Chapter 535: Bing Ding Sheng Ghost Talisman

There is naturally a reason for learning Fengdu Method.

Li Yan had a clear idea in his mind.

Firstly, he was practicing the Luofeng Sutra, which had laid a solid foundation. Changing to practice other methods was not a good choice.

On the path of cultivation, it’s not about who has the best skills.

It's about who goes further.

The lifespan of mortals is limited. Even if you were given the method of the Jade Emperor, how many people could survive the calamity of life and death, or even the subsequent calamity?

The second is the information revealed by the old Taoist.

The number of Beidi sect disciples who practice Fengdu Dharma is extremely small due to Beidi's black laws.

Currently, he is the only living ghost who practices the "Luofeng Sutra".

It is even more rare to practice two methods at the same time.

Not only that, there is also a change in identity.

Li Yan’s experience in his previous life taught him that the best choice in life is often not those nice-sounding names, but scarcity.

There is absolutely nothing wrong in practicing Fengdu Dharma.

"Pretty smart..."

The Taoist priest Juechenzi nodded slightly, obviously approving of his choice.

Then, the old Taoist continued, "As for the remaining two, they are the Demon King Method and the True Martial Method."

"You should know the so-called Demon King Method, which is the method of controlling the Demon Kings of the Six Palaces, such as the Demon King 'Zonglingcheng' of Zhou Jueyin Palace and the Demon King 'Xiangweiyuan' of Taisha Liangshi Palace."

"This method is a forbidden technique and is difficult to practice. When Zhang Tianshi suppressed the Six Palace Demon Kings, he borrowed the power of the Heavenly Court. If a mortal wants to use it, he will be attacked if he is not careful."

"Since you have practiced the Luofeng Sutra, you can use the name of the underworld to drive it, which overlaps with this method. You don't need to practice."

"There is also the Zhenwu Method, which is similar to the Zhenwu Palace. It is famous for its martial arts, but it is not as profound as the Zhenwu Palace."

After listening to the old Taoist's introduction, Li Yan hesitated, "Can we only choose two methods?"

Juechenzi said calmly: "You can't chew too much if you are greedy. If you are greedy, you will achieve nothing."

Li Yan frowned, as if thinking about something.

An idea suddenly occurred to him, and he said, "Senior, could you tell me more about the Dizhi Sect? I heard that you can summon Officer Wen Ling?"

Li Yan is not an extremely cunning person, but he is very experienced in the underworld.

The old Taoist Juechenzi just gave a detailed introduction, but he set traps in his words, intentionally leading people in the direction of Tianpeng Method and Fengdu Method.

However, the methods of the Diji Sect were only mentioned briefly.

You know, the old Taoist is from the Dizhi Sect. Although he also belongs to the Beidi lineage, they are somewhat distant and close.

You say this on purpose, as if you are hiding something?
After hearing this, the old Taoist was silent for a while, but he did not hide it. He nodded and said, "It is indeed possible. Don't blame me for having selfish motives."

"The other methods of the Dizhi Sect require worshipping secular gods and borrowing their power. They are the methods of temple prayers and are of no use to you. But this secret method of summoning Wen Lingguan is truly extraordinary."

"Wen Lingguan is the reincarnation of a celestial being. When he was born, there were cloud seals of heavenly script on his ribs. They were the twenty-four characters 'Heavenly Book of Ten Thousand Tribulations' and the sixteen characters 'Demon Chasing Summoning'. They are the secrets of our sect that are not passed on."

"Back then, our ancestor Zhang Jixian specially made the 'Bing Ding Talisman', also known as the 'Bing Ding Sheng Gui Talisman', and engraved this heavenly book in cloud seal script."

"If you want to summon Officer Wen Ling, this treasure is the key."

After hearing this, Li Yan understood instantly.

After all, he is not a member of the Dizhi Sect. If he learns this method, he will definitely take the treasure away, and then the Dizhi Sect will lose it forever.

