Chapter 92 – Spirit Soldier
Inside the mountain, the light from the Jiè Hūi lantern illuminated the area like daylight. Su Yun, Wu Tong, and Jiao Shu'Ao saw a grand wall appear before them from afar. Dozens of spiritualists and people dressed as teachers were standing under the wall.
The wall was over thirty zhang tall, and the people below looked extremely small.
"This wall should lead to the central hall corresponding to the Thirty-Six Spoke Wheel, where the highest ruler of the Jiè Hūi City resides!" Su Yun's eyes flickered as he thought, "In other words, there is an ancient god-king inside the hall!"
The purpose of the Tong family was to dig out this ancient god-king and transport him in a coffin to another place, but they encountered the seal of the Lóu Bān here.
With the foundation of the Shuò Fāng Academy in architecture, they were unable to break the Lóu Bān seal, so they invited teachers from the Western Academy during the winter break.
Su Yun looked around and saw some miners knocking on the wall around the area, trying to clear the Jiè Hūi from the wall and explore other paths.
They had already cleared a large part of the space around the wall, revealing other walls.
Although it was called a wall, it looked more like a square box!
Su Yun's heart moved, and the wooden box transformed into a dragon that flowed around him. Could it be that the wooden box was the key to this square wall, just like the Lóu Bān gave him?
Wu Tong led Su Yun and Jiao Shu'Ao into the crowd. Su Yun was surprised that this human-demon girl was indeed quite capable.
Whether it was the Tong family, the Shuò Fāng Academy, or the teacher from the Western Academy, they were all extremely powerful experts. However, Wu Tong led Su Yun and Jiao Shu'Ao into the crowd, and these experts seemed to have not noticed them at all!
"What are you doing?" The red-clothed girl asked a Tong family spiritualist beside her with great interest.
Su Yun secretly squeezed a cold sweat for her, but the Tong family spiritualist seemed to have met an old acquaintance and said in a low voice, "There is a treasure behind this wall, and we are trying to break through it."
Before Wu Tong could ask another question, Tong Qingluo's eyes swept over them fiercely, and they quickly shut their mouths.
Su Yun was surprised as Tong Qingluo's sharp gaze swept over him. His vision turned white, and he could hardly see anything. His heart tightened, but strangely, although Tong Qingluo's gaze was extremely sharp, he seemed to have not seen them at all and withdrew his gaze.
Su Yun was inexplicably surprised and looked at Wu Tong, thinking, "This human-demon girl should be taught a lesson. But if I say I want to teach her a lesson, she will probably fight me to the death..."
The dozen or so teachers from the Shuò Fāng Academy were standing in front of this wall, discussing countermeasures and trying to use their spiritual abilities to restrain the wall.
One of the teachers walked towards the wall and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Huà Bì, this wall is a spiritual weapon created by someone using architectural skills to seal the entire hall. Someone dug here before us and was afraid that we would enter the hall, so they set up a seal!"
Various bricks and tiles flew out from above his head and hit the wall, replacing the bricks and tiles on the wall with those formed by his spiritual abilities.
"I will use the replacement method to break the spiritual weapon left by this person and enter it!"The teacher from the Shuofang Academy was clearly confident and dissatisfied with the teacher from the Imperial College who came from the Western Capital to paint the walls. He wanted to show off his abilities in front of the teacher and laughed: "Shuofang is the hometown of the master architect Lou Ban, and our architectural skills are no weaker than those of the Imperial College in the Western Capital! Teacher of the wall painting, what do you think of my skills?"
He pushed forward with all his might, and more and more bricks and tiles were replaced by his divine power. The wall slowly retreated under his divine power.
Su Yun watched intently and saw that the bricks and stones in the unique wall were constantly changing their order and shape, with arches, pillars, and brackets changing in very complex ways.
These changes were changes in architectural form, from flying brackets turning into wellhead brackets, from commanding arches turning into interactive brackets, and from column heads turning into corner beams.
This tested both architectural divine power and spatial displacement and calculation abilities.
Not only that, but the brackets, arches, brackets, and beams in those changes all emitted terrifying fluctuations, obviously in the form of spiritual weapons, on the verge of unleashing their power!
Su Yun was completely ignorant of this and felt only awe.
The teacher from the Western Capital was extraordinary, calculating and advancing at the same time, using the bricks and stones transformed by his own blood and energy to change the shape of the brackets, arches, brackets, and beams, preventing the spiritual weapons from unleashing their power.
As he advanced, the changes in the wall became faster and more intense, no longer just changes in arches and brackets, but gradually transforming from a wall into a building, a palace, a corridor.
