Chapter 32 Preparing to Stay Temporarily
Shi Xuan carefully checked the surroundings and found no problems before he walked to the table and checked the books again to make sure there were no curses or poisons on them. Then he picked up one of the books and started to read.
The cover of this book is pure black, with dots of white bones and skulls dotted on it forming four large characters: "The Dafa of Fighting Ghosts", which looks strange and evil.
Shi Xuan looked through it carefully. This is a fairly good evil cultivation method. Although it is unsustainable after reaching the Soul Stage, it can be seen that the person who created this method has not yet reached the Golden Core Stage, but In this world where the true Dharma is hard to find, it can be considered a good and wonderful method. It is true that Shi Xuan's own cultivation level is not high, but he possesses a supreme method and a method that directly points to the golden elixir stage. He has the vision and insight to judge the quality of a method.
Most of the content in "The Ghost Fighting Technique" is of little use to Shi Xuan who has already determined the technique, such as blood sacrifices to forty-nine living people born at a specific time in exchange for an increase in the chance of breaking through to the realm of souls leaving the body, and other Some methods use living people to practice magic and supernatural powers. These are things that work quickly but have serious side effects.
On the contrary, Shi Xuan benefited a lot from the content about ghosts in "Ghost Fighting Dafa". After all, this is a book named after ghost fighting. The various explanations and applications of ghosts in it were refreshing to Shi Xuan. Shi Xuan does not like these methods of conquering ghosts, but he sees some understanding of the soul from the content of these ghosts. Ghosts are ultimately transformed from human souls, which is exactly what Shi Xuan needs to understand most at this stage.
This is not to say that there is no such content in "Baolu", there is, but it is too difficult to understand. Even with the "Gui Zhen Jing" as a comparison, Shi Xuan, who did not have the guidance of a famous teacher, found it extremely painful to understand. If you think even slightly wrong about these contents, it will be a lot of fun. It is definitely not an extravagant hope to die from being possessed.
Now there is such a book on how to understand the soul from another perspective. Even if it is still superficial, it is just such superficiality that it makes Shi Xuan suddenly enlightened. Many of the unclear contents in "Baolu" are answered one by one, which makes Shi Xuan understand. Xuan felt a little itchy and unbearable. If it wasn't for the wrong time and place, he would have wanted to sit down immediately to practice and prove it.
Resisting the impulse in his heart, Shi Xuan continued to read the content about ghosts in "The Great Method of Fighting Ghosts", which seemed to be a waste of sleep and food. It was not until the sound of footsteps came that Shi Xuan woke up.
Yan Jujian and Ding Mingde walked cautiously towards the depths of the cave, looking left and right, with cold sweat on their heads. When they saw Shi Xuan, they let out a long breath and looked relaxed.
Seeing the two people's appearance, Shi Xuan was a little curious: "Who are Brother Yan and Brother Mingde?"
Ding Mingde raised his sleeves and wiped away the cold sweat: "Brother Ziang, we saw that you haven't come out for almost an hour. We were worried that something had happened inside, so we came over to check with trepidation." In fact, the two of them did not dare to come in at first, and even thought about running away. But thinking that if Shi Xuan was finished, they wouldn't be able to run very far even if they wanted to, so they might as well come in and give it a try.
"Ha, the poor Taoist was so happy to see the hunting spirit that he forgot the time as soon as he took this book." Shi Xuan then realized that he was too absorbed in reading and didn't care about the passage of time at all.
Yan Jujian and Ding Mingde looked at the book on the stone and opened their mouths at the same time, but still did not speak. Shi Xuan understood their curiosity and yearning for Taoism, but this technique is not suitable for spreading, but for spreading. It is best for the two of them to ask for their own skills, so that they can understand that Taoism is precious and should not be taught lightly, so he changed the subject: "Brother Yan, I wonder if you can find your friend?"
Yan Jujian took out a belt: "This is the belt of a certain friend. He is good at concealed weapons, so he asked Tang Sect Tang Tianqing to make this belt specially. Because he provided all the materials himself, it is quite rare. It's a thing, so the belt should be considered unique. Alas, Brother Liu has always been unruly. When we last met, he even said that he would challenge the five masters one by one after his hard training. Unexpectedly, he would become a delicacy in the monster's belly. It is sad. "
After a pause, Yan Jujian continued: "Those bones were mixed together, and it was no longer possible to distinguish them. I and Brother Mingde have buried them together and built a big grave. This belt, I will take back to Brother Liu's former residence." Build a tomb."
"Brother Zi'ang, I and Brother Yan just found a place similar to a kitchen and a prison. Unfortunately, there are no living people in it. There are a lot of herbs and ingredients in the kitchen." Ding Mingde suddenly remembered the last discovery.
Shi Xuan thought of the herbs outside Zhuangzi. He couldn't take them away. It was better to practice here for a while. He happened to have a deeper understanding of the content of "Baolu" and needed to practice quietly to confirm it, so he said to the two of them: "I'm a poor Taoist." After this battle, I have gained some insights into some cultivation matters, and I want to concentrate on cultivation in this village. If you two have anything important to do, you can leave. "
Yan Jujian and Ding Mingde looked at each other, and Yan Jujian said first: "I am a wanderer in the world. I have nothing to do except looking for old friends. Why don't I stay in this village for a while and deal with Brother Shi?" Some chores allow Brother Shi to concentrate on his cultivation, and he should also repay the kindness of saving his life. Brother Shi should not stop someone from repaying his kindness. "
When Ding Mingde saw that Yan Jujian wanted to stay, he immediately expressed his position: "I, I, I don't even have the money to go back. No, I am saying that it is better to live in Zhuangzi for some time, and it is not in vain to come out."
