If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 273: Opening the altar to invite the gods

"How can a person who has a physical body completely destroyed and his soul eaten up still remain immortal and continue to transform into an immortal?" Xiao Yu asked.

“On the road to becoming an immortal, there are three disasters and six calamities that need to be overcome, and each disaster is extremely terrifying.

If you can't bear it by force, you can only rely on cheating.

Corpse transformation is one of the methods to avoid the three disasters and become an immortal. It involves abandoning the physical body and allowing the soul to ascend to become an immortal.

For an ordinary person like you, faking your death can only deceive others.

The semi-immortal who specialized in practicing the method of corpse transformation used the Taoist secret technique to avoid heavenly calamity, eliminate sinful debts, and could easily deceive a living person.

If you want to ask what the secret technique is and how to dissolve the corpse specifically."

Taoist Dog Meat sighed: "The method of corpse transformation is the most advanced secret technique of the immortals. If I had known about it, I would have practiced it myself a long time ago."

Xiaoyu looked thoughtful. Wukong's seventy-two transformations were designed to deceive "God" and avoid disasters.

Taoist Dog Meat added: "Of course, the Corpse Reincarnation Immortal can only deceive ordinary people. No one dares to use the Corpse Reincarnation method in front of an immortal, and it cannot deceive an immortal."

He looked at her deeply and said, "I heard that an immortal has compiled a book on how to identify corpses and liberate themselves. Have you learned similar techniques?"

"If you can't even fool the immortals, how can you fool 'God'? God is even worse than the immortals?" Xiao Yu just asked, and then he thought: "Could it be that 'God' does not refer to 'God', but a test set by 'God' specifically for the immortals?"

Taoist Dog Meat frowned and said: "Look how far I am from becoming an immortal now?
Only great immortals can answer this question, ordinary immortals may not know. "

Xiao Yu asked again: "Why would an immortal study this if he has nothing else to do? Everyone wants to become an immortal, but it's not easy, so why are you so anxious to get involved?"

The dog meat Taoist rolled his eyes, "Do you think the method of corpse transformation is unchanging? Today you deceived the 'God' and were so proud of yourself. Will the 'God' learn from his mistakes?
As 'God' grows, the immortals need to grow even more and improve the corpse-reincarnation method."

"That makes sense!" Xiao Yu nodded, leaned close to his ear, and explained in a low voice: "Chi Lingzi is very good at illusion, you know?
I have tortured Chi Lingzi's Yin Spirit and secretly mastered a magical power of illusion.

Seeing the leader of Minshan die tragically at the hands of the Ghost King, I was so grief-stricken and angry that I almost couldn't help but jump out to assassinate King Lu.

Then, quite suddenly, an idea struck me, and I felt that his death was an illusion, so I said he was not dead."

As long as the old farmer in Minshan has not transformed into a corpse-reincarnating immortal, his "method of killing" will not disappear from the Purple Mansion.

His method of corpse transformation can deceive "God" but it can't deceive her "Great Dad".

But Da Mie Ba cannot be made public.

"Just based on a feeling, can you dare to make such a serious oath?" the Dog Meat Taoist priest asked doubtfully.

"The feeling is inexplicably strong, and I have always trusted my feelings. It is because of this that I have survived until now," Xiaoyu said.

"Alas, you are his fate. It is inevitable that he will fail in his military plan after meeting you." sighed the dog-meat Taoist priest.

Xiaoyu likes to hear this.

As long as people don't say that it's her fate, she likes others to use "it's her fate" or "destiny" to explain all difficult problems.

She further explained, “I was purely kind-hearted. The prince, the princess, and the heroes of Shudong can all testify for me. When everyone was about to run away, I stopped them and told them that the leader of Minshan was not dead. I did this to save him from the ghost king who was going to eat him.

The leader sacrificed his life for justice and died heroically. I know he is alive. How can I stand by and watch him die?"

"Do you think he can listen to this explanation now? Run away quickly. If he doesn't know that it was you who revealed the secret, it would be fine. But once he knows that you ruined his immortal career, even if he turns into a fierce ghost, he will hunt you down to avenge himself." said the dog-meat Taoist.

"He is being struck by lightning." Xiaoyu said.

The dog meat Taoist said: "He used the corpse transformation method to become an immortal in order to eliminate his sins and escape heavenly calamity. Now that the corpse transformation method has failed, of course he must bear the punishment from heaven.

But the heavenly calamity would at most kill him, making his immortal career in this life come to naught.

It doesn't mean that after he fails to survive the tribulation, he can't transform into a vicious ghost and seek revenge on you.

You should also not underestimate the evil spirit transformed by the leader.

Being able to reach this stage of Bingjie, the leader's Taoism is so profound that he is almost equal to an immortal."