Whether it was a building, a palace, a corridor, a courtyard, or a painted boat, they were all in the form of spiritual weapons, and the changes became more and more complex, and the power of the spiritual weapons became stronger and stronger!
The teacher from the Western Capital had to find the flaw in the blink of an eye, replace the bricks and stones, and force the spiritual weapons formed by the wall to be unable to unleash their power.
As the wall continued to change, he could advance in the moment of change and enter the sealed palace.
The teacher from the Western Capital was also powerful, worthy of being a teacher from the Shuofang Academy. He took seven steps and entered the corridor. But then he was at a loss and shouted, "I don't know enough! Who can help me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, before the other teachers from the Western Capital could come to his aid, a burst of light erupted in the corridor, followed by a loud bang. The teacher from the Western Capital was reduced to bones, and only a skeleton remained standing in the corridor.
The bricks and tiles piled up and quickly submerged the skeleton.
The wall pushed back in front of everyone.
The teachers from the Shuofang Academy in front of the wall looked solemn. Suddenly, a middle-aged man sneered, "The teachers from the Shuofang Academy still have the face to say that Lou Ban, the master architect, is from Shuofang. But you can't even see that this wall is Lou Ban's spiritual weapon, called Dust Curtain Sky. You are really ridiculous and deserve to die!"
The teachers from the Shuofang Academy were inexplicably sad and angry. They were all professors of this new subject of architecture in the academy, and Lou Ban was also from Shuofang. They did not expect to be blocked by this wall and mocked by the teacher of wall painting from the Western Capital.
Since being trapped by this wall, the Shuofang Academy had lost more than ten students who were proficient in the new subject of architecture, and three teachers had also died in the wall.
Tong Qingluo coughed and said in a deep voice, "Teacher of the wall painting, is this wall Lou Ban's spiritual weapon?"
The teacher of the wall painting was a handsome middle-aged man with eyes like stars and moon, and he said, "This treasure is called Dust Curtain Sky, which is Lou Ban's spiritual weapon. When Lou Ban was buried, it was our senior from the Imperial College who sent him to be buried in the Heavenly Market Wall. At that time, we did not discover this treasure.""Dusty Sky?"
The teachers of the Shuofang Academy were both shocked and excited, looking at the wall with greedy anticipation.
Spiritual masters who practiced the art of earth and wood construction all knew about the Dusty Sky.
Many of these construction spiritual masters' lifelong wish was to see the great saintly spiritual weapon of the Lou Ban Saint, the Dusty Sky!
It was rumored that this great saintly spiritual weapon had no fixed form or shape, like dust in the sky formed by the wind!
Thus, it was named the Dusty Sky.
There were also rumors that this great saintly spiritual weapon could transform into various kinds of buildings, such as towers, palaces, and treasure pavilions, with each possessing different powers.
It could even form a building where everything could be done by the building itself, making it easy for people to live in, and everything was at their fingertips.
It could also be the most terrifying prison, the scariest cage, the most indestructible fortress, and the most powerful weapon of attack!
Although Lou Ban was not canonized by the Emperor of the Eastern Capital and buried with the specifications of a heavenly teacher, his spiritual weapon, Dusty Sky, was recognized as a great saintly spiritual weapon!
Before, no one had thought of the Dusty Sky, after all, it was the legendary spiritual weapon of a saint, and it would definitely be collected by a prominent family after the saint's death. How could it be buried in the Jie Hui Mountain?
Tong Qingluo's face changed slightly, "Great saintly spiritual weapon! If I could obtain this treasure, my position in the family..."
The elegant and handsome muralist said lightly, "Our academy has a deep connection with the Lou Ban Heavenly Teacher. When the Heavenly Teacher Lou was commissioned by the Emperor Yuan to build the Eastern Capital, after it was completed, Emperor Yuan moved the capital from the Western Capital to the Eastern Capital. At that time, the scholars who followed the Heavenly Teacher to build the Eastern Capital later became great figures, and Lou Ban, who taught these scholars in his school, became the supreme holy land of architecture, which is the Earth and Wood Academy in our academy. Architecture, starting from the Earth and Wood Academy, has spread throughout the country, becoming a great academic subject."
He glanced at the many teachers of the Shuofang Academy and said, "Although Heavenly Teacher Lou was from Shuofang, the way of earth and wood construction has nothing to do with you." n0velusB.c0M
The Western teachers were ashamed.
Tong Qingluo asked, "Muralist, how do we collect the Dusty Sky?"
"Collect?"
The muralist smiled and said, "Tong family dares to ask for the great saintly spiritual weapon? This is the treasure of the Lou Ban Heavenly Teacher, naturally, it should be handed over to the national treasury for confiscation. The emperor will give it to whoever he wants."
