Chapter 508 Thunder Lord helps me
Chixia Jun raised his hand with a gloomy face, and a red silk that looked like gauze and brocade came into his hand. He took a look at the magic weapon in his palm. The spiritual light was mostly damaged, and the fire inside also faded a lot. The origin of this magic weapon has been damaged. It is unknown how many years it will take to restore its power.

"It seems that there are more than just mediocre people in Jixia Pass," he said. Although he felt sad that the magic weapon was damaged, it was just a small matter. If the task assigned was not completed, it would be a big deal.

"Junior brother, there was only one person fighting just now. I will try to tie him up for now, and you will wait for an opportunity to force the cultivator out of the pass. If no one else comes forward, find the weakness of that person and seize this pass in one fell swoop."

Chixia Jun looked at Gu Xiao and said, "You and the other disciples should attack from a distance. Do not enter the city easily to avoid an ambush. I guess the Ming Dynasty must have set up defenses at this vital place. There may be a large formation hidden in the city. Once it is captured, I am afraid they will perish with us."

After he finished explaining, he encouraged him again: "If you can take down this city and end the life of that cultivator, it will be your credit. All the disciples who contributed will be rewarded!"

Gu Xiao rolled his eyelids a few times and revealed a sinister smile: "Brother, just watch how I capture the city and destroy the enemy!"

As he said this, he rolled up his left sleeve, and saw seven green talismans, three on top and four on bottom, stuck to Gu Xiao's left arm, forming the shape of the Big Dipper. He raised his hand and pressed, and the seven green talismans flew out and ascended into the sky together.

"Seven Stars Shepherd's Wind Order, quick!"

The green talisman turned into stream of light, and was deployed in formation, surrounding in a circle, gathering the soul-shaking wind, desolate wind, cleansing wind, skin-peeling wind, bone-scraping wind, mind-bewildering wind, and fatal wind. When the seven winds came out, a strong wind swept in, blowing yellow sand all over the sky, dazzling the eyes, shaking the spirit and scattering the thoughts.

At the same time, Chixia Jun also took action. Not only was his fire magic fierce, he also mastered the thunder magic. He was an expert in both thunder and fire. Now he wanted to hold the man in the city back, so he couldn't help but use all his strength. His eyes flashed with electricity, a flash of lightning gathered in his heart, and he shouted loudly, with bursts of thunder.

A dark cloud flew over from the sky, with frequent flashes of lightning and constant thunder inside, which squeezed aside the rain clouds that Zhang Mu had summoned with the Grain Rain method. The dark cloud pressed down on the city, threatening to destroy it. A bolt of lightning struck down from a drought, falling straight onto the top of the city.

There was no guarding general on the top of the Jixia Pass, but if the thunder fell, it would probably overturn the city walls and buildings. Destroying wood and stone would be a small matter, but it would disturb the people and cause chaos in the city. Once people's hearts were in chaos, the dragon energy would disperse and would be difficult to gather.

How could Zhang Mu dare to neglect it? He used his little magic to draw the breeze, and a breeze blew, lifting him into the air. "You have a plan, but I have a ladder." The twenty-four scenes behind him shone brightly. The Summer Solstice and the Waking of Insects intersected, and the sky became bright in the blink of an eye.

Then the sky turned white, the Yang energy was strong, a heat was brewing, cleansing the moisture between heaven and earth, generating Yang dryness. The Red Cloud Lord in the sky called over rolling thunderclouds, which shrank a little when illuminated by the dry daylight.

The rain clouds above Zhang Mu's head slowly condensed and eventually turned into an extremely heavy and black mass. Then the black turned into white, followed by a white lightning that pounced towards the oncoming lightning.

The sky has the sun and the moon, the air has yin and yang, and wind, rain, thunder and clouds also have yin wind and yang wind, and the distinction between yin thunder and yang thunder. The solar terms are born from the intersection of yin and yang. Zhang Mu took advantage of the alternation of the solar terms to catalyze a yang thunder, gathering the yang energy of heaven and earth into a righteous holy thunder.

As soon as the white yang thunder fell, it suppressed the lightning released by Chixia Jun. The two thunders collided and lightning continued. After only a moment of stalemate, the yang thunder swallowed up the lightning completely and its size expanded a bit.

