Becoming a Taoist Master by Walking on the Underworld

Chapter 121 Prohibition, False God, Belief in Ghost Xiaohong
"But before that..."

As he was thinking, he noticed that there was movement outside the door again, and his face immediately showed an extremely alert look.

Fortunately, he quickly saw the identity of the visitor through the gate that had not yet been closed.

The man with a sword on his back, Qi Jichuan!
“What just happened?
How dare you?

To mess with that guy in town?"

Qi Jichuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Chen Yushu was fine, and then he quickly spoke.

And behind him, another figure soon appeared.

The corpse keeper Zhao Yufeng.

To Chen Yushu's surprise, the other party actually brought all his corpses over.

Judging from the aura of the corpse, his previous injuries have almost recovered, and his aura is even better than before.

It seems that the corpse pill was indeed of great help to it.

"Do you two seniors know its true identity?"

Chen Yushu knew that the two of them were somewhat worried about him, and he felt warm in his heart and asked quickly.

"This guy is much stronger than the evil zombie last time.

The first night I went into town last time, I couldn’t resist checking it out and I almost didn’t make it back.

I later learned from my senior brother that this guy must be someone who has reached the extreme level of evil and was just stuck under the ban.

Very fierce! "

Qi Jichuan walked in, shaking his head. Suddenly he noticed Xiaohong not far from the door. He paused for a second and asked in surprise, "Why is she still here?"

It’s no wonder that he felt a little uncomfortable when he was making fun of someone else in front of his granddaughter.

The key is that he knows that guy is really vicious.

If I get unhappy because of this and come to chat with him at night, that would be terrible.

He didn't want to confront it.

"You guys go play first."

Chen Yushu touched Xiaoyin and greeted her.

"Okay, brother Yushu!"

Xiaoyin nodded repeatedly and quickly pulled Xiaohong, who was still a little sad, away.

"Senior, what is the ban?"

Then, Chen Yushu hurriedly asked.

“Nature is black and white.

Yin and Yang, separated!
Among demons and monsters, terrifying existences can be divided into evil, spooky creatures, disasters, and calamities... Of course, there are also strong ones among humans.

Therefore, in ancient times, human strongmen signed a ban with the top existences among demons.

One of the prohibitions stipulates that no creatures above the level of Suozhi, including Suozhi, are allowed to enter human towns.

Once discovered, the Yin-measuring magic plate in the court will produce a response and transmit it to the Yin-suppressing Department.

Then the top experts in the Yin-Zhen Division will come forward to capture and eliminate these evil spirits.

However, it must be said that the human world is indeed of great benefit to many evil spirits.

Including the evil-level beings, they are all very envious of the incense resources in the town.

Therefore, some evil spirits would not hesitate to cut themselves with a knife and control themselves to the level of evil spirits, so that they could stay in the town.

There are even some evil spirits that directly develop their power among humans to help maintain human order.

For example, if they find evil spirits causing trouble, they will volunteer to help drive them away and eradicate them...

If you do well, you can be canonized by the emperor.

In this way, they can appear openly in human towns.

Because this means that their identity has been recognized.

For example, some land gods and general temples are essentially evil spirits that have been canonized by the emperor, thus possessing the status of pseudo-gods and enjoying incense and offerings.

Fortunately, there are not many false gods canonized today.

It is said that the previous emperor canonized more than a thousand false gods, so that false gods were everywhere, and temples were set up for false gods everywhere, accepting incense and offerings.

There are also some relatively remote places where there are miscellaneous gods who set up private temples and accept incense.

As a result, the courts and officials in various places were not clear about how many false gods and how many miscellaneous gods there were in their own territories.

Not to mention other evil spirits and demons."

Qi Jichuan said this and shook his head.

Having too much of this kind of thing is certainly not a good thing.

However, the "gods" enthroned by the previous dynasty were recognized, and it is naturally impossible to abolish them easily in this dynasty.

