Chapter 549: The Sorrowful Wish of Yukong Xiu to Overcome the Tribulation

Chapter 549: The Sorrowful Wish of Yukong Xiu to Overcome the Tribulation

The entire Yingzhou world is divided into Kyushu and four islands.

Its land area is so vast that it extends up to seven million miles vertically and covers a full three million miles horizontally.

Such an area is almost unimaginably vast for ordinary people.

However, in the eyes of the monks, this does not seem to be the case.

Especially after reaching the realm of True Lord Yang Shen, they can span thousands of miles with just a thought. To them, such a distance is only a short distance away.

From the Aoki Shrine on Higashiyama Road where Xie Que is located, to the Ten Shogunate, the distance is more than 700,000 miles.

If Xie Que were to travel with Kurokawa Takeshi's cultivation in the four realms, even if he worked day and night without rest, it would still take several months to reach the destination.

Because of this, Xie Que decided to go directly to the Lingshou Division Guards on Dongshan Road to abolish his own onmyoji.

For his father Ichiro Kurokawa, this decision was filled with a sense of reluctance.

Ichiro Kurokawa was not a gifted monk, but his son Takeshi was the most talented Onmyoji he had ever seen in his thousands of years.

However, the power of the shogunate is now like a real sky curtain, shrouding the entire Yingzhou world under its control.

Those former friends and seniors, no matter how powerful their onmyoji are, they can only accept becoming ordinary people in the end.

Or like a bereaved dog, living in fear every day.

Although Takeshi has woken up, the worry in Ichiro's heart has become more and more serious.

Despite this, out of deep respect and understanding for his son, he chose to support Takeshi's decision.

So, they went to Higashiyama Daofan Mansion, intending to visit the Higashiyama daimyo first.

If possible, maybe Wu Si can also join the Ling Shou Division, and there is no need to abolish the cultivation base.

Speaking of this Higashiyama daimyo, from the point of view of the master-student relationship, he can actually be regarded as Ichiro's uncle.

In his early years, he and his father both studied Onmyoji at Aoki Shrine and had a friendship with each other.

However, what Xie Que did not expect was that,

The great uncle directly chose to refuse, claiming that the members of the Lingshou Division were not the ones he could make decisions on, but needed to be reviewed by the Tianshogunate.

Faced with such a situation, Ichiro had also expected it.

After all, this uncle is famous for his selflessness. I had asked him for mercy before, but also failed.

He could only ask Wu Si to go directly to Lingshou Division.

Although cultivation is difficult, it only takes a moment to abolish it.

The abolition of Onmyoji in Lingshou Division was not only to abolish cultivation, but also to formally register to prove one's status as a "good citizen".

In the Lingshou Division, Xie Que went through the painful process of abolishing his cultivation.

When the yin and yang arts and spiritual energy mixed with him were pulled away one by one, the pain made Xie Que feel a splitting headache, and his whole body seemed to be drained and filled with a sense of weakness.

He could no longer feel the presence of the soul in his body.

In order to prevent the onmyojis from rebuilding after losing their strength, the Rei Shouji also set up restrictions in their bodies.

However, for Xie Que, these restrictions did not pose a big problem. After all, he had never thought too much about relearning the art of yin and yang.

Follow the winding Manyo River all the way down.

When Xie Que and Kurokawa Ichiro returned from the prosperous Higashiyama City to the Aoki Shrine dozens of miles away, it was already midnight.

In the night, the simple architectural outline of Aoki Shrine is looming, giving off an ancient and solemn atmosphere.

Xie Que looked up and was surprised to find that there were lights flickering inside the shrine.

The father and son gently opened the door, and a strong smell of medicinal herbs hit their nostrils.

Although this smell is a bit pungent, it makes people feel inexplicably reassuring.

Xie Que walked slowly to the side hall and saw Gongzi sitting half-kneeling on the ground, with his upper body leaning against the wall, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was about to fall asleep.

She held a medicine jar tightly in her arms, and the scent of medicinal herbs from the medicine jar lingered on the tip of his nose.

A green light like a bean shone on Gongzi's face, revealing an indescribable persistence in her tired look.

Sensing someone approaching, Gongzi quickly woke up from her half-asleep state.

She was about to stand up to greet her returning family, but she found that her legs and feet had become a little sore from staying in one position for a long time.

However, this did not affect the joy on her face.

"Brother, you are finally back..."

