form of the Profound Truth Sect disciples at a critical moment!

Unexpectedly, these twenty or thirty bell sounds blasted directly, and even the thugs were swaying, dizzy, and among the experts invited from all sides, there were many who practiced evil arts. At this time, they all sprayed blood, their faces hideous, but only the Profound Truth Sect disciples they wanted to deal with were completely unmoved.

Wu Ya's black-green flesh and blood squirmed under his skin, and he even showed a focus of washing his soul and clearing his miscellaneous thoughts in the bell sound.

He turned slowly, facing the iron bell with a slightly surprised expression.

"So the scriptures engraved on the iron bell are the Three Sages' secret transmission 'Bright Venerable Sun and Moon Radiance Scripture'!" Wu Ya's expression was strange, looking at the crowd: "Do you not know which god our Profound Truth Sect worships?"

Cui Bu'er also laughed strangely: "I heard that the Profound Truth Sect worships the Bright Venerable and the Profound Lord!"

"Using the Bright Venerable's bell sound to suppress us, what are you thinking?"

Wu Ya shrugged, clasped the Three Sages Seal with both hands, flew to the iron bell, and printed on the iron bell sixty-four times in one breath.

Added to the previous seventeen bell sounds, eighty-one loud bell sounds echoed throughout Guzhi.

Among the experts of various guilds on the second floor of the Drum Tower, seven or eight exploded into a mass of blood mist in the bell sound. This bell sound carrying Wu Ya's full magic power spread far away, its power more than a hundred times greater, which caused the changes in the four directions.

Facing the sixty-four loud sounds blasted by the Profound Truth Sect.

Li Jinao flew out, golden light seemed to condense into a back armor on his body, on which three large mountains of copper, iron, and stone could be faintly seen, blocking in front of a god statue covered by a red cloth behind him.

The red cloth on the god statue shattered into powder, revealing a golden man.

The golden man stepped on a half-dead living person, his face hideous, fangs revealed at the corners of his mouth, faintly stained with blood, a pair of inlaid red coral eyeballs staring at the direction of the iron bell, and his huge stomach seemed to be squirming.

Li Jinao and several old thugs blocked the golden man and said to Wu Ya: "First formation of bell ringing, let's compare swallowing gold!"

"Begging for gold!"

The thugs carried a large boiler from afar. What a good iron tripod, burning silver silk beast-head charcoal underneath, carried by eight people, the iron tripod weighing thousands of jin stood at the very end of North Street, the tripod burned red.

At this time, the thugs standing on both sides of the street took off their large gold chains one after another, various jewelry on their bodies, and some even brought their wives' family assets!

The worst ones threw two copper coins into it.

Once these things entered the iron tripod, they turned into a pool of copper water, and the five metals were mixed into one.

The eight strong men were all strong men in the porter trade who could lift ten thousand jin, carrying the iron tripod step by step from the street toward the Drum Tower. Wherever they passed, even ordinary people threw two copper coins into it from time to time.

All the way, when they arrived under the Drum Tower, it was already a full tripod of copper water...

Wu Ya saw clearly that this was a strange art. The tripod was like a mother, refining the gold water like flesh and blood. It was a secret magic technique from the secret of creating people, casting gold and silver like flesh and blood, to achieve immortality!

Li Jinao stood in front of that pool of copper water, and the thug next to him hurriedly said: "Master Li, you drew the red lot!"

Li Jinao threw the red lot in his hand into the furnace fire under the iron tripod and said lightly: "What's the difference between a red lot and a black lot? Brothers, let me break this first formation."

Wu Ya blocked: "Wait, how are we comparing this formation?"

Li Jinao raised his head: "Let's compare how many jin of gold water we burn and refine, and who can swallow more!"

Not to mention anything else, the common people of Dagukou below first let out a "Huo" sound. That gold, silver, and copper money burned into water, even if a ladle was poured down, it would rot the intestines and stomach, dying extremely painfully! They were actually comparing who could drink more gold water!

"Bring the scale!"

Li Jinao stood first on a huge copper scale brought by the thugs, weighed his own weight, then bowed in all four directions, and said: "Everyone, look closely, I, Li Jinao, weigh 198 jin, 6 liang, 3 qian! Behind this, every extra weight is the gold I swallowed, the silver I ate, and the copper and iron I choked on. Intestines rotting and stomach breaking, what flows out doesn't count. Pour it from head to toe, what can be hung on counts too."