Tong Qingluo's eyes flashed with a fierce light, but the muralist did not notice and continued, "The Dusty Sky was refined using the Lou Ban Heavenly Teacher's twelve true methods, which are the twelve basic ways of earth and wood construction, as well as refining methods. Although Heavenly Teacher Lou was a saint in earth and wood construction, he was also a great master in refining in his time!"
Su Yun curiously asked, "What is the Lou Ban Heavenly Teacher's twelve true methods?"
Everyone looked at him, Su Yun was startled, but saw everyone's expressions become trance-like, and they all averted their gaze.
The muralist continued, "The twelve true methods are recorded in the official academy's architectural textbooks, called the Lou Ban Book. As a scholar, you must not have listened carefully in class!"
Su Yun quickly activated his Wen Chang token with his blood and qi. In his spiritual realm, various books appeared in front of his spiritual consciousness. He waved his hand lightly, and the Lou Ban Book on architecture began to flip through, and sure enough, the Lou Ban Heavenly Teacher's twelve true methods were recorded on it!
Su Yun felt ashamed, he had indeed never read these books.
But he had not thought that he had just started school and had not officially started classes, so it was natural that he had not learned them.He carefully examined the twelve true methods recorded in the Lou Ban book, and heard the Painting Wall Master continue, "The twelve true methods are divided into materials, measurements, fighting, arching, supporting, beams, pillars, lifting, bending, strength, sealing, and refining. These twelve methods make up the Dust Curtain Sky. Materials are the materials used in civil engineering!"
He placed his palm on the square wall in front of him, and saw the wall recede, revealing a block of bricks protruding from the wall. The Painting Wall Master pulled out a brick and said, "This brick is composed of countless tiny cubes that are almost invisible to the naked eye, so it is called dust."
The square brick in his hand suddenly shattered into tiny grains of sand and flowed towards the wall.
The Painting Wall Master flipped over his palm, revealing a tiny speck of dust, and said, "Measurement determines the minimum number of the basic materials used in construction. I will enlarge the minimum number of the Dust Curtain Sky for you to see!"
He raised his other hand, made a fist, and suddenly opened his five fingers. A small cube suddenly enlarged and rotated above his palm!
Everyone was shocked and full of awe for the Dust Curtain Sky.
"The materials and measurements in the twelve true methods are the most important! Knowing the materials is to know the upper limit! Knowing the measurements is to know the great tool! The others, fighting, arching, supporting, beams, pillars, lifting, bending, strength, sealing, and refining, are all techniques."
Su Yun had a sudden realization and was deeply moved, nodding repeatedly.
Jiao Shu'Ao looked at him strangely and took a step to the side, ashamed to be associated with this ignorant spiritualist.
The Painting Wall Master walked towards the wall and said in a deep voice, "Follow me!"
Everyone followed him, and Tong Qingluo's eyes flickered as she said, "Tong Xuan, you stay here to guard. It won't be peaceful tonight, and someone has infiltrated the city to cause trouble."
Tong Xuan was unwilling, but had to comply.
The Painting Wall Master broke through the wall and walked inside, explaining the twelve true methods of the Lou Tian Master in detail.
Su Yun was excited and learned the twelve true methods quickly by comparing them with the Painting Wall Master's techniques.
The Painting Wall Master was also a master of civil engineering. His techniques for deciphering the Dust Curtain Sky were corroborated with the Lou Ban book, which benefited Su Yun greatly.
They walked more than ten steps into the wall, and saw the earth and wood constantly changing around them, turning from walls into houses, from houses into halls, from halls into corridors, from corridors into flying bridges, and from flying bridges into boats.
The Painting Wall Master led them through, and in a short while, they seemed to have walked miles inside the wall!
Suddenly, they appeared in a square hall, with nothing but a coffered ceiling above.
Tong Xiuqing and many other Tong family spiritualists and Western teachers from the Shuo Fang Academy followed along and were amazed by the Painting Wall Master's magical abilities.
Wutong also secretly nodded, "This Master Painting Wall indeed has some skills..."
Just as she thought this, a beam of light shot out from the coffered ceiling and hit the Painting Wall Master's head. His head evaporated on the spot, leaving behind a group of shocked people!

The teacher from the Western Capital had to find the flaw in the blink of an eye, replace the bricks and stones, and force the spiritual weapons formed by the wall to be unable to unleash their power.
As the wall continued to change, he could advance in the moment of change and enter the sealed palace.