Li Yan pondered for a moment and said, "If that's the case, then forget it."

No matter what the reason is, I am already very grateful to receive the teachings. It is really unacceptable to take away the treasures of other people's sects.

Unexpectedly, the old Taoist was silent for a while, but sighed: "Forget it, people can plan nine times, but it is not as good as God's plan. Since we are no longer destined to have this treasure, if we force it to stay, it will only bring disaster to ourselves."

After saying that, he stood up tremblingly, carefully took out a brocade box from the secret compartment of the study table, came to Li Yan and opened it.

There was only a token inside.

It is unknown what material it is made of. The black wood looks like black jade, and there are golden lines on it. Apart from the complicated talismans, there are incomprehensible handwriting on both sides, shaped like cloud patterns.

When Li Yan saw this, he was suddenly startled.

This item is indeed a treasure. As soon as he opened the brocade box, the sharp breath made him pause.

There was a majestic and ferocious force rushing towards him.

Taoist Juechenzi looked reluctant and said in a deep voice: "This treasure is the 'Bing Ding Sheng Gui Fu', which was made by the Heavenly Master himself back then, using six-turn lightning-struck Yin Chen wood."

"On one side is engraved the twenty-four characters 'The Book of Ten Thousand Tribulations', and on the other side is engraved the sixteen characters 'The Book of Chasing Demons and Summoning Servant'."

As if seeing Li Yan's hesitation and refusal, the old Taoist sighed slightly and pushed the box towards him, "Take it. When I was young, I could barely drive this treasure, but now, I am powerless."

"The younger generation in the sect has withered away, and there is no one left to inherit. I only hope that you can obtain this treasure, punish evil and promote good, and live up to the reputation of this treasure."

"Thank you, senior."

Having said that, Li Yan was no longer shy.

As his enemies become increasingly powerful, he must have enough trump cards.

Summoning Wen Lingguan is certainly not that easy, but as long as there is hope, it can become a killer move to break the impasse.

"All right…"

Taoist Juechenzi retracted his gaze and said in a deep voice: "While your mind is still clear, I will teach you the essence today."

"The key to Fengdu's method lies in the three shifts."

"The Master Class, the Saint Class, and the General Class. The Master and Saint Class need no introduction, the Imperial Master Zhongtian Ziwei, the Three Officials and Four Saints Beiji, and the Emperor of Fengdu. They are all in the book of the method, but those who can succeed have not appeared yet."

"I mainly teach the generals, the generals of the six palaces and six caves, the military commanders of the Dongyue and Xitai, and the officials of the underworld..."

"To practice Fengdu law, one must have the same position and status. As a living ghost messenger, you naturally have an advantage. You can cooperate with Jiuquan's orders, recruit officers from the two platforms, and send out the army to fight the Nine Mang Eight Evils..."

"The generals of Fengdu are divided into eight inner and outer generals, called the Eight Evils, a total of sixteen generals, who come according to the directions of the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams. The judge sits in the center palace, starts the war, steps on the Gang, flies to the emperor, and chants the Six Palaces Curse..."

"After arresting them, they will be put in prison according to the laws of the Nv Qing Tian and taken to Fengdu. Generals must not use them recklessly, otherwise they will suffer..."

…………

Before I knew it, it was getting dark.

"Thank you, senior."

Li Yan bowed solemnly to the Taoist master Juechenzi.

During his practice, he had mostly relied on his own exploration. Now, with the careful guidance of the old Taoist priest, he not only completed his inheritance, but also gained a deeper understanding of Fengdu's law enforcement.

If it was a wild way before.

Now the system has received formal training.

After talking for a long time, Taoist Juechenzi also looked exhausted, and said: "Humanity has changed. Since you are a living ghost messenger and have the position of a heavenly official, I am afraid you are also a person who will be calamity."

"Remember, even if you accept the position of the Dharma Realm, you cannot be separated from the word 'human'. How should you follow the path of humanity and the path of heaven? You need to have a balance in your heart..."

