Chapter 148: Searching for Evil Spirits and Encountering Fights
——Thanks to friends Huhu3, Lightning Hunter, and Yueloukong for their rewards.
In the primeval forest with towering ancient trees, Shi Xuan was walking back. In the past half month, he had searched for hundreds of miles, but he really didn't find the shadow of Yin Yang Zhensha. The nearby that the master said was really "nearby"!
Because of the huge trees, it is difficult to find the location of the evil spirit from the sky, so Shi Xuan would first look at the qi to determine the places with evil spirits, and then walk through the forest to investigate. Of course, this way, all evil spirits cannot be found. After all, many evil spirits are in the cave, and they cannot be seen by looking at the qi.
Suddenly, a white light and a red light flew from a distance, the red light behind and the white light in front, flying and colliding fiercely, and loud fighting sounds were heard from time to time.
The two rays of light fought hard, sometimes entangled with each other and fell into the forest, and sometimes rushed into the sky together. After fighting for a while, the white light rose sharply and sent a fierce attack to the red light. The red light was not to be outdone and also emitted a dazzling light to meet it. Bang, with a loud bang, the two rays of light fell at the same time, and the birds and beasts in the entire primeval forest fled in panic. Then the two rays of light soared into the sky at the same time, first flying dozens of miles quickly, and then fighting again.
In this way, the two rays of light chased and fought, and the other fought and fled, and soon disappeared in the distant sky.
Judging from the degree of the fight, Shi Xuan should be at the level of the spirit and soul period, but since it has nothing to do with him, he should go back to the village with peace of mind and expand the scope to continue searching for evil spirits tomorrow.
"Uncle, you are back." Chi Yao stood at the gate of the village prettily. At this time every day, she would wait here to welcome Shi Xuan back. According to her, this is a manifestation of respecting teachers.
Chi Yao had some talent for cultivation. She had mastered the "Soft Water Art" in the past half month. In addition, she had been training her body and practicing martial arts since she was a child, so her cultivation progressed rapidly. She was no longer self-pitying and became more lively and cheerful.
"Well, do you have any questions today?" Shi Xuan was very satisfied with Chi Yao's cultivation. In addition, he would leave after finding the evil spirit, so he mainly asked Chi Yao if she had any questions.
Chi Yao's two rows of small white teeth slightly revealed: "Xiao Yao has sorted out today's questions. I will come to ask you after you take a rest for a while."
The two walked into the village while talking. The other people they met, whether they were strong men or the elderly, weak women and children, were respectful to Shi Xuan. Some even knelt down by the side and waited for Shi Xuan to pass by before getting up. The illusion of riding a dragon back that night created by the evil spirit of the black dragon with the soul-bewitching banner shocked the entire Chijiazhai. After hearing that Chi Yao was learning immortal methods from the gods, they were jealous.
In the morning of the following day, Zhang Qi, who had been frightened all night because of offending the gods, knelt in front of Chi Yao's bamboo house. Finally, Shi Xuan used some magic to slap himself hundreds of times in front of everyone before he was released with a red and swollen face.
And in Shi Xuan's heart, Zhang Qi was sentenced to death, because after the slapping, his heart was full of resentment. Shi Xuan's spiritual perception was not wrong on this point, so he decided to find an opportunity to make him die accidentally under the monster in a few days. Some people will cause endless harm if they are not eradicated.
As for why he didn't kill him in person to establish his authority, and why he used the means of proof and deterrence to deal with this matter, it was because this was Chi Yao's business, not Shi Xuan's own business.
For Shi Xuan, the most direct and simple way to deal with it was to kill. If one person didn't obey, he would kill one, if two didn't obey, he would kill a pair, and kill until everyone was convinced. With the overwhelming strength shown as a "living god", the whole village would be obedient after killing a few people, but did this solve Chi Yao's problem?
You have to know that the premise is that the several surnames of the Chijiazhai have been intermarried for generations, and the relationship has long been entangled. There may be internal conflicts, but it is another matter when outsiders interfere.
Shi Xuan will not stay here for a long time. He will leave immediately after finding the evil spirit, which will not take two or three months. After that, Chi Yao will be in a state of fear and hatred for most people. They are afraid that the immortal will come again in the future, and they will definitely not dare to do any substantial harm to Chi Yao. However, if the vast majority of the entire village are indifferent, cold, hateful, and hostile to Chi Yao, how much better will Chi Yao's living conditions be than before Shi Xuan dealt with it?
Of course, there will definitely be a small number of people who want to get the appreciation of the immortal and want to learn Chi Yao's immortal skills and try to please Chi Yao, but what good will such people's goodwill do to Chi Yao?
The goals you want to achieve are different, so the means you use are naturally different, that's all.
After entering the small bamboo building, Chi Yao waited for Shi Xuan to finish his practice before he came to ask for advice with his own practice problems, and brought a booklet with him.
"Uncle, didn't you say you wanted to see our family's White Tiger Seven Blades?" After asking the question, Chi Yao handed the booklet to Shi Xuan. Shi Xuan was indeed a little curious about this martial arts technique passed down from ancient times.
This booklet has only seven pages, each page has a sword style. Every time you turn a page, there is a strong murderous aura. The White Tiger Seven Blades actually practiced the sword intent, no wonder it can kill the Qi Induction Stage with the subtle state.