The teacher from the Western Capital was also powerful, worthy of being a teacher from the Shuofang Academy. He took seven steps and entered the corridor. But then he was at a loss and shouted, "I don't know enough! Who can help me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, before the other teachers from the Western Capital could come to his aid, a burst of light erupted in the corridor, followed by a loud bang. The teacher from the Western Capital was reduced to bones, and only a skeleton remained standing in the corridor.

Whether it was a building, a palace, a corridor, a courtyard, or a painted boat, they were all in the form of spiritual weapons, and the changes became more and more complex, and the power of the spiritual weapons became stronger and stronger! The teacher from the Western Capital had to find the flaw in the blink of an eye, replace the bricks and stones, and force the spiritual weapons formed by the wall to be unable to unleash their power. As the wall continued to change, he could advance in the moment of change and enter the sealed palace. The teacher from the Western Capital was also powerful, worthy of being a teacher from the Shuofang Academy. He took seven steps and entered the corridor. But then he was at a loss and shouted, "I don't know enough! Who can help me?" As soon as he finished speaking, before the other teachers from the Western Capital could come to his aid, a burst of light erupted in the corridor, followed by a loud bang. The teacher from the Western Capital was reduced to bones, and only a skeleton remained standing in the corridor. The bricks and tiles piled up and quickly submerged the skeleton. The wall pushed back in front of everyone. The teachers from the Shuofang Academy in front of the wall looked solemn. Suddenly, a middle-aged man sneered, "The teachers from the Shuofang Academy still have the face to say that Lou Ban, the master architect, is from Shuofang. But you can't even see that this wall is Lou Ban's spiritual weapon, called Dust Curtain Sky. You are really ridiculous and deserve to die!" The teachers from the Shuofang Academy were inexplicably sad and angry. They were all professors of this new subject of architecture in the academy, and Lou Ban was also from Shuofang. They did not expect to be blocked by this wall and mocked by the teacher of wall painting from the Western Capital. Since being trapped by this wall, the Shuofang Academy had lost more than ten students who were proficient in the new subject of architecture, and three teachers had also died in the wall. Tong Qingluo coughed and said in a deep voice, "Teacher of the wall painting, is this wall Lou Ban's spiritual weapon?" The teacher of the wall painting was a handsome middle-aged man with eyes like stars and moon, and he said, "This treasure is called Dust Curtain Sky, which is Lou Ban's spiritual weapon. When Lou Ban was buried, it was our senior from the Imperial College who sent him to be buried in the Heavenly Market Wall. At that time, we did not discover this treasure.""Dusty Sky?" The teachers of the Shuofang Academy were both shocked and excited, looking at the wall with greedy anticipation. Spiritual masters who practiced the art of earth and wood construction all knew about the Dusty Sky. Many of these construction spiritual masters' lifelong wish was to see the great saintly spiritual weapon of the Lou Ban Saint, the Dusty Sky! It was rumored that this great saintly spiritual weapon had no fixed form or shape, like dust in the sky formed by the wind! Thus, it was named the Dusty Sky. There were also rumors that this great saintly spiritual weapon could transform into various kinds of buildings, such as towers, palaces, and treasure pavilions, with each possessing different powers. It could even form a building where everything could be done by the building itself, making it easy for people to live in, and everything was at their fingertips. It could also be the most terrifying prison, the scariest cage, the most indestructible fortress, and the most powerful weapon of attack! Although Lou Ban was not canonized by the Emperor of the Eastern Capital and buried with the specifications of a heavenly teacher, his spiritual weapon, Dusty Sky, was recognized as a great saintly spiritual weapon! Before, no one had thought of the Dusty Sky, after all, it was the legendary spiritual weapon of a saint, and it would definitely be collected by a prominent family after the saint's death. How could it be buried in the Jie Hui Mountain? Tong Qingluo's face changed slightly, "Great saintly spiritual weapon! If I could obtain this treasure, my position in the family..." The elegant and handsome muralist said lightly, "Our academy has a deep connection with the Lou Ban Heavenly Teacher. When the Heavenly Teacher Lou was commissioned by the Emperor Yuan to build the Eastern Capital, after it was completed, Emperor Yuan moved the capital from the Western Capital to the Eastern Capital. At that time, the scholars who followed the Heavenly Teacher to build the Eastern Capital later became great figures, and Lou Ban, who taught these scholars in his school, became the supreme holy land of architecture, which is the Earth and Wood Academy in our academy. Architecture, starting from the Earth and Wood Academy, has spread throughout the country, becoming a great academic subject." He glanced at the many teachers of the Shuofang Academy and