Chapter 134: Inviting and Detaining Gods, Breakthrough, Three Incense Sticks
"Who is it?"
Chen Yushu stopped and asked.
"I, Lao Qi!"
Immediately afterwards, Qi Jichuan's voice was heard from outside the yard.
After hearing this, Chen Yushu opened the door.
"Senior Qi, how is your recovery going?"
Chen Yushu took the opportunity to ask.
"I've almost recovered."
Qi Jichuan nodded, walked in and said, "I came here this time to say goodbye to you."
"bid farewell?"
Chen Yushu was stunned.
It's not surprising.
The other party came here this time because he accepted the invitation of his senior brother to raise the corpse of that old beast Wei Mingyuan and destroy his plan. Now that the matter has been accomplished and his injured body has almost recovered, he naturally has to leave.
"I am the temple priest of the General Temple in Qianyang County. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and our General Temple always holds many sacrificial activities during the Chinese New Year.
This time, I have already wasted quite a bit of time, and it is time to leave."
Qi Jichuan spoke.
"I understand!"
Chen Yushu nodded, naturally understanding.
Qianyang County is more prosperous than Qinghe County, mainly because it is close to the provincial capital and is also a major transportation route connecting the two provinces, making it a small provincial capital.
The general temple where he is located is named the Mighty General. Although the incense is not very strong, he is still a real evil spirit.
It is also because of this that he was able to borrow power, use the technique of summoning gods, and ask the medium to bless his own strength.
"Last time, I said I would teach you the wall-climbing technique.
This time when we go back, my senior brother will also leave with us. He probably won’t come here again in the short term.
So, I plan to teach you this martial art while I have time this time.
With your potential, it shouldn't be difficult to learn this martial art.
Once you develop internal strength, the effect of this martial art will be even greater. You will be able to climb a steep thousand-foot cliff directly."
Qi Jichuan then spoke.
"Thank you, Senior Qi.
However, there is no rush for the gecko's wall-climbing skills.
There is something I want to ask about, and it’s about summoning the gods.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Yushu first bowed to express his gratitude, and then quickly took the opportunity to bring up some of his previous troubles.
"you say!"
Qi Jichuan nodded and did not refuse.
"Inviting the gods, besides causing the cultivator's body to be affected by evil spirits and requiring nourishment and recovery, are there any other dangers?
For example, regarding the future practice of monks.
Or, in the future, will I be bound by the shackles of the spirits I have summoned?"
Although Chen Yushu obtained the book on summoning gods, it only mentioned the corresponding god systems and methods of casting spells. As for the dangers, it only mentioned that Yin Qi would damage the body and greatly consume the Qi and blood of the person who summoned the gods.
But there is no mention of other impacts.
He was naturally wary of this.
“This involves certain secrets.
If it were anyone else, I wouldn't bother to say anything.
But Brother Chen, you not only helped us to get revenge, but also saved my life. Naturally, I cannot hide it from you.
So, if we talk about the impact, there is indeed an impact.”
Qi Jichuan's face immediately showed a trace of solemnity, and he said: "If you want to invite the gods, you must worship them first.
With this bow, the subordinate relationship has actually been determined.
Then, if you want it to possess you, you must sign a divine contract with it, open your mind, and allow it to enter your body.
Although this divine contract will provide you with some protection, its benefits to them are even greater.
Because the initiative lies with them.
When the time agreed in the divine covenant arrives, they will leave immediately and will no longer care whether the evil spirits and evil spirits we have to face have been eliminated.
But once they leave, people like us who pray to the gods will immediately become extremely weak.
If you face evil spirits and demons in this state, you will almost certainly die.
Therefore, although there are many sects that practice the art of summoning gods, and they are divided into several divine systems, in fact, the people within the sect are relatively few.
Because deaths happen very frequently."
Speaking of this, Qi Jichuan couldn't help but shake his head. This was also the reason why he turned to practicing martial arts.
Not just because he was afraid of death.
It is because when martial arts are practiced to the extreme, one can truly be fearless of ghosts and gods and slay evil spirits with a sword.
It can be said that practicing martial arts is another solution for those who practice Yin body training to invite gods.
It is another idea of breaking free from the shackles of gods.
He hasn't succeeded yet.
Because after summoning the gods, his actual combat power is stronger than his martial arts.
But he can use martial arts and use the technique of summoning gods as little as possible, thereby greatly increasing his chances of survival.
"Then is there any other way to borrow the power of the gods and prevent such a thing from happening?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yushu hurriedly asked.
“Yes, there are.
However, this method can only be achieved by a large family or a great Taoist temple or sect.
That is the method of restraining the spirit!
Summon ghosts and gods to serve you.
But most people, even if they know the method and can use it, don’t dare to use it.
Because once discovered, they will be retaliated by the gods and hated by them.
