No abstraction, no cultivation

Chapter 33 Yan Kaiyan
The Yellow Talisman Classic records a variety of spells, magical instruments and methods of resurrecting corpses.

Xu Shun studied the "Huang Fu Jing" for half a night and got a headache.

It’s not that I can’t understand it, but the corpse manipulation technique is really too troublesome.

Things like searching for dragons and exploring caves to find the place where yin gathers, burying a dead body containing resentment, and pouring blood on it every seven days, and finally using yang energy to stimulate the yin energy of the dead body to form a yin corpse, only then will it be considered a success.

To control the Yin corpse, one must feed it with one's own blood, use magic power to replace part of the evil spirit, and gain control over the Yin corpse, like half a puppet, before one can be considered a small success.

As for the talismans drawn with cinnabar, the guidance with copper bells, and the seals with inkstones, not a single step can be wrong.

For Xu Shun, a novice cultivator who has never learned how to draw talismans, he has to learn how to draw talismans from scratch.

The key point is that after finally rising from the dead, the zombies are very weak.

He is afraid of the sun, the peach wood sword and the black donkey hooves, not to mention the extremely strong and masculine thunder method?

If you want to enhance the ability of the Yin corpse, you need to cultivate it well, let it grow hair, and turn it into a red zombie, a white zombie, etc., so that it will be somewhat powerful.

If you don’t practice corpse training, you don’t know how difficult it is.

With this much time and energy, Xu Shun would have mastered the flying sword long ago!

At that time, such zombies can be chopped into seventeen or eighteen pieces with a single turn of the flying sword.

Therefore, for Xu Shun now, corpse training is too troublesome, too tedious, too time-consuming, and too uneconomical!

They are both methods of protecting the Dao, so what’s the difference between flying swords and corpse training?

Isn’t flying sword cool?
Handsome and powerful.

No wonder Master Lan looked down upon the corpse-controlling technique. The corpse-controlling technique is indeed not as good as the flying sword.

As for the art of flying sword, Xu Shun needs to wait until he becomes a god before he can practice his flying sword.

As for now, Xu Shun only knows the "Qingfeng Sword Technique" taught by Taoist Lan.

"Qingfeng Sword Technique" contains some basic sword techniques, including stabbing, chopping, lifting, hanging, clouding, pointing, collapsing and intercepting.

"Master, don't we all ride flying swords? Why do we still need to practice basic sword techniques?" Xu Shun once asked Lan Daoist after learning the sword techniques.

Lan Dao Ren replied: "If you don't practice sword, how can you understand sword? If you don't understand sword, how can you control it?"

"But what does controlling a flying sword have to do with basic swordsmanship?" Xu Shun was puzzled.

A flying sword is completely different from an ordinary sword, right?
Lan Daoren just said: "You will know it later!"

All in all, the "Yellow Talisman Sutra" is a bit useless to Xu Shun now, no wonder Dali taught it to Xu Shun so readily.

In an advanced sect, the methods of maintaining stability and protecting the Dao must be connected and can complement each other.

The Qingwei Sect's method of refining corpses must be closely related to their own true method, otherwise who would play with corpses?

Only by joining the Qingwei Sect can one learn the authentic and profound method of corpse manipulation to protect the Tao.

It is obviously not worth it to rejoin the Qingwei Sect just for a corpse manipulation technique. I can only make plans for later.

After figuring this out, Xu Shun threw the "Huang Fu Jing" aside and began his daily practice.

By dawn, Xu Shun had completed his homework for the day.

He was almost reaching the fourth level of Qi training.

In just a few months, Xu Shun went from an ordinary man to the third level of Qi training, which was already very fast. Even Lan Daoren looked up to Xu Shun.

He didn't expect that the disciple he accepted by chance had such outrageous talent, even more outrageous than those so-called genius senior brothers he had met in the mountains in the past.

At first, he just liked Xu Shunsui.

Xu Shun had just finished his homework when he heard Master Lan’s voice.

"Disciple, follow me, Master!"

He stood up and walked to the Taoist Lan next to him, and saw that Taoist Lan was wearing a sky blue Taoist robe.

The Taoist robe swayed as Lan Daoist walked, the feathered robe fluttered, the silk ribbon tied around Lan Daoist's waist, the lotus silk dust in his hand, and the indifferent expression on Lan Daoist's chubby face made him look like an immortal master, very attractive.

She looked like two completely different people compared to her usual bare-breasted look, which left Xu Shun stunned.

My first thought was, damn, if you dress up Blue Fatty, you can look pretty good!

No wonder many female cultivators are attracted to you.

The second thought is that clothes make the man, and the ancients were right.

"Greetings, Master!" Zi Su also came over from the next room and saluted respectfully to Master Lan.

Taoist Lan glanced at Xu Shun and Zi Su, who were wearing purple Taoist robes, and said, "Today is the big day for your Master Baili. Don't cry, or you will lose face for your master!"

"Yes, Master!" Xu Shun and Zi Su said in unison.

It wasn't their master who died, so how could they cry?

"Let's go!" Taoist Lan said, and walked in front, followed by Xu Shun and Zi Su.

Today is the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, and Bailidongfu is different from the previous few days.

There are cushions woven from magical bamboo placed under the pine trees on both sides of the cave stream.

There is a square table next to the futon, on which are fragrant tea, fruits, cakes and the like.

Taoist Lan took the lead and sat down on the cushion at the top of the stream in the cave, while Xu Shun and Zi Su sat behind Taoist Lan.

As time went by, with the guidance of Xibianming and Xibianmiao, more and more guests came into the cave and each found their own cushion to sit on.

Some of them came a few days ago, and some just arrived. After seeing Lan Dao Ren, they all came to Lan Dao Ren to get to know him.

Taoist Lan was rarely impatient. Instead, he spoke to them in a gentle manner, which warmed up the atmosphere in the cave.

After all, it is rare to see a cultivator in the Ascension period.

As Lan Daoren's apprentice, Xu Shunshun was praised by others as "intelligent and talented, with the potential to be like Lan Daoren" and "one day he will be able to ascend to the immortal world and become master and apprentice with Lan Daoren again."

As for Shiso, he was praised as "physically disabled but mentally strong, his future achievements will be immeasurable" and "born with extraordinary vision, extraordinary and unique".

Xu Shun just treated these polite words as nonsense.

He didn't say anything, but just smiled at those drunken monks and that dissolute monk.

Suddenly, the sounds of stringed instruments were heard in the cave.

Xu Shun looked in the direction of the sound and saw several Taoists playing together with zithers, pipa, gongs, drums and other instruments.

Each of those Taoist priests was controlling several musical instruments at the same time, and some of the instruments even made their own sounds, which really surprised Xu Shun.

One person is a band, and several people are a symphony orchestra.

It turns out that this is how monks play music.

The sounds they played were clearly layered, the tunes were lively, and it sounded very festive.

Suddenly the style of their music changed and became heavy.

Because, Yan Kaiyan has begun.

Accompanied by heavy music, four "inexplicably" people slowly walked out from the depths of the cave, carrying a white jade coffin on their shoulders.

Xibian Mo carried the left front part of the coffin with a serious expression, and together with three other fellow apprentices, placed the coffin at the front of the pine forest.

Bailisong liked pine trees, so he held the Yankai Banquet under the pine tree.

The person in the coffin was Bailisong who had been joking a few days ago.

　I'm worried about trivial matters at home and haven't been in a good mood recently.