Otherwise, the imperial court will collapse, and countless evil and false gods will rise up, which will be an even greater disaster.

After hearing this, Chen Yushu finally understood.

I also have some feelings about some of the chaos.

For example, in his Beijiao Village, Uncle Zhong worships the land. However, Uncle Zhong can borrow the power of the "god" by worshiping the land, which is the normal result of the practice of a ghost person.

But it is said that the Song family next door to his house worships the "two-faced god".

Not only during festivals, but even on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month, we need to burn incense and pray.

According to the Song family, it is very effective.

But now Chen Yushu is well versed in many things in the industry.

Naturally, we know that the so-called two-faced god is most likely not a false god. After all, a false god at least has a name. This two-faced god is at best a mixed god who calls himself a "god".

That means nothing went wrong, otherwise they would have been cleared out sooner or later.

Fortunately, his family did not believe in these things. They just followed the others in worshipping their ancestors in the ancestral hall during festivals, or in some righteous gods worshipped by Datong.

As for whether it is effective or not?

Of course it doesn’t work.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have encountered the ghost.

One is that he now knows that the ancestral hall is no longer "spiritual", and the second is that the "real gods" are all very busy and have no time to pay attention to him.

"I see.

So, the Zuo family ancestor is actually an evil being?"

Chen Yushu nodded and then spoke.

“Probably yes.

In other words, he has always kept a low profile, has not used that level of power, and has not exerted influence to attract people around to buy incense and offer sacrifices.

Otherwise, I would have been driven out by those false gods in the town long ago."

Zhao Yufeng nodded and said.

"So, there is actually a ghost in this town?

But are they all those false gods?
For example, the one enshrined in the General Temple?"

Chen Yushu asked in surprise.

"If there is evil, then there must be.

However, the one in the General Temple should not have reached the level of an evil spirit.

Fifty years ago, its temple was destroyed and it itself was also severely damaged, resulting in a great loss of incense. It is not easy for it to grow into a ghost.

Nowadays, the most popular person in Jianghuan Town is Grandma Jiang.

It is the evil spirit here, but it is a god canonized by the imperial court. To some extent, it also carries the safety of the whole place, so it can stay in the town and is not affected by the ban. "

Zhao Yufeng began to explain.

He has been here for more than half a year, so naturally he has already explored the situation here clearly.

He even knew that Grandma Jiang was also responsible for the destruction of the General Temple.

"I see!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yushu finally showed a look of understanding.

Only now did I finally understand why the Zuo family's ancestor had acted so anxious and looked like he was entrusting his son to someone else's care.

Because, in the battle just now, it exposed its evil-level power.

Because she was afraid of being targeted by the underworld and also afraid of Grandma Jiang showing up, she hurried here and entrusted Xiaohong to him.

"By the way, what did that guy come here for?"

Then, Qi Jichuan started asking questions.

"Nothing, he just asked me to take care of his granddaughter for a while."

Chen Yushu was silent for a while and replied.

"what?"

Qi Jichuan was stunned.

I thought Chen Yushu didn't want to elaborate.

Zhao Yufeng, who was standing next to him, spoke at this time; "Since you have nothing to do, that's the best. You should have a good rest and don't delay your schedule tomorrow morning."

"Don't worry, Senior Zhao.

I'm ready for everything I need to prepare!"

Chen Yushu cupped his hands and said.

Hearing this, they nodded and walked towards their residence together.

Watch the two people leave.

Chen Yushu also felt a little grateful in his heart.

Not only because the two of them really cared about him, but also because of their words, he finally had a relatively detailed understanding of the "God" of this world.

The gods conferred by the imperial court were false gods.

There are false gods in every town, and not just one.

Just like in Jianghuan Town, there is Granny Jiang, General Fengyun in the General Temple, the surrounding land god Xu Huang, as well as the kitchen god and the house god...

Although it exists in the town, it is inaccessible to ordinary people.

People like him who walk through the underworld actually rarely come into contact with each other.

