Chapter 151 Life's Journey is Full of Temptations, Actively Participate in Mythology! (Please Subscribe)
There is a Buddhist kingdom in the palm of your hand.

Niu Jun also possessed a world within his palm, a small space where the universe unfolded.

He grasped the divination spirit and contained it within his palm. The tiny figure, no bigger than an ant, spun around in his palm, its face filled with fear.

This is also normal.

After all, this fortune teller was just a charlatan, a minor evil cultivator at the Refining Spirit Realm, who had never witnessed such a great supernatural power as the power to control the world in one's palm.

So say it.

This fortune teller is truly blessed.

Looking at the divination immortal in his palm, Niu Jun quickly learned about his identity and origin from his memories.

I learned this from the fortune teller's memories.

This fortune teller was originally the son of a farmer in the Great Pine Divine Dynasty. Later, during his childhood, he met an old cultivator who saw that he had some talent for cultivation and took him as his disciple.

in this way.

This fortune teller has also entered the path of Taoism.

Of course, this was not what surprised Niu Jun the most. What truly surprised him was the fortune teller's master.

The fortune teller's master was named Song Dingbo, a notorious heretical sorcerer in the Great Pine God Dynasty.

That's right.

It's the Song Dingbo from Niu Jun's past life memories.

I still remember that in my elementary school textbooks in my previous life, there was an article called "Song Dingbo Catches a Ghost".

In the story, Song Dingbo was very brave; when he was young, he once encountered a ghost while walking at night.

A normal person would be terrified.

Instead of being afraid, Song Dingbo stepped forward and asked the ghost, "Who are you?"

The ghost replied, "I am a ghost, who are you?"

Song Dingbo replied, "I am also a ghost, and I wish to go to Wancheng."

The ghost was overjoyed: "I also wish to go to Wancheng. We can travel together."

Halfway there, to save energy, the two agreed to carry each other on their backs.

When Song Dingbo carried the ghost, he felt as light as if he were carrying nothing. But the ghost, carrying Song Dingbo, was exhausted like a dead dog and angrily said, "You are too heavy. You don't look like a ghost."

Song Dingbo replied, "I have just died, so I am very heavy."

The ghost believed it to be true and carried Song Dingbo for more than ten miles.

Upon arriving in Wancheng, Song Dingbo asked again, "I am a newly deceased ghost, and I do not know what taboos there are for ghosts. Please teach me, brother ghost."

The ghost said, "I'm afraid of human saliva."

Song Dingbo spat on the ghost, which turned into a sheep. Song Dingbo then sold the sheep to the market for 1,500 coins.

The story of "Song Dingbo Catches a Ghost" is not taken from Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, but from In Search of the Supernatural.

This famous ancient story about not being afraid of ghosts tells people that with courage and wisdom, humans can overcome all demons and monsters.

"Has the story of 'Song Dingbo Catching Ghosts' become a myth in this universe?"

Niu Jun was greatly surprised and found the mythology of this universe to be truly fascinating.

In particular, he never expected that this swindling, deceitful, and evil fortune teller could actually be associated with a famous figure in textbooks like Song Dingbo, and that there was even some interaction between them in many mythological stories.

"But how did Song Dingbo become a heretical sorcerer?"

Niu Jun continued to peruse the memories in the fortune teller's mind and soon learned the reason why Song Dingbo had become a heretical sorcerer.

However, after Song Dingbo tasted the sweetness of selling ghosts, he transformed the ghosts into sheep, and each ghost could be sold for 1,500 large coins, which was equivalent to 15 taels of silver, more than his income from two or three months of hard work.

Who wouldn't be tempted by something like this?

Therefore, after tasting the sweetness of success, Song Dingbo quickly threw himself into the business of deceiving and selling ghosts, hoping to get rich and achieve financial freedom.

He even learned some unorthodox magic from ghosts while deceiving and selling them.

Among these unorthodox methods is one called "The Art of Creating Animals," which can transform a person into livestock such as cattle and sheep.

After obtaining the "Art of Animal Manufacturing," Song Dingbo quickly came up with new ideas.

After all, while the job of deceiving and selling ghosts is lucrative, it is also dangerous. If those old ghosts discover it, they might just be killed by the ghosts.

So this "Art of Animal Creation" is still the best.

Deceiving and selling ghosts is nowhere near as safe and profitable as directly turning people into cattle and sheep.

Ever since.

Song Dingbo, who was known in the village for deceiving and selling ghosts, entered the sect of unorthodox practices. With his excellent talent for unorthodox cultivation, he quickly made a name for himself in the Great Pine Divine Dynasty and became a sorcerer who was feared by all.

"This is the depravity bred by human desires and money!"

After learning about Song Dingbo's situation, Niu Jun was deeply moved.

It can only be said that human desires are hard to satisfy and one's true nature is hard to maintain. There are temptations everywhere on the road of life, and one wrong step can lead one astray.