said, "Although Heavenly Teacher Lou was from Shuofang, the way of earth and wood construction has nothing to do with you." n0velusB.c0MThe Western teachers were ashamed. Tong Qingluo asked, "Muralist, how do we collect the Dusty Sky?" "Collect?" The muralist smiled and said, "Tong family dares to ask for the great saintly spiritual weapon? This is the treasure of the Lou Ban Heavenly Teacher, naturally, it should be handed over to the national treasury for confiscation. The emperor will give it to whoever he wants." Tong Qingluo's eyes flashed with a fierce light, but the muralist did not notice and continued, "The Dusty Sky was refined using the Lou Ban Heavenly Teacher's twelve true methods, which are the twelve basic ways of earth and wood construction, as well as refining methods. Although Heavenly Teacher Lou was a saint in earth and wood construction, he was also a great master in refining in his time!" Su Yun curiously asked, "What is the Lou Ban Heavenly Teacher's twelve true methods?" Everyone looked at him, Su Yun was startled, but saw everyone's expressions become trance-like, and they all averted their gaze. The muralist continued, "The twelve true methods are recorded in the official academy's architectural textbooks, called the Lou Ban Book. As a scholar, you must not have listened carefully in class!" Su Yun quickly activated his Wen Chang token with his blood and qi. In his spiritual realm, various books appeared in front of his spiritual consciousness. He waved his hand lightly, and the Lou Ban Book on architecture began to flip through, and sure enough, the Lou Ban Heavenly Teacher's twelve true methods were recorded on it! Su Yun felt ashamed, he had indeed never read these books. But he had not thought that he had just started school and had not officially started classes, so it was natural that he had not learned them.He carefully examined the twelve true methods recorded in the Lou Ban book, and heard the Painting Wall Master continue, "The twelve true methods are divided into materials, measurements, fighting, arching, supporting, beams, pillars, lifting, bending, strength, sealing, and refining. These twelve methods make up the Dust Curtain Sky. Materials are the materials used in civil engineering!" He placed his palm on the square wall in front of him, and saw the wall recede, revealing a block of bricks protruding from the wall. The Painting Wall Master pulled out a brick and said, "This brick is composed of countless tiny cubes that are almost invisible to the naked eye, so it is called dust." The square brick in his hand suddenly shattered into tiny grains of sand and flowed towards the wall. The Painting Wall Master flipped over his palm, revealing a tiny speck of dust, and said, "Measurement determines the minimum number of the basic materials used in construction. I will enlarge the minimum number of the Dust Curtain Sky for you to see!" He raised his other hand, made a fist, and suddenly opened his five fingers. A small cube suddenly enlarged and rotated above his palm! Everyone was shocked and full of awe for the Dust Curtain Sky. "The materials and measurements in the twelve true methods are the most important! Knowing the materials is to know the upper limit! Knowing the measurements is to know the great tool! The others, fighting, arching, supporting, beams, pillars, lifting, bending, strength, sealing, and refining, are all techniques." Su Yun had a sudden realization and was deeply moved, nodding repeatedly. Jiao Shu'Ao looked at him strangely and took a step to the side, ashamed to be associated with this ignorant spiritualist. The Painting Wall Master walked towards the wall and said in a deep voice, "Follow me!" Everyone followed him, and Tong Qingluo's eyes flickered as she said, "Tong Xuan, you stay here to guard. It won't be peaceful tonight, and someone has infiltrated the city to cause trouble." Tong Xuan was unwilling, but had to comply. The Painting Wall Master broke through the wall and walked inside, explaining the twelve true methods of the Lou Tian Master in detail. Su Yun was excited and learned the twelve true methods quickly by comparing them with the Painting Wall Master's techniques. The Painting Wall Master was also a master of civil engineering. His techniques for deciphering the Dust Curtain Sky were corroborated with the Lou Ban book, which benefited Su Yun greatly. They walked more than ten steps into the wall, and saw the earth and wood constantly changing around them, turning from walls into houses, from houses into halls, from halls into corridors, from corridors into flying bridges, and from flying bridges into boats. The Painting Wall Master led them through, and in a short while, they seemed to have walked miles inside the wall! Suddenly, they appeared in a square hall, with nothing but a coffered ceiling above. Tong Xiuqing and many other Tong family spiritualists and Western teachers from the Shuo Fang Academy followed along and were amazed by the Painting Wall Master's magical abilities. Wutong also secretly nodded, "This Master Painting Wall indeed has some skills..." Just as she thought this, a beam of light shot out from the coffered ceiling and hit the Painting Wall Master's head. His head evaporated on the spot, leaving behind a group of shocked people! Zhai Zhu: Everyone, stay calm and stay put. Here's a 4,000-word chapter! Also, remember to vote for "Edge of the Abyss" and give Miss Renmo a like~
