I have to get lucky right away.

Chapter 64 My spirit and body are no longer functioning properly?

In order to avoid being seen coming out of the dilapidated house, the demon cultivator hurriedly left the dilapidated house that Feng Xue once rented before dawn. Although his evil body was not afraid of the cold, he still pretended to shiver, wrapped his thin clothes that had seen some wear, and moved slowly along the warm wall on the street.

It is not easy to be a demon cultivator no matter what era it is, but there are always some cultivators who embark on the path of demon cultivation for various reasons, either legitimate or shady.

In such an environment, every demon cultivator who could survive the siege of the righteous developed a cautious, careful, and flexible character. Even if he was once a grandmaster, this demon cultivator still maintained a cautious style of behavior and disguised himself as a down-and-out beggar.

He was wearing thin and worn clothes, and he walked slowly past houses that looked very valuable, begging everyone he saw.

This is not only a form of camouflage, but also a way to select prey.

Demonic cultivators use the vital energy of others as nourishment for their cultivation, so they are naturally bound to be plagued by bad karma. However, this does not mean that there is no way to resolve it, because the so-called cause and effect, and bad karma, are essentially just a monitoring mechanism given to [humanity's inspiration] by the simple moral values ​​of human beings under the manifestation of willpower. Therefore, the years when the world is in chaos and morality collapse are often the times when demonic cultivators are most unscrupulous.

In peacetime, the way to reduce one's own blood evil and bad karma is naturally to target those evil people who are condemned by the public.

Even if a person is plagued by evil karma, you will still have karma if you kill him, but at the same time, you will also have corresponding good deeds to eliminate the disaster. In fact, many of the chivalrous thieves who often hear about in the world of martial arts who fight against violence and protect the good, and rob the rich to help the poor, are actually transformed from demonic cultivators.

This is to gain good merits and eliminate evil karma through the humane behavior of "doing justice for the heavens", and secondly, it can effectively reduce the pursuit of the righteous.

After all, if a good person dies, both the government and the righteous monks will want to investigate thoroughly, and the people will also hope that the criminal will be caught. But if the person who died is a notorious bully, even if the government will still investigate, the people below may not be willing to risk their lives. Xuan cultivators are even more careful about their reputation. Even the people may secretly make trouble to protect the hero who eliminates harm for the people. They may even add some strokes to the wanted poster, making it unrecognizable.

The support of the people will also have an impact on humanity and reduce the backlash caused by the evil act of "cultivating with human lives".

This little trick also leads to a new problem -

That is, it is difficult for the demon cultivators to unite. After all, in the eyes of every demon cultivator, these colleagues are not only competitors who will compete with them for cultivation resources, but also high-quality experience packages that can provide a large amount of good deeds and vitality.

Even many demon cultivators suspected that this method of killing evildoers to practice martial arts might have been spread by some righteous cultivator specifically to cause infighting among the demon cultivators!

……

"Although the house and clothes have changed, this world is still a ghost!"

Faced with the servants' cold stares, the demon cultivator grumbled secretly in his heart, but at the same time he kept using the Qi-gazing technique to investigate. It wasn't because he couldn't wait to kill people to practice his skills, but it was just a habit he had developed over the years.

After walking and stopping along the way, the sky finally brightened up and his goal was within sight.

"I can actually still faintly sense aura. That ghost spirit must have been eating from last night until dawn? Slurp... What kind of tyrannical master is this? Is he so extravagant?"

Feeling the lingering breath of vitality absorbed by ghosts in the air, the demon cultivator, whose soul had transformed into a "ghost", couldn't help but feel a little dizzy, but reason finally controlled his instincts. He still walked slowly past the mansions, but at the same time he did not forget to carefully observe the mansion where the "fragrance" wafted from.

"Oh, standing still so early in the morning? Are you the guard of this house? But the material of the clothes is unusual... And these magic weapons... There are actually more than a dozen of them?!"

Noticing the young man standing in the yard, the demon cultivator muttered secretly in his heart, but after a closer look, he found something wrong. Although this kid was strong and healthy, he did not have a sense of surging blood and energy. This kind of warrior who was not even second-rate, even if he was a guard, was just a small fry, and was definitely not qualified to hold so many magic weapons.

In comparison, his thoughts were pure and his spiritual light was full, and he had obviously condensed the virtual image of his soul. Although he was still some distance away from entering the Dao, it was not an exaggeration to say that he was the seed of a master because he could have such a spiritual representation at such a young age.

