I built the Jade Capital with the Netherworld

Chapter 10: Wall Climber

The underworld, the side hall of Fengdu.

Lu Wujiu sat at the desk, lit a candle, and looked through the books that the Taoist boy Liu Qingtan had just burned.

There are many books and they are very diverse.

Fortunately, he doesn't have much else to do now, but he has plenty of time and the patience to read it slowly.

However, even so, he still made a simple screening based on the catalog. After reading late into the night, he finally had an intuitive understanding of the human skin book.

Raise bookworms and become a book immortal.

To be honest, if he hadn't experienced it himself, he would have thought it was a story made up by a storyteller.

Even if you experience it yourself, it still seems incredible.

You know, the old Taoist priest collected a large number of cases, but these cases, without exception, ended in failure.

But he succeeded in developing the pulse.

Considering the crazy words the old Taoist said when he escaped from the Emperor's Palace, he had reason to suspect that the problem was with the human skin book.

In other words, the key to this ritual of becoming an immortal is by no means as simple as it appears.

At least we have to raise a real god.

Even the gods in the books.

Why was the old Taoist priest so obsessed with becoming an immortal through reading the book?

The Sishu Keyilu gives the answer:
——The book is immortal, and the spirit is immortal.

"Because it can nourish itself by devouring the wronged souls and evil spirits of hell?"

Lu Wujiu muttered to himself.

In any case, the clear origin of the human skin book made him feel relieved and he turned to read other books.

After some research, he had to admit that the old Taoist priest had made sufficient preparations.

A book called "The Sutra of Moving the Soul into the Shell" clearly records three methods of rebuilding the physical body, which are divided into three levels: low, medium and high.

The inferior method is to take away the soul from the body.

The soul is born in the flesh, and since it needs a physical body, it is naturally most convenient to take over the body of another person.

It should be noted that this method requires the birth date and time to be compatible, and the soul must not have left the body for more than three hours.

The disadvantage is that even if the eight characters are compatible, this method is still like cutting the feet to fit the shoes, and it is difficult for the soul and the body to be fully coupled.

The middle-grade method is to add some Yang to generate the five elements.

When people cultivate their physical bodies, all they seek is that little bit of Yang energy, or even the flesh and blood that carries the Yuan Qi.

Therefore, if one can get others to willingly sacrifice their five internal organs, one can also use the five internal organs to ignite a little Yang energy and rebuild the body.

The disadvantage of this method is that it is difficult to find people who are willing to sacrifice themselves, and after igniting the yang energy, the process of rebuilding the body is also full of troubles.

As for the best method, it is to reincarnate as a human being again.

While the new soul in the fetus has not yet been born, the cuckoo takes over the magpie's nest. Not only can the fetus obtain some pure yang energy, but it can also avoid the trouble of the incompatibility between the physical body and the soul.

As for the disadvantages, it is the presence of foreign spirits, which can easily lead to stillbirth. If you are lucky, you can be reborn three or five times; if you are unlucky, then there is no way.

Therefore, we also have to consider whether the soul can withstand the damage of repeated reincarnations.

After Lu Wujiu read through the three methods of rebuilding the body one by one, the surprise in his heart immediately faded a little.

From a selfish point of view, the best method is the best, but it can easily cause stillbirth, which makes him feel a little reluctant.

After weighing the pros and cons, I still had no idea in my mind, so I decided to give up for now and take it one step at a time.

Looking at it from another angle, he doesn't necessarily need a physical body.

This body in front of me doesn't need sleep and is tireless. Except for being afraid of the sun, everything else is fine.

With his mind calmed down, he stopped worrying and stood up to go to the entrance of hell.

At this time, the evil spirit possessing the young man was being detained in front of a lonely city gate. As for the Black and White Impermanence who were escorting him, they had already received orders and dispersed on their own.

Lu Wujiu suddenly appeared, looked at the evil ghost that was still struggling fiercely even though it was trapped, and gently waved his hand, throwing the evil ghost into the city gate. This city gate led to hell.

As the evil spirit sank into it, the chaotic storm immediately crushed the evil spirit into powder.