After that, he waved his hand and said, "I'm tired, let's go."

Li Yan bowed respectfully again, turned around and left.

When leaving the courtyard, he turned his head and looked again.

Under the statue, the old Taoist priest was drinking tea with his head down, staring blankly at the oil lamp, as if he was recalling the past.

Li Yan knew that this senior would not live long.

Taoist Juechenzi told him a lot.

Back then, the other party was also a genius with amazing talent. He secretly obtained the position of Heavenly Official and even met Zhenren Sanfeng, who was favored by him.

Unfortunately, bad luck.

The old Taoist has practiced cultivation for a lifetime. He had the opportunity to use his position as a heavenly official to complete his mission, obtain the divine power, and go further on this path.

Maybe there is still a glimmer of hope to become a god. Unfortunately, in the era when the old Taoist lived, there was no change in humanity, and he waited for most of his life before he got a chance to capture him.

Even worse, it's not finished yet.

Unlike the living Yin messenger, the duties of the Heavenly Official are limited.

Li Yan received the inheritance from the old Taoist priest, which also meant that he officially took away his position as a heavenly official...

This is life. Even if you have lofty ambitions and the skills to slay dragons, there is nothing you can do if you are unlucky.

"Young Master Li, let's go."

Just as Li Yan was deep in thought, Ling Yunzi came over, took a peek inside, and tactfully didn't ask any further questions.

"Sorry for the long wait."

Li Yan bowed and followed the other party down the mountain.

It was already dark and the mountain path was slippery, but for the two of them, it was no problem at all and they walked as fast as the wind.

"Young Master Li, we have already discussed the building."

Ling Yunzi smiled and said, "You are going up the mountain at the right time. The several blessed places on Zhaogong Mountain are all empty. I have already booked one for you. It is the place where Zhao Lingguan is said to have practiced in seclusion."

He mentioned this on purpose.

Originally, he was just instinctively fulfilling his duties towards Li Yan, but what he saw in the past two days made him have another judgment in his mind.

Li Yan's importance is probably far greater than he imagined.

Even the head teacher underestimated him.

Zhao Gongming's secluded cave is the best paradise in Qingcheng Mountain. Even Ning Fengzi has practiced in it. It is basically not open to the public.

He took some effort, even asking the head teacher for help, before he could apply.

Li Yan understood and immediately bowed, "Thank you, Taoist priest. If you need anything in the future, you can contact me."

Everyone was carrying the fancy sedan, and Li Yan was no fool.

This Ling Yunzi is not only highly accomplished in Taoism, but has also become a guest concierge at a young age. He is also the confidant of the current Qingcheng Sect Master, so naturally we have to build a good relationship with him.

Even the heavenly world cannot be separated from the ways of the world, let alone the human world?
Therefore, those who are in the right way will have many supporters, while those who are in the wrong way will have few supporters.

Isn’t the way of the world also the Tao?

After returning to Chaoyang Cave, it was already late at night. Li Yan and Wang Daoxuan briefly chatted about what they had seen and heard that day, ate some food casually, and then returned to their room.

Under the candlelight, he took out the "Bing Ding Sheng Gui Talisman" and held it in his hand to examine it carefully.

This treasure is an unexpected surprise.

Marshal Wen is in charge of life and death and the exorcism of plague, so this magic weapon itself can restrain the poison.

More importantly, it can be used as a magic weapon to support Fengdu. Combined with the Five-sided Luofeng flag, it can also be used to summon generals from Quantai.

Of course, this is also an altar method, a bit like an upgraded version of his Fengdu Kaoshao Dafa. As his Taoism level improves, he can also borrow the power of the underworld.

At that time, all the Gangling orders can be used for military operations.

In addition, one must also complete the "Luofeng Sutra".

They will also practice new techniques.

I'm afraid this retreat will last for a long time.