After all, he had few opportunities to interact with his peers, let alone these 'gods'.

In addition to false gods, there are also those miscellaneous gods who proclaim themselves gods...but most of them live in remote villages.

Such as the "two-faced god" in Beijiao Village, and the "one-eyed god" and "the lady in white" mentioned in Li Chao's ghost records.

These beings are either strong or weak.

The strong ones can reach the level of evil spirits, while the weak ones can only be compared to evil ghosts.

It is also worth mentioning that the "immortal" invited by Shi Hao, according to orthodox standards, is actually a kind of miscellaneous god.

It's just that the Chu Ma Xian are a large family. There are many clan ancestors who have been given titles. There have been several powerful "Big Chu Ma". In addition, they hold grudges and are united, so they are relatively special existences in various places.

Between orthodox and unorthodox.

“So, that’s actually why.

For some people, opening an altar is relatively simple.

For some people, it’s extremely difficult.”

Therefore, Chen Yushu thought of the incident of the ghost man opening a temple.

The so-called "spirit" was probably not the evil spirit as he had understood it before.

But 'god'.

Use "gods" as a deterrent to suppress ghosts and gods.

Only in this way can the purpose of opening the altar and judging all evil be achieved.

Others who perform ghost walks will "pay homage" and offer sacrifices to the gods.

Therefore, it is relatively simple for them to open an altar. As long as the offerings are in place and the "gods" are in a good mood, they will cheer them on.

And he had never taken the path of "worshiping God" from the beginning, so he had to rely on himself for everything.

“Besides, Sister Qiao’er should be the same as me.

She didn’t start out by worshipping God, so opening an altar for her was relatively difficult, just like it was for me.

You can only catch the 'spirit' yourself to suppress it.

If you can’t catch them, just beat them.”

Chen Yushu muttered to himself, and vaguely saw through something.

Of course, because he didn't know much, he couldn't make an accurate judgment. Then, he set his eyes on the black cloth in the yard.

Inside there were the things that the Zuo family’s ancestor had sent over before.

He didn't know what was in it, but after all, it was the "custody fee" sent by the other party to Xiaohong. He felt at ease to receive it, and naturally had some expectations in his heart.

Then he picked up the black bag.

After pinching it, he couldn't help but wonder to himself, "This cloth bag seems to be a treasure? It feels so delicate in the hand, but it can isolate mental power.

Even with my mental strength, I can't even see through this black bag and see what's inside?"

Chen Yushu pulled it tentatively. Although he didn't use his greatest strength, he could easily tear ordinary cloth into pieces.

You know, his power now is not small.

The flesh and external forging have almost been completed, and the internal training has already begun. He can easily gather objects weighing hundreds or thousands of pounds.

This time, even if he only used 30% of his strength, it was enough to tear the best cloth in half, but it couldn't even cause a wrinkle on the black cloth.

Then he followed the knot and opened the cloth bag.

Immediately I saw at the top, there was a jade pendant.

White jade pendant.

Moreover, he was very familiar with this jade pendant.

It turned out to be the health-preserving jade that could prolong life that Taoist Guangyi carried with him at the previous gathering.

According to Taoist Guangyi, this health-preserving jade also records an ancient cultivation method, the Changchun Gong.

Thinking of this, he quickly probed his mental power into the ancient jade.

hum!
In an instant, he felt rows of ancient characters appearing before his eyes.

The text on it was actually the method of practicing the so-called Changchun Gong.

“It is actually health-preserving jade. Wearing it for a long time can prolong your life.

And it does contain a lot of information, recording an ancient cultivation method called Changchun Gong."

Chen Yushu was shocked.

But thinking about the fact that Taoist Guangyi went to the Zuo family compound today to provoke the ancestor of the Zuo family.

It is also very normal for the other party to kill Taoist Guangyi and obtain his spoils.

But now that this thing appeared in his hands, it was a bit tricky.

After all, many people knew that the other party had such a piece of health-preserving jade.