Gongzi's voice was filled with endless longing and concern.

She looked at Xie Que, her eyes sparkling with crystal light:

"People in the village say that after you become an ordinary person from an onmyoji, your body will be weak for a long time. This is a soup I picked from the mountains and made specially for you."

As Gongzi spoke, he handed the medicine jar in his arms to Xie Que:

"It's okay to become an ordinary person. I can always stay with my brother..."

Xie Que took the medicine jar and gently rubbed the other person's hair.

"Thanks a lot."

Hearing this, Gongzi shook his head with joy:

"It's not hard, as long as my brother can come back safely."

There was a tremor in her voice, a mixture of excitement and joy.

In the past few years, Wu Si has been immersed in practice. At the same time, in order to avoid the pursuit of Ling Shou Si, and due to the particularity of the method he practiced, he has always maintained an indifferent attitude towards Gong Zi.

This kind of indifference made Gongzi suffer pain and loss silently in her heart.

However, now it seems that her brother has undergone some changes, which has rekindled hope in Yumiko's heart.

Kurokawa Ichiro felt heavy because of Wu Si's loss of cultivation. Without saying anything, he walked directly into the room and closed the door.

He needs time to accept this fact and time to adjust his emotions.

Gongzi looked at Wu Si's handsome face, her heart throbbed and her face turned slightly red.

She quickly changed the subject and said, "The medicine has gone cold. Don't drink it yet. I'll heat it up."

With that said, she turned and walked towards the woodshed, trying to find some firewood.

However, Xie Que stopped her and said with a smile:

"No, you should go and rest early. We have already eaten on the ship, and we can't drink this medicine now."

Gongzi listened and nodded obediently: "Okay, brother, you have to go to bed early and I will make some medicine for you tomorrow."

After Gongzi left, Xie Que went to get some medicinal plants.

He returned to his room and began to carefully check the surrounding environment to ensure that his actions would not be noticed by the outside world.

He closed the doors and windows tightly, and hung a sheet behind the window to completely cover the room.

After completing these preparations, Xie Que sat cross-legged on the ground and began to perform an internal self-examination.

He closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths to calm down.

Then, he began to carefully check his physical condition, feeling the condition of his body and the width of his meridians.

Wu Si, who has practiced onmyoji, has a body that is naturally different from ordinary people.

"The so-called Yin Yang technique is actually not much different from Taoism."

"It was born mainly because the environment in Yingzhou was barren of spiritual energy and the concentration of spiritual energy was extremely low, so it evolved such a unique way of practice."

This way of practice is the crystallization of wisdom created by Yingzhou practitioners in order to adapt to the environment and improve themselves under the condition of limited resources.

In Yingzhou, when onmyojis are in the four realms, they will try their best to understand the power of yin and yang and the five elements.

In this way, they continuously circulate the limited spiritual energy in the body, thereby achieving the maximum use limit.

The subtlety of this method is that it allows practitioners to effectively advance their own spiritual realm in an environment with thin spiritual energy.

However, due to the lack of spiritual energy in the environment, the amount of spiritual energy that can be stored in their bodies is very limited.

At the same time, the number of their soul thoughts is not large.

Although this method of practice can speed up practice to a certain extent, it also has obvious flaws.

Due to the lack of strength in the body of the onmyojis, the realm of the onmyojis in Yingzhou is somewhat illusory.

There may even be a situation where even ten practitioners of Yin and Yang in the Five Realms cannot compete with a true Lord of Yang Shen.

The method Kurokawa Takeshi previously practiced did not originate from the traditional Onmyojitsu handed down from Aoki Shrine.

What he practiced was a mysterious method that Kurokawa Ichiro accidentally acquired while away in his early years, called "The Demon King Yama's Soul Control Book".

Precisely because of practicing this unique method, Wu Si's character has also been affected, making him appear a little sinister, which makes people feel a little scared.

And after the Yin and Yang surgery was abolished, the influence of this technique still remained in Xie Que's body.

The aura of Hades floated in his Dantian, and his whole body exuded a strong aura of death.

If you are practicing martial arts, this is absolutely impossible.

Death energy is the deadly enemy of energy and blood. If it is not eliminated, it will be difficult for martial arts to enter the country.

But for Xie Que, this is not a problem at all, and it happens to be a help.

A long time ago, Xie Que and Shanzhen jointly used the methods of the underworld to deduce martial arts.