At this point, the old Taoist priest showed a look of relief on his face, "No wonder the prince and the prince trust him so much and let him be the leader.

Before he died, he was at least half a true immortal.

Once he succeeds in his transformation from a soldier to a corpse, he might be able to wipe out the Eight Ghost Kings of Guaizi Mountain by himself."

"Half a True Immortal." Xiao Yu nodded and said, "The leader of Minshan is indeed very strong, but he is a little overwhelmed just by maintaining the Thunder Domain, and he took drugs twice in the middle.

Moreover, the Thunder Region is only a field that is beneficial to living people but not to ghosts, and it is not a powerful Taoist magic. "

The old Taoist priest had secretly decided that "the dead are the greatest and I will never slander the leader", but her words made him unable to hold back.

"If he hadn't taken the pill midway, how could you be so worried from the bottom of your heart that he would not be able to hold on?

If he could easily maintain the thunder domain, wouldn't it be too abrupt when he was chewed by the ghost king later? "He sneered.

Xiao Yu's eyes flashed, and he said, "So the leader left a lot of mana and methods unused?"

The old Taoist stammered a few times and whispered, "Faked death is only the first step of corpse transformation. It will take several days, even months or years for the soul to transform into a corpse-transmuted immortal.

When you really start to transform your corpse, you must retain enough energy and not exhaust yourself."

"So he could hold on when clearing out the miscellaneous soldiers, which consumed less energy. But when he saw all the Eight Ghost Kings were dispatched, he was worried about the huge losses and just died quickly?" Xiao Yu asked.

"You'd better run away quickly!" The old Taoist priest did not answer this question which would hurt the leader's reputation.

"I have to preside over the ceremony to invite the gods."

The old Taoist priest is the "main altar master" and the main force in the ceremony of summoning gods.

He was hiding in the corner and whispering to Xiaoyu, which had already attracted a lot of attention.

For example, Lingjun Zhu Yitai wanted to walk over and say something several times, but he looked at Xiaoyu fearfully and turned back.

Although Xiaoyu didn't say why she was looking for the dog-meat Taoist priest, Zhu Yitao felt that she must have gotten into trouble again.

Xiaoyu let the old Taoist priest go and let him return to the altar, but he did not leave. Instead, he followed him to the bottom of the altar.

After the Minshan old farmer turned into the Minshan old ghost, his method of killing disappeared from Zifu. However, the Minshan old farmer activated the Great Destroyer on the birthday of the immortal Lao.

The assassinations and sudden attacks have been completed, and only 20% of the frontal killings are left.

From a living person to a dead ghost, his strength must have dropped greatly. If the old farmer from Minshan doesn't come to hunt her down, he will be fine, she will be at ease, and everyone will be fine.

If he becomes an evil ghost and chases after you, once they meet and their identities are confirmed, there is an 80% chance that he will reactivate Da Mie Ba.

So she just needs to leave the underworld and return to the world of the living to gain the home advantage against the ghosts. There is no need for her to run around like a headless fly.

"Ling Jun, which gods have you invited?" Xiao Yu approached Zhu Yitai and asked in a low voice.

When she first entered the camp, the dog meat Taoist priest and a group of Taoist priests were meditating and chanting on the altar.

Now back at the altar, the dog-meat Taoist priest sat back on his cushion and continued to chant Taoist scriptures.

She looked at it for a while but couldn't figure out anything.

"Didn't you ask Taoist Yunqing just now?" Zhu Yitao didn't want to pay attention to her.

"Just now I was discussing the matter of the leader of Minshan with the Taoist priest. Did you know that the leader is dead?" Xiaoyu whispered.

Zhu Yitao's face was filled with grief. He nodded and said, "The City God has immediately reminded us to prepare for the attack of the ghost soldiers on the camp."

“But the leader is not dead.”

Xiaoyu babble quickly and detailed the story of an old farmer from the mountains of Fujian who became an immortal by taking advantage of the opportunity to fight ghosts.

Zhu Yitao was surprised and shocked at first, but as he listened, he realized something was wrong and said with a dark face, "You don't have to explain it in such detail."

"You must make it clear! If the ghost of the leader of Minshan comes after us later, you will have to do justice for me." Xiaoyu said.

"What does this have to do with me?"

Even though Zhu Yitao did not understand the cultivation of immortals, he understood how huge the gap was from having one foot halfway into the immortal world and about to become a corpse-reincarnated immortal, to dying and becoming a vicious ghost.

Not only do you not understand how to cultivate immortality, you also don’t understand human nature?
The leader of Minshan must hate her to death.

He dared to stand up for her, and the leader of the alliance turned into a vicious ghost, but he still didn't dare to tear him to pieces?

"Don't get excited! I just want you to persuade the leader to calm down. As your lord, you definitely don't want things to get too ugly, right?" Xiao Yu said.