"but."

"This world is really interesting."

"Not only is there the White Snake, but also sorcery, Song Dingbo, and even the Black Mountain Demon and the White Lotus Sect!"

"Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, Search for the Gods, Folklore, Ghost Stories, Myths and Legends."

"This is so much fun."

Soon, Niu Jun finished reading through the Diviner's memories, and a smile appeared on his lips.

This fortune teller had traveled all over the country and was a heretical sorcerer. He knew a lot of information, which gave Niu Jun a new understanding of the world where Bai Suzhen lived.

He never imagined that the world of the White Snake not only contained myths and legends, but also strange tales from Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, Search for Gods, and folk customs.

Combined with the wisp of mythical power entwined around the divination immortal.

Niu Jun had reason to suspect that these ghost and monster tales from Liaozhai, Sou Shen, and folklore were also part of mythology, only they were not as favored by "mythology" as real mythological stories.

"The level of this mythical power is too high. With my methods, I simply cannot comprehend or analyze it, let alone extract this mythical power from the Divination Immortal."

"Therefore, the best way is to package this divination immortal, along with his mythological power, and send it to the main body so that the main body can comprehend and analyze it."

"With my current strength and the assistance of the Enlightenment Mirror, suppressing and comprehending the wisp of mythical power within this Divination Immortal should not be a problem."

Looking at the divination master in his palm, Niu Jun quickly came up with an idea.

Although there was only a wisp of mythical power on this divination immortal, it was beyond his comprehension, making him wonder if the essence of this mythical power had already surpassed the Taiyi level and was left behind by a true Daluo level being.

to be frank.

This was the second time Niu Jun had come into contact with such power.

However, compared to the dark power that revives the universe through mythology, the wisp of mythological power entwined around the Diviner is undoubtedly gentler and safer.

This gave Niu Jun the idea of ​​sending the Divination Immortal to the Journey to the West universe so that the original body could comprehend and analyze the wisp of mythical power within the Divination Immortal.

After all, there is no true Great Luo lineage in the Journey to the West universe, and Niu Jun knows nothing about the Great Luo realm; everything he knows is based on his own imagination.

Now, this mythical power has appeared.

This was undoubtedly a huge opportunity for him.

As for the dangers that I might encounter while comprehending and analyzing this wisp of mythical power?

Niu Jun didn't care.

After all, compared to the great tomb in the Holy King Universe and the eerie black mist ocean in the Mysterious Revival Universe, the dangers encountered in comprehending and analyzing this wisp of mythical power were still within Niu Jun's tolerance.

Or.

Of all the Great Luo powers he has encountered so far, the Mythical Power before him is undoubtedly the safest and most controllable one. Most importantly...

The mythical power entwined around the Diviner was only a negligible wisp.

Niu Jun believed that with his own cultivation level and the assistance of the Enlightenment Mirror and the Dao Fruit Universe, even if there were problems with this mythical power, it would be enough to suppress and obliterate it.

Just like when they suppressed the mysterious dark forces that had revived the universe.

Think of this.

Niu Jun no longer hesitated. He immediately sealed the Diviner Immortal and then used the time-space channel of the chat group to send an avatar back to the Journey to the West universe to tell his main body about the Diviner Immortal and the situation of the mythical White Snake universe.

My response speed is extremely fast.

Before the space-time tunnel closed, an avatar emerged from the tunnel and took the fortune teller away.

And then.

A new avatar emerged from the spacetime tunnel and merged into Niu Jun's body, allowing him to gain a deeper understanding of the universe's laws and principles embodied in the myth of the White Snake.

at the same time.

A power faintly similar to the mythical power on the Divination Immortal began to condense within Niu Jun's body, making his connection with this universe even closer and more intimate.

"Should we gather as much mythical power as possible?"

With the fusion of the two Dharma bodies, in addition to numerous insights into the Great Dao, Niu Jun also received an extra piece of information in his mind.

That was a mission message from the original body, instructing him to collect as much mythical power as possible from the world of the mythical White Snake.

According to Niu Jun's own understanding and analysis of the power of mythology, although this power of mythology exceeds the Taiyi level, it is still within the scope of his comprehension and understanding.

As long as we can gather more mythical power to study and comprehend it.

He will be able to explore his own mythological path and find the opportunity to break through to the Great Luo realm.

Furthermore, Niu Jun suspects that the myth of the Mythical White Snake Universe may not be a certain Great Luo level cultivator, but more likely a certain Great Luo level innate treasure.

If I can find the origin of the myth, I might be able to obtain this innate treasure of the Great Luo level.

If he could obtain this innate treasure of the Great Luo level, he might be able to use the power of mythology to eliminate the two hidden dangers on his body, which would undoubtedly be of great importance to Niu Jun.

"In that case."

"Let's start at Lanruo Temple!"