"Let's compare the weight. If there is a qian less in the stomach or hanging on the body, Li admits defeat!"

"Good!"

Cheers like a mountain and sea came from below. Isn't this better to watch than watching a beheading? Even at the Caishikou in the capital, it's not this lively!

Immediately, the four streets were squeezed so tightly that even those in a hurry to pass had to stop and watch for two eyes. People were squeezing people in front, and you couldn't pass.

Wu Ya looked down at the gold water in the iron tripod and smiled: "These were all begged by your thug trade, my Profound Truth Sect won't take advantage of you!"

After saying this, he came to the large iron bell and shouted.

"All disciples, raise the Yang-Fire Mirror! Receive the fire of the Bright Venerable, ignite the immeasurable light..."

A skinny deacon behind him stood under the iron bell. Hundreds of bronze mirrors were suddenly raised in all directions, shining the light of the sun onto the iron bell. Hundreds of rays of sunlight shot at one inch, and in an instant, that part of the iron bell was dazzling.

The old Jianghu people of various guilds next to them hurriedly said: "No!"

"You can't melt that iron bell!"

Qiu the Physiognomist of the Changchun Guild also had to stand up and say: "Good man of the Profound Truth Sect, this iron bell is the first of the three treasures of Dagukou, it is a bell instrument for reporting dawn and dusk, how can it be used by you to duel?"

The skinny deacon smiled: "The Profound Truth Sect is personally transmitted by the Bright Venerable, and the treasure that worships the Bright Venerable, how can we not add luster to it? Don't worry, how we use your iron bell, we will return it how. And use iron, return copper. Look at me swallowing the bell, and then casting me back into a bell!"

When she opened her mouth, the crowd realized that the skinny deacon who was like a dead body was actually a woman.

The skinny deacon cupped her hands: "Profound Truth Sect, Chang Yan!"

The spectators of Dagukou had never seen such excitement. It was just an iron bell, how could it compare to the big duel that hadn't been seen in Dagukou for a hundred years. Immediately, someone shouted below: "Let her swallow!"

"Right, let her swallow, we love to watch!"

Cheers like a mountain and sea came from all directions.

Li Jinao and Chang Yan stood on opposite sides. The thugs scooped a ladle of copper juice from the iron tripod and brought it to Li Jinao's mouth. He opened his mouth and drank the copper juice to the bottom.

The gold water and flesh and blood made a sizzling sound, and a smell of burning meat permeated.

But one could see that the row of teeth at the front of his mouth had been dyed pure gold by the molten metal, and his throat looked as if it were about to be burned through; yet Li Jinao channeled his qi throughout his entire body, the blue veins on his body bulged one by one, and drops of bloody sweat from his forehead smashed down, as he forcefully swallowed that mouthful of scalding molten copper into his stomach.

Three mountains of copper, iron, and stone faintly appeared behind him, suppressing his body.

The copper juice boiled, and it seemed that countless little ghosts were reaching out inside. With this mouthful, his tongue was scorched, and his throat was full of overflowing blood. Li Jinao closed his mouth, chewed, and spat out a section of scorched tongue.

In all directions, everyone shouted: "Good! Good man!"

He stood in front of the golden man, his eyes staring like copper bells, looking at Chang Yan opposite.

Chang Yan, the only female deacon of the Profound Truth Sect, stared at the blinding sunlight gathered by the hundreds of bronze mirrors onto the iron bell; drops of molten iron, one by one, dripped down along the scorching heat gathered by the Yang-Fire Mirror.

But she first used the iron water to burn through her two eyeballs, and then used the two pitch-black eye sockets to catch the dripping iron water.

Two ruthless people dueling on the Drum Tower, not to mention the experts of various guilds next to them who were silent, even the lively spectators below all closed their mouths, awed by the tragic momentum.

Chang Yan said coldly: "Bring the scale! Let's stand at both ends of the large scale. In the end, whoever's place is raised, that one loses!"

Li Jinao and Chang Yan stood at both ends of the huge copper scale, but at this time the scale sank by one point toward Li Jinao. He just cupped his hands to deduct the advantage of his own weight, but saw Chang Yan smile coldly, punch the bell, iron water splashed, fell on her head, and was wrapped by her braids, all hanging on her head.

At this time, the copper scale sank and pressed toward her side.

Li Jinao picked up the iron spoon next to him, scooped up a ladle of gold water, and poured it into his stomach again. This time the copper scale balanced again... ===== CHAPTER 926 =====