Zhaogong Mountain, where the blessed land is located, is some distance away from Qingcheng Mountain, but closer to Guan County.

After the building is successfully constructed, you can go directly there.

Thinking of this, Li Yan couldn't help but look out the window.

Qingcheng Mountain is a blessed place with a strong innate evil energy. When the eagles and falcons arrive at the beginning of winter, they will be suppressed, so no news has been transmitted in the past two days.

I don't know what happened to Sharifi and the others.

What is the situation now...

…………

A village outside Guan County, near Dujiangyan.

"Here we are, right here!"

Wang Tianzuo, dressed in black, spoke in a low voice.

His face was still a little pale. Normally, he should have rested for a while after being possessed, but his good friend had been murdered, so he had to get to the bottom of it.

Pointing to the village ahead, Wang Tianzuo said in a deep voice: "This village is called Heishui Village. Brother Lu is the village's magician. He is very respected and has great prestige among the Xuanmen monks near Guan County."

Sharifei was also hiding in the bushes. He stroked his chin and said, "He looks very ordinary. I don't know why he lives in seclusion here."

Hearing this, Lu San turned his head and looked to the side.

In the shadow of a big tree nearby, the old weasel was chewing some fruit. He was still wearing tattered clothes, standing on his two legs, and had already begun to imitate how a human walks.

"Squeak, cluck..."

This old weasel was not very skilled in Taoism, but he was very spiritual and could understand human language. He used the upper language to explain things to Lu San for a long time.

After listening to this, Lu San seemed to be thinking about something, and turned around and said, "The Meishan Brotherhood has been around for quite a while. Originally, there were many people who worshipped Master Erlang. On weekdays, they searched the mountains and cut down temples, exorcised evil spirits, collected small demons, and protected the area. They were considered to be helping Master Erlang to show his divine power."

"Every spring, they would summon the little demons to check for leaks in the Dujiangyan dam, organize the people to do annual repairs, and then hold a sacrificial ceremony on the Qingming Festival."

"They started in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but in the Song Dynasty, because the royal family designated Erlang Zhenjun as an obscene worship, some people took the opportunity to cause chaos. Many members of the Brotherhood were resentful and joined them, resulting in heavy losses."

"Later, they hid in the dark. Gradually, the 'Meishan Brothers' became the 'Meishan Seven Brothers'."

"These little demons are all spirits from the nearby mountains. They cooperate with the Brotherhood to protect and worship Erlang Zhenjun."

"As for why Brother Lu was murdered? They don't know either."

"I see…"

Sharifei raised his eyebrows and signaled with his eyes: "Brother Lu San, ask them again, have they seen Master Erlang?"

The purpose of these people coming to Guan County is to find clues about the reincarnation of Erlang Zhenjun. These little demons and the Meishan brothers are naturally the focus.

Wang Tianzuo, who was standing next to him, was stunned when he heard this.

He finally understood the purpose of Sharifei and his companions.

But this matter sounds really incredible.

Could it be that there really is a True Lord Erlang?

Lu San nodded and continued to ask questions. However, after talking to the old weasel for a long time, he shook his head and said, "They just believe in Master Erlang and have never seen his true self."

"That's strange, isn't it here..."

Sharifei frowned slightly when he heard this.

Wang Tianzuo suppressed his shock and said in a deep voice: "Let's go to Brother Lu's house first, maybe we can find some clues."

"There are many dogs in this village. It depends on your ability."

"It doesn't matter."

Lu San stood up, pinched his fingers, and whistled a few times. The dogs in the village immediately went back into their houses, trembling in fear and not daring to bark.

Then they got up and sneaked into the village in the dark.

"That's the room!"

After walking a short distance, Wang Tianzuo pointed to a small courtyard in the distance.

The gate to the yard was closed and it was pitch dark.

"Wait a minute!"

Just as Sha Lifei was about to step forward, he was stopped by Lu San, who looked dignified and stared at the courtyard, "There's something strange in there."

"I heard a woman crying..."