I got three martial arts classics: "The Great Collection of Ten Directions Swords of Mahayana", "The Compassionate Wish Prison Sky Repair Tribulation" and "Ksitigarbha's True Book of Destruction of Dingye".

And all three of them can be directly cultivated to the stage of martial arts.

Xie Que pondered for a long time and chose the "Brief Wish Prison Sky Cultivation to Overcome Tribulation" as the martial arts technique for this body.

The foundation of this method comes from Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and there is no need to cover it up when using it in the world of Yingzhou.

Moreover, the strong death energy in the body can also be used as the material for this method.

…

After a sleepless night, it wasn't until a glimmer of light appeared in the east that Xie Que opened the door.

Last night, he used several common medicinal herbs to cleanse his muscles and cut out his marrow to remove all impurities from his body.

Otherwise, under the cover of death energy, even he would have difficulty sensing a trace of energy and blood.

After washing up and removing all the dirt on the body,

Xie Que climbed up to the roof of the shrine and sat on the highest place he could find, looking far into the east.

After a long time, a hint of fish belly white finally rose in the east,

In Xie Que's eyes, countless auras between heaven and earth were dyed purple at this moment.

And what he was waiting for was exactly this moment!

He quickly began to breathe in and out with a special rhythm, and the purple air was swallowed into his belly in an instant, and was pressed to his dantian.

At this moment, the purple energy began to entangle the death energy in Xie Que's body.

Xie Que also stood up immediately, jumped from the roof into the courtyard, and began to perform a set of boxing techniques.

After completing a set of movements, he was already dripping with sweat.

But Xie Que didn't end it, he still started from scratch, practicing the boxing technique over and over again.

Until a long time later, accompanied by a crisp sound of airflow breaking through the air,

Xie Que's whole body suddenly shook, and an electric current flowed through his body.

"Qi and blood!"

He was not surprised, and he also felt the existence of qi and blood at this time.

But at this moment, the purple qi had dissipated, and the dead qi in his body became active again.

Xie Que had no choice but to give up and stopped practicing boxing.

But to this point, it was enough for Xie Que.

As long as there was qi and blood, even if there was only a trace of it, it was enough for him to practice "Beiyuan Yukong Xiudujie".

He slowed down his somewhat rapid breathing, stood still, and sank his qi into his dantian.

At this time, Kurokawa Ichiro also opened the door. He had already noticed the movement outside, but he did not disturb his son.

Seeing that he seemed to have finished "training", he pushed the door open.

"Becoming a warrior seems to be a good choice."

"Although you can only practice to the strength of a young master (three realms), at least you have the power to protect yourself."

Ichiro smiled and said to his son, and then left directly.

The warriors in Yingzhou world have no blood and qi, they just sharpen their bodies.

Even the strongest can only be comparable to the Yin-Yang masters of the third realm.

And these Yin-Yang masters of the third realm are not so good. If you take any martial arts master from the Great Zhou, I am afraid that he can easily sweep away the so-called warriors of the third realm.

After Yilang left, Xie Que also picked up the medicine pot sent by Gongzi yesterday and drank it all.

He knew the medicinal properties of it as soon as he smelled it, and it happened to be some herbs that replenish qi and blood.

For him now, it is also very useful.

"But these are far from enough..."

In the following days, Xie Que began to practice martial arts step by step.

After all, Yingzhou is completely isolated from the outside world, and even the underworld cannot sense the situation.

Xie Que wanted to speed up the progress, but there was no way.

If he was discovered by the Sun Lotus God, I am afraid that his body would be ashes in an instant.

"If you want to practice Prison Void Tribulation, you must first integrate the dead energy into your whole body."

"Fascia, skin, muscles, blood vessels, internal organs, bones, marrow, and even brain marrow must be infected with dead energy."

"This method is to constantly stimulate the blood and qi with dead energy, so that you can change towards a stronger physical body."

"But at present, it seems that there are still some problems with resources."

"Poor in literature and rich in martial arts..."

But fortunately, Aoki Shrine also left a lot of wealth before.

Xie Que took out all the gold and silver, and Ichiro didn't care much.

Around this Aoki Shrine, except for two villages, there are all wild mountains and wilderness, and many people in the village make a living by hunting.

Xie Que does not plan to hunt by himself, but directly purchases from those hunters.

After all, he does not need any battle training, and hunting is time-consuming. (End of this chapter)