Naturally rejected.”
Qi Jichuan lowered his voice and spoke.
"The method of restraining the gods?"
A glimmer of light suddenly flashed in Chen Yushu's eyes.
He thought of the method of opening an altar that he had learned.
Among them are the techniques for capturing ghosts.
But in fact, false gods are, after all, evil spirits and demons.
It was only because these evil spirits were canonized by the Wu Kingdom court that they could openly set up halls and build temples in towns to absorb incense and improve their cultivation strength.
But in fact, their essence is evil spirits and evil spirits... If you know their specific names, you can also use the method of capturing ghosts to capture them and make them do things for you.
certainly.
All of this is extremely risky.
If you want to capture him, you must have the power to suppress him.
Otherwise, if there is a backlash, it will be no joke.
Not only will the altar be overturned immediately by the opponent, but the person who casts the spell will also be directly attacked, making his life or death unpredictable.
Afterwards, it will cause hundreds of ghosts to roam at night, causing unrest in the neighborhood and serving as a warning to the world.
Chen Yushu thought carefully and vaguely grasped some clues, but he always felt that there were still many difficulties. He needed to think carefully and examine it before he could try it.
Fortunately, he is not in a hurry.
Now he just needs to accumulate strength.
There is no need to take risks and specifically summon gods to serve you.
Without strength, it is just wishful thinking.
Then, Chen Yushu continued to ask Qi Jichuan a few questions. After confirming that he had no doubts, the other party kept his promise and began to teach him the Gecko Wall-Climbing Skill.
This martial art is a method of light work.
What is Qinggong?
It is a kind of martial arts that uses internal force to push the power, thereby achieving various martial arts that go against common sense.
For example, with a light jump, he could reach two or three feet. Ordinary people, even martial artists who practiced external and internal cultivation, could not do it at all.
But with the help of Qinggong, it can be done easily.
Especially when performed on walls.
"The most important aspect of the Gecko Wall-Climbing Technique is the use of internal energy. Once activated, it automatically creates a suction force between your legs and feet, allowing you to stick firmly to the wall and prevent you from falling.
certainly.
At first, the suction will be very weak.
But when your realm is high and your inner strength is strong, then even sleeping on a straight wall will be easy."
As Qi Jichuan spoke, he also explained in detail the key points of this martial art and the method of circulating internal force.
"Can this also be achieved by using force?"
Chen Yushu couldn't help but ask.
Trying your best, to a certain extent, is the predecessor of internal strength.
It’s just that strength is the power of a warrior’s physical body, which is actually invisible and intangible.
However, internal force is real and can circulate throughout the body and operate automatically.
As he spoke, Chen Yushu couldn't help but use his strength to perform the Gecko Wall Climbing Technique. He supported the wall with both hands, stepped forward, and used strength instead of internal force to practice the Gecko Wall Climbing Technique.
Suddenly, he felt a suction force coming from his hands, which made his whole body firmly stuck to the wall.
But above the soles of the feet, the suction is weaker.
In addition, his strength was not as strong as his internal strength after all, and he only managed to do this with the help of the more powerful force of the golden thread of meridian strength.
So in just three breaths, his hands loosened and he fell from the wall.
"No... Have you mastered it?"
Qi Jichuan shook his head instinctively, but then he saw Chen Yushu stuck to the wall. He confirmed that the other party's fingers were not bent, but just stretched out and lying there. Surprise immediately appeared on his face.
Have you mastered it?
Moreover, is this the case where there is no internal force running, only relying on physical strength?
This was the first time he had seen such a situation, and he found it somewhat unbelievable.
But the facts before him really shocked him.
"Yes!"
Chen Yushu glanced at the attribute panel, which clearly displayed the words "Introduction to the Gecko Wall-Climbing Technique", and nodded involuntarily.
Qi Jichuan fell silent upon hearing this, and couldn't help but feel the gap.
You know, when he first practiced the Gecko Wall-Climbing Technique, it took him half a month to master it and get started.
The key point is that Chen Yushu has not yet cultivated his internal strength and can only use his jin...
So soon, he proposed to leave.
He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, the jealousy that would arise in his heart would distort his appearance.
…
Qi Jichuan left quickly.
Soon after, Zhao Yufeng also left.
Only two days later than Qi Jichuan.
According to the other party, the reason why he stayed for two days was because his corpse was severely damaged last time and it would take time to recover.
Then when the other party left, he also saw him off and clearly discovered that the other party's corpse refining had been greatly improved compared to before.
First of all, in terms of body shape, it has shrunk a lot compared to before.
He used to be tall and mighty, standing like a door god, but now he is at least a lot shorter.
But it is more solid and honest.
In addition, its mobility is also very different. When walking on the road, it is almost the same as an ordinary person, and even more like a human.