"And there seems to be a sense of rising vitality in his body... Could this guy be the one feeding the ghosts? He is actually practicing both Xuanwu and other cultivations? Where does he get the energy?" The more the demon cultivator thought about it, the more confused he became. He even had the idea that "could there be new achievements in the Xuan cultivation world during my hundred years of seclusion?" However, when he recalled the Xuan cultivators he had met on the road before, it was obviously not the case.

"Either it's some unique secret method, or he's raising some loyal warriors..." As soon as this thought arose, the demon cultivator denied it himself. If raising loyal warriors to provide vitality could reduce bad karma, the demon cultivator would not be in his current situation.

It would be fine to let the dead soldiers consume their magic power to refine magic weapons, but if they want to use this to practice, they will inevitably be contaminated with evil karma. However, there is a sense of transparency all over the body of this young man. Not to mention using other people's vitality to practice, even if he takes some elixirs, he will not be in this state. Although a little bloody aura can be seen, it has almost been worn away by good deeds. It is obvious at a glance that he has killed some evil people.

What's even more amazing is that ghost spirit, whose purity is unprecedented in life. It looks like it only eats the pure vitality provided by its master. It has never touched the rest, let alone incense, or even other people's vitality. It is obvious that it is spoiled.

"No, this ghost is eating so well, right? It's impossible for a person to produce enough vitality to cultivate not only Xuanwu, but also have enough to support ghosts, right? Did you get your lifespan for nothing?"

The more the demon cultivator thought about it, the more incredible it seemed to him, and he even felt that his own view of cultivation had been challenged.

He suppressed his curiosity, controlled his pace, and visited the last house before finally arriving in front of the target house. He called out to the young man standing with his eyes closed in the yard, suppressing countless emotions.

"Master, please be kind and give me some food!"

As the words fell, the demon cultivator suddenly felt a spiritual sensation. Although the young man did not open his eyes, his intuition accumulated from countless near-death experiences made him keenly feel as if a pair of eyes were sweeping across him. He could not help but feel startled.

"Heavenly Eye Technique? Didn't the Shenxiao Sect lose its inheritance? Could it be the Lingbao Sect's Heavenly Eye? But the Heavenly Eye Technique would leave a clear mark between the eyebrows, so this is obviously not it! But my method of separating the spirit and the flesh, even if it is just a legend..."

The demon cultivator was thinking in his heart, but he became more and more unconfident, because he found that the young man's originally smooth breathing rhythm suddenly stopped for a moment, and even the coordinated flow of qi and blood seemed a little stagnant.

There is no doubt that he was very surprised at this time!

"Did he see something? Impossible!"

　Regarding theories about the Five Elements, Yin and Yang, Ying and Wei, and other worlds...

　　First of all, the protagonist can lock his life, and then ignore this point. You have to understand the difference between theoretical guidance and actual functions.

　　The Five Elements and Yin and Yang are theoretical guides and a way of classification based on summary and induction. The Five Elements are not the material water, fire, metal, wood and earth, but refer to ascending (fire), changing (metal), descending (water), bearing (earth) and growing (wood). Of course, this is only a small part, and there are many details.

　　Why was this theory so popular back then? Because it's essentially a summary of a pattern. You can think of it like mathematical symbols like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, or x, y, and z. Whether a formula is valid depends on the meaning you assign to the symbols, not the symbols themselves.

　　Taking traditional Chinese medicine as an example, if a certain herb is found to be able to clear away heat and detoxify, reduce fever and relieve summer heat, it is considered to be of the water element, and then it is matched with wood-type herbs that promote body recovery. In essence, it is not a rigid saying that because water produces wood, it should be matched with wood-type herbs, but because people will be weak after having a fever, and need to replenish physical strength while reducing the fever, so wood-type herbs that can restore vitality are chosen.

　　In short, don't regard the Five Elements as a kind of metaphysics (although some people insist on understanding it with metaphysics, this is a wrong way). Its essence is a kind of taxonomy.

　　Just like traffic regulations prohibit non-motorized vehicles from entering highways, the definitions of non-motorized vehicles and highways are like the five elements. The reason they cannot enter highways is not because they are incompatible in some metaphysical sense, but because the very nature of non-motorized vehicles makes them dangerous.

　　Therefore, if you are just referring to the theory, there is no need to worry.