'All worldly spiritual practices rely on the power of Qi to control the law, and the same is true for the solar term order. It's just that this solar term method also relies on the power of heaven and earth to comprehend the changes of Yin and Yang, which has an additional change compared to the single method of evolving Qi.' Zhang Mu carefully looked at the two thunders fighting in the air, secretly spying on the changes in the nature of the thunder method, and his mind became more enlightened.

"This solar term order depends entirely on the word 'learn'. You need to comprehend the climate of heaven and earth, the changes in the nature of the four seasons, the secrets of the growth of all things, and the opportunities for changes in the weather. The twenty-four scenes are not about how to use them, but about listing a framework. You can observe the movement of heaven and earth with the wonders of the solar terms, and then fill it with your own insights. Therefore, everyone's participation is different, and the twenty-four scenes condensed are also different for everyone."

His thoughts raced, and he felt his mind clear, with all kinds of insights flooding into his heart. However, those insights were not the mysterious principles of the Tao, but rather the various physical properties of the interaction between yin and yang, the rotation of the solar terms, knowledge of astronomy and geography, and the changes in the operation of wind, rain, thunder and lightning.

Especially the thunder method, what is the principle of cumulus clouds turning into rain, what is the mystery of clouds prompting thunder to fall, all kinds of insights come to mind.

“My life is limited, but my learning is limitless. I understand the yin and yang, and know the changes. The heaven and earth are my teachers, and they teach me earnestly. Only by learning and knowing can I use it. My way is complete!”

Zhang Mu exclaimed in praise and couldn't help feeling great joy, but it was not a peaceful mind or a meditative intention, but a desire to learn and seek truth. The twenty-four scenes behind him changed dramatically. They were no longer the same patterns or rote examples. Each scene and picture in the twenty-four solar terms gave off a flash of lightning, followed by thunder.

At that time there were spring thunder, summer thunder, autumn thunder and winter thunder, roaring incessantly. There were also thunders caused by accumulated rain, thunders caused by frost and snow, thunders caused by strong winds and continuous lightning. There were twenty-four pictures, each with a bright thunder light, which were connected to each other and merged into one source.

"Inner scenes become outer scenes, when the solar terms change, treat them as Dharma images, may the Thunder God help me!"

He shouted loudly, and the diagram of the twenty-four solar terms slowly collapsed and gathered. Qi and spirit merged, essence and thought merged, and his soul was cleansed by the lightning, broke out of the body, turned around and plunged into the solar term diagram. Then, a statue of Lei Gong with double wings and a pointed beak, accompanied by thunder and lightning, appeared. At another look, the face was vaguely similar to Zhang Mu's.

As the image of Lei Gong appeared, thunder roared between heaven and earth. Bolts struck down, turning the thousand-mile land into a thunder prison. Zhang Mu, who had transformed into a Dharma image, looked at the city below his feet, and saw the violent wind and thunder summoned by the enemy, and smiled slightly.

"You are destined to have such a bad fate. You have to meet me. If it were someone else, it would take more effort!"

He raised both hands, with the thunder hammer in his left hand and the electric cone in his right hand. When the two touched, a loud thunder struck down, tearing the violent wind apart and causing the Seven-Star Shepherd's Purse Order that had turned into wind to reveal its true form. Its precious body shattered into pieces, and faint lightning flashed.

With another strike, the lightning summoned by Chixia Jun was swallowed up. Zhang Mu vibrated the wind and thunder wings behind him, and the lightning and light hunting wind lifted his body up. As fast as lightning, he suddenly rose up and fell down, smashing towards Chixia Jun and the other two.

Chi Xiajun only felt the danger coming from all sides. Just as he was about to take action, he saw thunder silently around him, and several lightning flowers lit up. A flash of lightning paralyzed him for a moment, and then stopped for a moment. When he looked up again, he saw the lightning coming. The whole person was knocked out, tumbled several times in the air, and hit the ground, leaving a big hole.

There was a flash of lightning, and Zhang Mu appeared. He raised his left arm, and Gu Xiao was strangled by the neck and was held in his hand like a chick.