Apart from the fact that his face was still pale and his eyes looked a little lifeless, it would be difficult for ordinary people to notice the difference if they didn't pay attention.
In addition, its biggest change is that it is no longer afraid of light.
It's not that you can completely ignore sunlight, but you can walk short distances during the day.
“It seems that the five corpse pills have indeed improved it significantly.
It has almost evolved to the level of an armored corpse."
Chen Yushu had also read the secret book on corpse-raising, and of course he knew that this was a refined corpse that had been elevated to the level of an armored corpse.
What is a armored corpse?
Jiashi is a level name for a refined corpse, often representing strength and potential.
For example, ordinary zombies reach their limit when they grow to the evil zombie level. Although their combat power is not weak, it is far inferior to that of corpse monsters.
Because it is a corpse demon, its grade is higher.
Even though the two are at the same realm and are both evil zombies, one is far superior in terms of specific strength.
Ordinary zombies can even be driven by it.
Armored zombies are a grade above ordinary zombies, and are generally divided into four types: iron armor, copper armor, silver armor, and gold armor.
Among them, iron armor is the lowest and gold armor is the strongest.
Zhao Yufeng's refined corpse is at least at the level of an iron-armored corpse. Although its strength level is still at the level of an evil zombie, its actual combat power is already above that of an ordinary evil zombie.
One iron-armored evil zombie is powerful enough to defeat two ordinary evil zombies.
Feeling emotional, Chen Yushu turned around and walked towards the pharmacy.
“The people who took the assessment have left.
Before leaving, Dr. Liu Xiang came to me and asked me to give you a message.
He said he's looking forward to your performance in next year's talent test."
At noon, in the cafeteria, Qian Qian saw Chen Yushu and said with a smile.
Hearing this, Chen Yushu's heart moved and he couldn't help but look at the other party.
Liu Xiang is from the eldest wife's family.
So it seems that Qian Qian is actually from the first wife's family?
However, judging from the situation of the entire pharmacy, the other party did not seem to have much conflict or contradiction with his master, the shopkeeper Su Ming, and most of the time, he was very cooperative.
Although this was also because his master was the shopkeeper and the other party was just an instructor.
However, a lot of the care the other party had shown him before was actually out of consideration for his master.
This is a bit strange.
You know, the competition among the three rooms has always been fierce.
This can be seen from the fact that there was originally only one spot for each family in this genius exam, but the third lady Liu Qingyan from the third branch had to personally fight for it.
Not to mention, he had also experienced an assassination attempt by the second house.
Therefore, he has always been wary of Liu Xiang, who came from the eldest wife's family.
But this time, the other party did not make things difficult for him. Even when Liu Xiang faced him several times, his expression was calm and there was no special expression.
Now, Qian Qian has even sent a message, showing good intentions...
"Do you feel something strange?"
Seeing this, Qian Qian took the initiative to explain, saying: "In fact, although there is competition between the first and third houses, they are more of a cooperative relationship.
Because, in the Liu family pharmacy, the second branch is the real dominant one.
Not only is the second-house grandfather the most powerful, he now controls the military department of the medicine shop and most of the medicinal fields. Moreover, the second-house grandmother is still alive, and her maiden family is the Wu family, one of the three major families in Qinghe Town.
"I see!"
Chen Yushu nodded, a look of understanding appearing on his face.
“As for me.
It was also because of the financial support from the big house that I was able to stand out.
Before, when you showed your talent, I actually thought about recommending you to the main room.
It's just that I am a person of little influence, and I haven't made any significant achievements, so I wanted you to say a few good words for me during the year-end assessment when I can show my talents.
However, when I later learned that you had become Master Su's disciple, I gave up this idea.
Of course, it was because of you that Liu Xiang from the eldest house finally noticed me, which was a disguised way of fulfilling my wish."
Qian Qian smiled slightly, with obvious joy in his eyes.
"oh?
It seems like you have something happy happening?"
Chen Yushu was a little puzzled as to why the other party had never mentioned the request he had made before.
And he had indeed received some care from Qian Qian before.
If it weren't for the other party, his early cultivation progress wouldn't have been so fast.
After all, at that time, his state of meditation was only at the shallow level, and in essence, he was not much different from other people. He relied more on the ability of the attribute panel.
Now, I finally understand.
“Now, there are only about ten days left until the Chinese New Year.
Doctor Liu Xiang told me to report to Qinghe County next year.
The higher-ups will assign me a new job, probably a management position."
Qian Qian did not hide it and spoke.
"Congratulations, Master Qian!"
Chen Yushu quickly bowed and congratulated.
"You're welcome."
Qian Qian waved his hands quickly.
After Qian Qian left, Chen Yushu's gaze couldn't help but become deep.
"It's almost Chinese New Year."