But after thinking about it, Chen Yushu calmed down again.

He just needs to have a clear conscience.

He is not one to shy away from medical advice and would not waste time on good things.

Then, he took a look at the attribute panel.

Unexpectedly, on the attribute panel, there was an additional word called Changchun Gong.

However, behind it, the words "not yet entered" are displayed, but this actually means that this technique is complete and can be practiced.

"However, the practice of Changchun Gong is mainly based on 'spiritual energy'.

However, due to the great changes in heaven and earth, the spiritual energy has already become extremely thin and is far less than in ancient times.

If you want to truly practice the Changchun Kung Fu, you can only use the "Spirit Stone".

But given the preciousness of spirit stones, if one wants to push the cultivation of this Changchun Kungfu to the 'Qi Refining Stage' mentioned in it, the price would be too high."

Chen Yushu looked at it and shook his head.

He had witnessed with his own eyes how Shi Hao used a spirit stone to exchange for a method of body refining.

You can imagine its value. In terms of silver, it is more than a thousand taels.

And in order to push it to the 'Qi Refining Stage', at least ten spirit stones are needed, which is more than ten thousand taels of silver.

He doesn't have that luxury.

Then he looked at something else.

An ancient sword, a spirit tablet, a bronze mirror, a compass and five copper coins.

"these things……"

When Chen Yushu saw this, he was also stunned.

They are all magical instruments.

Among them, the ancient sword was actually a mid-grade magical weapon.

Especially when Chen Yushu connected his spirit with it and sensed that it contained more than a hundred ancient prohibitions, he became more certain of this.

There are two ways to create magical instruments: acquired cultivation and innate creation.

Those acquired after birth are some peculiar things that, after being baptized by a special environment, naturally absorb various special energies and thus become magical instruments.

In essence, many old instruments are actually the prototypes of magical instruments.

It’s just that it’s relatively difficult to upgrade an old weapon to a magic weapon. It requires years of accumulation before it can be upgraded to a lower-grade magic weapon.

But this ancient sword is different. It is a magical weapon made and refined by nature.

Its main feature is reflected in the number of forbidden runes inside the magic weapon.

If the number is between ten and one hundred forbidden runes, it is low-grade; if the number is between one hundred and one thousand, it is medium-grade; and if the number is between one thousand and ten thousand, it is high-grade.

It is said that the sword in Qingsong Temple is a top-grade magic weapon.

Extremely sharp.

Although this ancient sword does not reach the top grade level, the 132 forbidden runes on it also represent the fact that it is a genuine mid-grade magical weapon.

Its power is naturally above that of lower-grade magical weapons.

In other words, this ancient sword is more convenient and more powerful than the Soul-Breaking Ruler that he has been using.

After all, the number of forbidden runes on the Soul-Breaking Ruler is only about eighty.

Although it is not bad, it is still of a lower level.

"It's just that this spirit tablet... the tablet of Bai Qiuju of the Bai family..."

As soon as Chen Yushu finished speaking, a female ghost with a pale face and dressed in white clothes suddenly appeared in front of him silently with disheveled hair.

The eerie scene and the abrupt appearance almost made him unable to hold back and just threw out a talisman.

Fortunately, he woke up in time and realized that this was the function of the spirit tablet, which was the residence of the female ghost in front of him.

Mastering the spirit tablet is equivalent to controlling the female ghost. You can drive it to do anything for you.

He also discovered that this female ghost had no thoughts, could not speak or communicate, and was a pure ghost that only acted on instinct.

“This is a true earthbound spirit, controlled by this tablet and unable to escape.

Therefore, over the years, this spirit tablet turned into a magical instrument.

Its only function is to drive this female ghost..."

Chen Yushu blinked and quickly understood.

Just as he said before, magical weapons are divided into innate creation and acquired cultivation.

That ancient sword, the Qingyin Sword, was made by Xiantian.

However, this spirit tablet is acquired through acquired cultivation.