Ding Mingde became anxious and spoke incoherently. Shi Xuan suppressed a smile and nodded in agreement with the two of them. When he was practicing, it was really a good thing to have someone to help him cook. But it doesn't mean that you will always have people cook for you from now on, enjoy it when you encounter it, do it yourself if you don't encounter it, enjoy it without indulging in it, this is the mentality of Shi Xuan's cultivation.
Seeing Shi Xuan nodding, Yan Jujian thought for a moment and said to Shi Xuan: "Brother Shi, the ingredients I saw in the kitchen just now are mainly live sheep, live cows, and live pigs. After looking at it, it's enough for the three of us. It’s been a month, but there are no ingredients for vegetarian dishes, and some of them are not very good.”
"These monsters and ghosts eat blood. They don't eat vegetables. Brother Yan, please go out and buy some vegetables and fruits. Eating only meat is not good for your health." Shi Xuan added in his heart as he also gets bored easily. , although for him, it is not a problem for his trained body to only supplement meat.
"By the way, Brother Yan, this is the money for the purchase." Shi Xuan took out the money from his pocket.
Yan Jujian refused: "Actually, Brother Shi, you don't know something. When we were looking for the corpses just now, we found some gold, silver, jade and precious stones from those corpses. I estimate there are tens of thousands of taels."
"Up, tens of thousands! Brother Yan, why didn't you see it?" Ding Mingde was shocked.
"Brother Mingde, weren't you disgusted when you first saw the corpses and didn't dare to approach them? You just came here when we were digging a hole together at the end." Yan Jujian glanced at Shi Xuan and saw that Shi Xuan was not very interested in money. Then he continued to say to Ding Mingde: "Don't worry, I will set aside some money for you. Haha, my wife's money will also be set aside for you." Since the meeting, the other two people, who had never seen Yan Jujian joking, couldn't react, but It is understandable that Yan Jujian feels relaxed after getting his revenge.
After saying this, Yan Jujian and Ding Mingde took their leave and went out to prepare the tiger meat delicacies for noon, leaving Shi Xuan to practice in peace here.
Since Shi Xuan was interrupted, he put down "The Great Law of Fighting Ghosts" and picked up another book. This book looked new, but it was dirty, greasy, and stained with blood. There was no writing on the cover. When he turned it over, It’s actually the two-headed tiger’s practice notes!
According to the Two-Headed Tiger himself, I was born with two heads. My mother died and my father did not know where he went. However, I was clever and secretly came to Lijia Village to hunt livestock. I listened to the lectures at a private school and actually understood the words. Later, two volumes of Taoist secrets and a long banner were obtained from the corpse of an old Taoist in the mountains. One volume was "The Great Method of Fighting Ghosts", and the other was the refining and sacrificial method of the magic weapon "White Bone Soul-Serving Flag" attached to the Dafa. That long flag is naturally the "White Bone Soul-Serving Flag".
The two-headed tiger naturally started practicing as if it had found a treasure, but soon it discovered that it had a big problem, that is, the two heads often quarreled, which even caused memory problems. The Taoist experience was sometimes forgotten, but later from Li I secretly learned to take notes from the teacher at Jiacun Private School, and I gradually minimized the impact of this problem.
After learning to take notes, the Two-Headed Tiger also fell in love with writing notes. He often wrote some of Tiger's personal affairs on them, which also allowed Shi Xuan to understand some things through the notes.
Seeing this, Shi Xuan finally felt less ashamed. The monster who could take notes was just a special case after all. Continuing to scroll down, there are some cultivation experiences of the two-headed tiger. Compared with the "Ghost Fighting Dafa", it is somewhat helpful to Shi Xuan. The following is the initial cultivation of the two-headed tiger, which bloodbathed Lijia Village and occupied the city. here.
It was mentioned in the notes that the kind of ghost that Shi Xuan has never seen is a two-headed tiger that combines its own talent of transforming into a ghost with the method of refining corpse slaves in the "Yugui Dafa" and certain functions of the "White Bone Soul Service Banner" Some of the villagers in Lijia Village were eaten by the two-headed tiger as the refined flesh slaves, some failed to be refined and were eaten, and a small number became such flesh slaves.
This kind of physical slave eats blood, is not afraid of the strong sunlight, has a hard body, and is as strong as an ox. It also has the ability of ghosts to absorb Yang Qi. According to the completeness of the spiritual preservation after successful refining, it is divided into top grade and medium grade. High quality and inferior quality. Those ghosts of farmers and women are low-grade physical slaves with relatively low spiritual intelligence. They can only accept simple orders and move slowly. After the two-headed tiger later learned to grow herbs to meet the prescription requirements, these low-grade physical slaves became useful.
A middle-grade physical slave retains complete memories of his past life, and his intelligence is inferior to that of his lifetime, but there is no problem in acting normally. Because the Two-Headed Tiger practices evil Dafa and often needs living people to make blood food or materials, these middle-grade physical slaves are sent to various places to liaise with human traffickers and buy living people and send them to the mountains. When he meets someone suitable, he often goes out to trick him into the mountains himself.