After thinking it over, Niu Jun finally decided to start with the ghost story "A Chinese Ghost Story" rather than directly mixing it into the myth of the White Snake.

no way.

Ghost stories like "A Chinese Ghost Story" involve powers at most Earth Immortals or True Immortals, which are still under Niu Jun's control and wouldn't attract much attention.

But myths like the White Snake are different.

Putting everything else aside, just considering the two powerful beings, the Old Mother of Lishan and Guanyin Bodhisattva, they are not people that Niu Jun can afford to offend in his current state.

Mythical power is abundant among mythical figures and involves high levels of power. Even the lowest-level myths involve gods and immortals. Myths like the White Snake directly involve the top combat power of the mythical White Snake universe.

Niu Jun isn't stupid.

How should one choose when lacking sufficient strength?

There's no need to think about it at all.

……

The story of A Chinese Ghost Story takes place in Guobei County.

Guobei County is not far from Yuhang County, both belonging to the Jiangnan region.

Even in the memories of the fortune teller, there are faint memories of Guo Bei County, Lanruo Temple, and even the Tree Demon Granny.

Of course, the fortune teller himself had never been to Guobei County.

He knew about Guobei County because before he completed his apprenticeship, his master, Song Dingbo, had warned him that Lanruo Temple in Guobei County was an extremely ominous place, inhabited by a thousand-year-old demon named Tree Demon Granny.

That tree demon, Granny, took root in Lanruo Temple, listened to and comprehended Buddhist teachings, observed the Buddha's transformation into a demon, and from Buddhist teachings, she comprehended the Limitless Demonic Path.

Although he lacked protective magic weapons, he still had a foundation, having transitioned from Buddhism to demonism. Compared to a heretical cultivator who had no foundation, no profound methods, and no magic weapons, he was far more powerful.

In addition, having operated in Lanruo Temple for a thousand years and occupying a strategic location, his strength is considered to be of average level among demon kings in the Dao Integration Realm.

Most importantly, the Tree Demon Granny is also related to the Black Mountain Demon of the Underworld. The Black Mountain Demon is an unparalleled demon who roams both the Yin and Yang realms. His cultivation has long reached the Earth Immortal realm, and he makes countless cultivators tremble at the mere mention of his name.

It was precisely because of the Black Mountain Demon.

Only righteous cultivators of the Great Pine Divine Dynasty would turn a blind eye to the Tree Demon Granny.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the Tree Demon Granny is sensible. Even when she kills someone, she first sends her female ghost subordinates to lure them away, instead of killing indiscriminately and massacring villages and towns at every turn.

Niu Jun's reason for targeting the familiar demon grandmother is quite simple.

Because this tree demon grandmother's weaknesses are very obvious.

It was born from a large tree; trees die when moved, but people thrive when they move. No matter how far it ran, it couldn't escape the territory of Lanruo Temple, so Niu Jun didn't need to search for it everywhere.

especially.

It's already July, the height of summer.

According to Niu Jun's calculations, the story of A Chinese Ghost Story is about to begin.

If he wants to gather the power of mythology, he definitely needs to participate in tales of the strange and mythological stories, rather than recklessly running off to kill that tree demon.

no way.

The reason why "A Chinese Ghost Story" was able to spread so widely and be recorded in the tales of ghosts and monsters is because of the love between Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian, a love story between a human and a ghost. Without this element, it certainly wouldn't have become a tale of the supernatural, let alone invoked the power of mythology.

Just like the myth of the White Snake, the love story between Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian, a human and a demon, is no longer there.

It would be a miracle if it could become a myth.

As the saying goes:
Only by participating in and immersing oneself in mythology can one truly benefit from it.

To pursue mythology, to explore mythology, and ultimately to take control of mythology.

……

Life's journey is as long as a beautiful dream.

The road was windy and frosty, and the wind and frost hit my face.

In this mortal world, how many directions can beautiful dreams take? Search for the heart of your infatuated dream.

Niu Jun rode a small donkey leisurely away from Yuhang and headed towards Guobei County, ready to follow Yan Chixia to seize the spotlight and reap the mythical power of the A Chinese Ghost Story.

"Young master, may I ask how to get to Guobei County?"

"I lost my map, and I don't know which of these two lines leads to Guobei County."

Near a fork in the road close to Guobei County, a scholar carrying a bamboo basket waved to him repeatedly, pleading for help.

Hearing the scholar plead for help.

The little donkey, quite intelligently, stopped walking.

Niu Jun opened his eyes, looked at the scholar, and immediately laughed.

A square scarf, a scholar's robe, a bamboo basket, and cloth shoes that expose the toes...

Isn't this Ning Caichen?
What a coincidence, we bumped into each other halfway there.

It seems he really has a connection with the story of A Chinese Ghost Story. Perhaps after the story spreads, he will get an extra shot and gain more mythical power.

Think of this.

Niu Jun immediately smiled and said, "I'm going to Guobei County. If you'd like, just follow me."