The power depends entirely on the strength of the female ghost.

As for the bronze mirror, it was the Yin-Yang mirror that Master Guangyi took out at the beginning. I remember that it was bought by a hunchbacked old man.

Now that he appears here, it is obvious that the hunchbacked old man also took action in today's battle.

So this Yin-Yang Mirror also appeared in front of Chen Yushu and now became his.

As for the compass.

It is also a magical instrument.

It is a magical tool for finding and catching ghosts, and can track the location and direction of ghosts.

“As for these last five copper coins.

It should be the Five Emperors' Coins.

It can be used for fortune-telling and as a weapon to attack evil spirits.

It is also a low-grade magical instrument."

Chen Yushu checked these magical instruments one by one.

In my heart, I am generally satisfied.

At least for him, whose magic weapons are scarce, they can all play a role and are an excellent supplement to his strength.

Then he put them one by one into the black cloth bag.

It was at this time that Chen Yushu discovered another function of the black cloth bag.

That is, it has extremely strong extensibility, as if it contains space inside.

Even if the ancient sword Qingyin Sword was put in, it would not cause the cloth bag to be pierced and a large part of it would not be exposed.

Although the Qingyin Sword itself is not very long, one can still see the unusualness of this black cloth bag from it.

Just finished cleaning up.

Chen Yushu saw Xiaoyin and Xiaohong running back hand in hand, skipping and jumping.

Perhaps it was because the little girl had a short memory and was easier to coax, and her emotions came and went quickly. At this moment, Xiaohong was obviously in a much brighter mood.

Only when he saw Chen Yushu did he reveal a hint of timidity, and stood aside, looking at him cautiously.

Chen Yushu went straight to the dark side and said, “You also heard what your grandfather said just now.

It lets me take care of you.

But humans and ghosts have different paths.

It's impossible for me to arrange for you to stay by my side all the time.

So next, I will plant a trace of spirit in you, just like Xiaoyin is Sister Qiaoer’s trusted ghost, and let you be my trusted ghost.

Of course, you can also refuse.

I don’t force it.”

Chen Yushu said it directly.

He has already received the 'orphan care fee', so he will naturally take responsibility.

of course.

It's not impossible to let it live on the sidelines forever.

But as he said, humans and ghosts have different paths. If they stay together for a long time, they will naturally be affected and his energy and blood will be constantly depleted.

And his increasingly vigorous energy and blood would unconsciously heat her up and consume her strength.

After all, the other party is a fierce ghost, and the harm is also very strong. Once her ghost age is over three years, her mind will mature, and the strong evil spirit will unconsciously affect her, prompting her to start harming people...

He naturally didn't want this to happen.

"Big brother, what should I do?"

Xiao Hong said ignorantly.

Naturally, it also meant that he agreed to Chen Yushu's proposal and regarded him as his trusted ghost.

"You just need to not resist when I cast the spell."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yushu simply spoke.

The other party nodded obediently, then stood there, waiting for the spell to be cast.

Seeing this, Chen Yushu nodded.

Although Xiaohong's personality is still unclear, she is at least equally well-behaved. And perhaps because of her noble birth, compared to Xiaoyin, she has a more tranquil demeanor of a lady from a noble family.

Thinking this in his mind, Chen Yushu did not hesitate.

In his mind, he recalled the spell rune structure of the art of believing in ghosts written by Sister Qiao'er. He raised his hand and made hand gestures. His mental power surged rapidly, and he quickly outlined the spell rune structures.

Soon, the structure of the spell rune took shape, forming a special seal shape.

"go with!"

Then he reached out a little.

The seal turned into a stream of light and quickly rushed to Xiaohong's head. Without any obstruction, it rushed directly in and completely merged with it.

In an instant, Chen Yushu felt that there was an inexplicable connection between him and Xiaohong.

It seems like it's a lot more intimate.

……

Asking for next month's votes. If you don't ask at the beginning of the month, you will probably have no more at the end of the month.