When I think about the time when I first came into this world, I was terrified and trembling because I encountered a little devil.
now.
Not only did he achieve success in martial arts, he also began to practice internal cultivation.
The most important thing is to practice as a Yin person.
Two incense sticks!
It took no more than a hundred days.
Such progress and changes could not help but make Chen Yushu feel a little complacent even though he was a calm person.
The thought of going home arose involuntarily in my mind.
I miss my family more during the holidays.
The Chinese New Year, whether in the past life or this life, is the most important festival for every ordinary person.
Naturally, he also wanted to go home and reunite with his family.
Not to mention, he heard that his mother, Zhao Hehua, was pregnant again.
There are many pregnancy-protecting talismans in his storage bag, which he accumulated from practicing the corresponding talisman skills.
Although he gave some of it to Shi Hao, after all, the other party is now quite famous, and it is inevitable that some people will visit him for help.
This also includes some pregnant women.
Of course, this talisman for protecting the fetus can also be used.
It’s just that the sales volume is not that high.
Therefore, there was still a thick stack of things in his storage bag.
Naturally, he would pick the best ones for his mother.
So he went straight up to the second floor and found his master, the shopkeeper Su Ming.
“About three days later.
Three days later, except for a few apprentices, most people will have a day off.
You can go home with me then.
It's been so long.
You really need to go back and see your parents.
As your master, I should also go there.
But as the owner of a drug store, I also need to go back to Qinghe County at the end of the year to report on my work and take stock of the accounts.
So, we can only wait until after the New Year.”
When Chen Yushu asked whether there would be a holiday during the Chinese New Year, Shopkeeper Su immediately gave an answer.
"yes!
Thank you, Master!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yushu was also very happy.
Many more expectations arose in my heart.
…
Immortal cultivation level: Two incense sticks (97/100)
"The incense is about to be completed in two sticks."
At night, Chen Yushu sat cross-legged at the head of his bed, a hint of excitement appearing on his face.
After several days of hard practice, coupled with the absorption and transformation of the evil spirits' essences, his Taoism skills have been improving rapidly.
Now, we have finally reached the critical juncture where we are about to break through.
Take a deep breath.
Chen Yushu took out the last bit of evil spirit's essence.
Because he was also worried that the evil spirit's essence would affect the quality of his practice, Chen Yushu always maintained the efficiency of absorbing it for one day and refining it steadily for one day.
And this time is the third time.
Then, his mind moved, and his mental power immediately spread out, covering the evil spirit.
Sizzle...
A small amount of spiritual particles was then drawn out by him and quickly absorbed into his body.
boom!
moment.
Countless negative emotions also erupted.
It constantly impacted his mind, confused his intellect, and bewitched his soul...but Chen Yushu remained unmoved, his heart was as firm as a rock, and extremely firm.
That extremely solid spiritual core was just a slight glance.
These countless negative emotions were immediately swept away.
Then, the large amount of extremely pure spiritual particles were absorbed and transformed by him, and with the operation of his White Tiger Visualization Method, they quickly turned into his unique Taoist practice.
One share, two shares, three shares...
Incense +1
Incense +1
Incense +1
With the last stick of incense, a prompt of increased Taoist power appeared.
Chen Yushu immediately felt a sense of completeness and fullness.
I only felt that my heavenly fire and earthly fire were extremely vigorous at this moment.
I felt a burning sensation all around me.
This is because the spiritual fire is extremely strong and is about to dissipate.
“Right now.
Borrowing the fire from heaven and earth, directly ignite the human fire."
Chen Yushu was delighted, but without any hesitation, he immediately controlled his Taoist power and rushed towards the right shoulder on the other side, where the human fire was.
boom!
A ball of flame suddenly condensed and emerged.
This flame is invisible and intangible, and cannot be seen by ordinary people with the naked eye. Even if a person has abundant mental power, he cannot see it at all.
Only those monks who use the art of seeing qi and the art of spiritual eyes can use special spells to get a glimpse of its appearance.
But Chen Yushu practiced the art of hidden fragrance, so even those cultivators who mastered the art of seeing qi and the art of spiritual eyes would not be able to see his specific situation clearly unless they had mastered the art of seeing qi and the art of spiritual eyes.
Because his art of concealing fragrance has now been cultivated to a small level of success by him.
Then, only by improving similar spiritual eye skills to a small level of success can there be a certain possibility of seeing through his concealment.
Otherwise, it would just be a pile of fog, or look like an ordinary person.
“It’s done.
Light the human fire.
It’s equivalent to my cultivation level, finally breaking through.
His cultivation has officially reached the level of three incense sticks."
Chen Yushu was delighted and could clearly feel that his mental strength had become stronger.
The quality of Taoism has been improved to a certain extent.
His eyes fell on the attribute panel.
…