Zhu Yitai looked unhappy.

Xiao Yu asked again: "Which gods did you invite? Tell me about it, so that I won't be rude later."

Zhu Yitao said, "I don't know. The Taoist priest only asked me to offer sacrifices to the heaven on behalf of the court and then burn the petition."

"What was written in the petition? What gods were invited? Didn't you read it?"

Zhu Yitao said, "The petition only says that Xishu has encountered a ghost disaster today. I hope the Emperor of Heaven will have mercy on us and ask the Nine Stars, the Twenty-Eight Mansions, the Four Heavenly Kings, the Twelve Yuanchen, the Five Direction Generals, the Five Elders, the Universal Stars, and the Milky Way to grant us divine grace and protect the millions of people in Yingxiang Mansion."

Xiao Yu had a conflicted expression, "These are all great gods! Can we invite them? Why not be more realistic and lower the requirements? Ordinary heavenly soldiers and generals can also deal with the ghost soldiers as long as there are enough of them."

Zhu Yitao whispered, "Just now it was just the petition burned by Taoist Master Yunqing of Xianyun Temple.

Taoist priests from other Taoist temples also have their own petitions.

For example, Taoist Master Chengxin, they asked the Taoist temple to have a patriarch called "Heyang Zhenxian", and the petition only asked Heyang Zhenxian to descend his true spirit."

"Well, Xianyun Temple doesn't have any immortal ancestor, and we have no connections in heaven, so we can't find any specific immortals. We can only cast a wide net and look for great immortals and gods?" Xiaoyu said strangely.

Zhu Yitao glanced at her and said, "Do you doubt the ability of Taoist Master Yunqing? He is a genuine master and everyone respects him."

Xiao Yu thought for a moment and said, "Although I'm not a Taoist priest, I know a deity. Can I burn a petition for him?"

"Which god do you know? Is he willing to pay attention to you?" Zhu Yitao asked doubtfully.

"Taiyi Dao's spiritual official divine mace Taibao."

After swearing on the water, Xiaoyu really fulfilled his promise to Li Xianzhi: he wrote a petition to the Divine Mace Guardian, suing the Monkey King's friend Ge Qingyun, the "Treading Waves Immortal", for daring to take revenge on the Prince of Qinghe.

The petition was burned, but there was no response.

Today we will open the altar to offer sacrifices to heaven. The petition has the blessing of the will of millions of lives in the Shu court and Yingxiang Mansion. It can alarm the gods in heaven and will definitely convey the content of the petition to the Divine Mace Taibao.

As long as the Divine Mace Taibao shows up in public, she can take advantage of the power of the other for a while and build relationships at the same time.

If the guardian still ignored her, she would only have wasted the time writing the petition.

"I've never heard of the Divine Mace Guardian, but you can give it a try." Zhu Yitao pointed at the brazier on the altar, "As long as you want to invite gods or ancestors, write your own petition and burn it in the fire."

There was a desk under the altar. Xiao Yu wrote a petition on the spot, walked up to the altar, knelt in front of the incense burner and muttered a few words, threw the yellow paper into the brazier, and then quickly walked down the altar.

"Why did you come down?" Zhu Yitao frowned.

"The petition has been burned, so why don't you come down?"

"The petition has been burned, but the gods haven't come yet. You have to stay on the altar and continue chanting and praying to communicate with the gods!" Zhu Yitao said.

"Is that so?" Xiao Yu hesitated for a moment, then went back to the altar, found an empty space on the edge and sat down, reciting the "Huangting Dadong Sutra" in his mouth. He recited a few sentences of the Dadong Sutra and a sentence of "Zhang Songzhi, the master of the magic mace, must act as quickly as the law", but in his heart he was secretly studying the "Thunder-breaking Sword".

The "Thunder-Breaking Sword" is naturally a sword move aimed at the Five Thunder Method of the old farmer in the mountains of Min.

The methods of assassination and sudden attack have been completed.

She found the weakness of the Five Thunder Method and the fatal weakness of the old farmer in Minshan.

However, the "forced killing method" was only deduced to 80% before it got stuck. She could not ignore the weakness and confront the Five Thunder Method of the old farmer in Minshan head-on, so the "Thunder Breaking Sword" still had room for improvement.

"Boom~~~~"

About half an hour later, a muffled sound was heard from inside Guaizi Mountain in the distance.

The sound came from underground. It was not loud, but it was quite loud and you could see the mountain shaking.

Yellow-brown and gray-white gases are spewing out from the cracks in the mountain.

The altar under Xiaoyu also shook a few times, and the crack in the ground near Lianghe Beach expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye.

She stood up immediately, looking extremely alert.

But the Taoists around him didn't even open their eyes. They continued to sit with their eyes closed and recite Taoist scriptures.