The powder was sprinkled in the underworld, and the yin energy returned to the underworld. A mysterious energy gathered from all directions and sank into Lu Wujiu's body. Although it was extremely weak, it was still clearly discernible.

"My previous feeling was correct. Hell devours wronged souls and evil spirits, and it will indeed repay its master."

Lu Wujiu closed his eyes slightly, feeling the slight growth of his soul, feeling neither sad nor happy.

This result was completely within his expectations.

This is good, he doesn't have to worry about his physical body anymore.

As long as this continues, he doesn't believe that when he becomes strong enough, he will still be afraid of the sun?
By the way, humans have souls, and I think animals have them too. I wonder if the souls of animals can increase their strength?
Thinking of this, Lu Wujiu could no longer sit still. Seeing that it was getting dark outside, he decided to go out for a walk and try his luck.

Halfway through the journey, Lu Wujiu turned back with a depressed look on his face.

But it was already dawn.

At this time, Liu Qingtan, who had slept enough during the day, had hardly slept all night. When it was dawn, he started yawning again.

He was afraid that he would have to sleep until the afternoon again, so he only dared to take a short nap to get rid of his sleepiness, keeping his eyes open, hoping that the sun would set.

The days passed slowly and steadily.

Lu Wujiu was lucky and killed a rat after spending half a day.

He guessed correctly. Animals also have souls, but they are extremely fragile and disappear as soon as they see the light.

It was so difficult to catch one, but it was so thin that it was dispensable. I'm afraid it would have to live in a slaughterhouse before you could squeeze out a few drops of oil.

The idea of ​​using animal souls to nourish the underworld can only be put on hold for the time being!
On the third day after Liu Qingtan went down the mountain to exorcise evil spirits, bursts of blowing and beating sounds came from the mountain path, startling Liu Qingtan so much that he hurried out to greet them.

But the old man, the victim, actually asked someone to carry a skinned mutton up the mountain. As soon as they met, he asked his son to kowtow and express his gratitude.

The embarrassed young man looked awkward.

Finally, the old man pointed at the mutton and said, "The fairy boy saved us from suffering. I have no way to repay you, so I bought a head of mutton as an offering. You must accept it!"

Liu Qingtan waved his hands repeatedly: "Old man, you are too polite. Helping others in need is our duty. No need to be polite!"

The witch who came with the team interrupted and said, "Alas, it's not the four major meats, just a little food, a little token of my appreciation. Fairy boy, please don't refuse."

Liu Qingtan had no choice but to agree.

After this group of people carried the mutton into the temple, they unexpectedly refused to leave. After the witch complimented them, they actually asked Lao Luguan directly if he could change the Book of Life and Death?

Liu Qingtan was dumbfounded when he heard this.

He quickly let them take the mutton away. After some arguing, he could only promise to hold a ritual and pray to the underworld, asking them to take good care of Changxing Village.

After hearing this, the villagers left satisfied.

This scene made Lu Wujiu look confused.

——The abacus beads hit his face.

A skinned fat sheep was delivered, which made the idle Liu Qingtan busy again.

The whole day was spent cutting up the mutton, smearing it with salt and smoking it to prevent it from going bad because of leftovers.

After finishing the work, I spent another half day hanging it on the beam to keep out raccoons and rats!

Lu Wujiu found it interesting and thought to himself, if there really were a cat slave and a mouse, it would be a piece of fat meat delivered to your door.

Who would have thought that in the middle of the night, instead of the raccoon and the mouse, a wall climber arrived.

Lu Wujiu, who was sitting cross-legged at the highest point of Lao Lu Temple, saw the wall climber nimbly climbing into the Taoist temple, passing through the corridors and alleys with great skill, and walked in front of the old Taoist priest's room, and started tapping with his fingers.

"Dong dong - dong dong -"

After not seeing any response for a long time, his face changed slightly. He listened for a moment, and wanted to push the door open, but finally stopped.

He took out a piece of talisman paper and blew it gently. The talisman paper ignited without wind and turned into a paper crane, floating towards the backyard of Lao Lu Temple.

The wall climber frowned and ran after the paper crane.