In this universe, there are not only methods for cultivating the primordial spirit, but also methods for cultivating the physical body, which can be cultivated into an immortal body. It's just that the Taoist Yu Yu who created this world cultivated the primordial spirit, so the techniques circulated in the Yu Yu world, whether they are the orthodox Taoist sect or the side sects like the Gu Shen Sect, are mostly the methods of the primordial spirit.
The sword intention of the White Tiger's Seven Swordsmanship is the martial arts Kungfu that matches the physical training method. It can use itself as a small world and use the sword style as a link to attract the outside world, thereby doubling the power of the swordsmanship. Its martial arts status in physical training It is similar to the position of Sword Qi Leiyin in Yuanshen Swordsmanship.
The only difference is that Sword Intention can be practiced in the subtle realm (out-of-body stage), while Sword Qi Leiyin has to reach the Divine Soul stage.
The reason why the Chiyao clan practiced sword intention until they died young is because they only had martial arts skills and no basic physical training methods. The strength of their physical bodies could not withstand the backlash of the sword intention. This is also the reason why Mo Yuan cannot improve. Once improved, without practicing the sword intention, it will be no different from ordinary sword skills. Similarly, if you want to take the path of soul, you must give up the White Tiger Seven Swordsmanship.
For the Chi Yao clan, the fundamental solution is to find a true method of physical cultivation. Although it may not match the sword intention, at least it will not survive less than half a hundred.
Shi Xuan closed the book. The Seven White Tiger Swordsmanship was an excellent martial arts technique, but it was useless to practice it on his own. Unless he gave up the path of the soul and cultivated the immortal body instead, it was clear which one he should choose.
"Your sword skills are excellent, but you lack the most basic physical training method, so you are injured by the sword. If you want to solve it, you can only see if you have the opportunity to obtain the true physical method in the future." Shi Xuan handed the booklet back to Chi Yao.
Chi Yao also embraced Shi Xuan's idea of improving his swordsmanship, so he smiled and said: "So that's it. Ancestor Mo didn't explain the reason at the beginning. According to the few words left by my ancestors, it should have been caused by the split during the migration. The true Dharma is lost.”
…………
at night.
When Shi Xuan was taking a rest in Xuwaiwai, he suddenly noticed that many people were walking towards the village. From his spiritual sense, he could see that the men who had gone hunting during the day had returned, but there were only a few people inside. The breath of the monks, some of them have the pressure of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, they should be monks in the Qi-entraining stage, but one monk is just like an ordinary person, making Shi Xuan unable to judge whether he is a divine soul or below the Qi-entraining stage. His aura is unstable, like He was seriously injured.
When a monk came, Shi Xuan naturally couldn't sit still. Just when he was considering whether to pry in private or to greet him openly, he heard Chi Yao walking towards his room.
"Uncle, are you asleep? I have something to ask you." Chi Yao gently knocked on Shi Xuan's door.
Shi Xuan returned calmly: "Come in."
Chi Yao opened the door and saw Shi Xuan sitting cross-legged on the bed, looking at him with a normal expression. She saluted: "Uncle, Zhang Qi and the others just sent someone back to report the matter. They said that they met some land gods on the road and wanted to stay in our village for a night and borrow one of our village's formations. use."
"Did you say which sect he is from?" This is the question that Shi Xuan is most concerned about.
Chi Yao rubbed her hair: "It is said to be the Changbai Immortal Mountain Medicine King Sect. I seem to have heard it mentioned by adults who went out to buy daily necessities in the mountain before. It is said to be a sect that is far more powerful than the Gu Shen Sect."
If it is the Yaowang Sect, this matter will be troublesome. Seeing that they still want to borrow the formations in the village, the trouble will be even greater. But the trouble has already been caused. If they are not allowed to borrow it now, the entire village may not be able to use it. After all, no one knew whether the forces that were chasing after him would easily wipe out Chijiazhai. Moreover, if they didn't borrow it, these people from the Yaowang Sect might destroy Chijiazhai by now.
Outside, there is a seriously injured Soul Stage, four or five Qi-Entraining Stages, and I have tried my best to deal with them, but it is not necessarily impossible to deal with them. The question is, why should I deal with them? I haven’t even figured out who is chasing them, Mao Mao. It would be easy to kill his helpers if he acted rashly, so Shi Xuan stood up and told Chi Yao: "Take me there and listen to what they say."
Seeing that Shi Xuan was in charge, Chi Yao immediately took Shi Xuan and walked outside.
At this time, there was a fierce argument at the gate of the village.
"We can't let them in! Who knows what danger they bring!" An elder named Fang said loudly. Just after he finished speaking, he was pulled by his younger brother, who gestured with his mouth that there are land gods over there. Be gentle.
Elder Fang finally came to his senses and suddenly felt a little scared. However, remembering that there was a living god backing him up in the village, he still looked at the opposite side confidently.
In addition to Zhang Qi and other men who were out hunting in the village, there were five strangers opposite. Two of them were a pair of sisters from the fox tribe, one was a middle-aged Taoist priest with a high crown and robes, and the other was a calm and handsome young man. A pair of sisters from the fox race are supporting a young woman wearing an ice-green robe. The woman has distant mountains as her eyebrows, autumn water as her eyes, a beautiful nose and pink lips, and her eyebrows are rather cold and arrogant. She is actually three times more beautiful than the two sisters. It can be said that it is the most powerful country in the world.
It's just that this woman's face is pale now, her lips are slightly parted, and her brows are frowning. Compared with her cold and arrogant self, she has an indescribable feeling of pity.
