Chapter 370: Calling upon the gods and spirits, great prosperity is expected
The mist above the treetops was collected into the small golden furnace, and the entire peach forest became quiet.
Gong Mengbi came down from the treetops. The forest was no longer as noisy as it was last night. Even the Skull God had turned into a skeleton again, sleeping soundly with a small green flag in his mouth.
The smoke from the God of Food had already been completely inhaled by the little ghost, leaving only a trace of lingering fragrance.
Gong Mengbi picked up the small golden stove which was still warm, hung the Skull God around his waist again, and walked out of the Ghost Face Peach Forest.
Since he had been blessed by Xima Mountain, Gong Mengbi had to consider the Taoist tradition of Xima Mountain.
After leaving the forbidden area, Gong Mengbi once again turned into the dead-eyed Ma Qingji.
Gong Mengbi told Yu He that he wanted to borrow Ma Qingji's identity, and Yu He would definitely help him confirm this identity. At least if he wanted to use numerology, he would definitely not be able to find any loopholes in the underworld.
If it was before this, Gong Mengbi would have to cast a spell himself, using the characteristics of Xima Mountain's practice method between life and death to confuse the secret of Ma Qingji's death to prevent it from being calculated by others.
But it’s different now. Not to mention deducing the secrets from heaven, even if you go to the underworld to ask in person, Ma Qingji must be alive.
Gong Mengbi, using Ma Qingji's identity, now controls Xima Mountain's destiny, and even the Ghost Face Peach Tree falls into his hands. He says he is Ma Qingji, and who dares to say he is not?
Ma Qingji himself did not dare to say no.
Grandmaster Ma Qingji summoned Qiu Yun and asked, "What Taoist methods are being practiced in the sect now?"
It was normal that the master had not returned for a long time and did not know the specific situation. Qiu Yun found the Taoist books and placed them in front of Gong Mengbi one by one.
Among them, the "Spirit-Retaining Skill" is naturally the fundamental mental method. Apart from being secretly controlled by the "Spirit-Exorcising Curse", it has no flaws.
The purpose of practicing Zhuling Gong is to permanently retain the spirit. The word "Zhu" here refers to both the method of cultivating the spirit and the method of entrusting the spirit.
The former increases one's cultivation, is naturally not easily corrupted, and can be preserved forever. The latter is to place the spirit in something external, and is also to place the spirit in something external.
Relying on the spirit is not a secret, and few practitioners are unfamiliar with it. However, the practice of the Soul Retention Technique, which specializes in this area, naturally has its own unique advantages.
In addition to the fundamental method of Zhuling Gong, there is also the method of protecting the Tao.
The Skull God, the Ghost Banner, the Ghost Sword, etc. are all evil methods of refining weapons that are inseparable from killing, evil ghosts and evil spirits.
Gong Mengbi said, "Go and search again. If there are any of these evil instruments left, confiscate them. Do not use them or refine them again."
Qiu Yun agreed.
Gong Mengbi looked through the various Taoist techniques practiced in Xima Mountain. Most of them were unorthodox methods. Although each had its own mysteries, they were quite difficult to practice and the benefits were not high. Otherwise, they would not have been gradually dominated by evil magic tools.
After removing the evil methods from the books, Gong Mengbi returned the remaining books to Qiu Yun and said, "These books will be listed as banned books from now on. They are no longer allowed to be taught or studied. If you want to read them, you must first be examined by a master."
Qiu Yun said, "Yes. But Master, since we are missing these spells, do we need to find other spells to supplement them?"
Gong Mengbi said, "I have made some small gains in my cultivation abroad over the years. I will sort it out and revise it in a few days."
Qiu Yun was delighted and went down to continue collecting the evil magic weapons.
Gong Mengbi has some experience in compiling Taoist books. After all, the Mingfu Fox Book was compiled by him and a group of fox fairies from the Wenshu Academy.
The disciples of Xima Mountain mainly cultivate Yin Gods, and are good materials for being priests. There is also a group of ghost fairies working in Yue Mansion, so it would be a waste to not use them.
Gong Mengbi didn't have a headache. He slightly modified the method of summoning gods and spirits, and then burned Yu He directly with fire.
The day after Gong Mengbi returned to the world of the living, he fulfilled his promise - to recruit more people for Yu He.
Yu He received his talisman, thought about it, and agreed.
The Yue Mansion was short of manpower, far more than one might have imagined. Training a qualified priest required a great deal of time and effort.
In this case, it would be better to start training them from the very beginning. If there are outstanding ones, they can be promoted directly when the time comes.
Separated by Yin and Yang, Gong Mengbi and Yu He communicated through incense and decided to practice the method of calling on gods and spirits.
Yu He made suggestions and Gong Mengbi made revisions, and eventually the method of summoning gods and spirits became a Taoist method that was more like a contract.
To practice this method, one must abide by the laws of the Yue Mansion and accumulate merits of the Yue Mansion. These things will be recorded in their life records as evidence for future evaluations.
After completing the cultivation, one can then invite the ancestors to help with fighting and to give guidance on cultivation.
Compared with the Skull God and Ghost Banner, it is also a quick method, but its power is only stronger.
Yu He had already seen the future of this method and sighed, "I'm afraid Xima Mountain will not be destroyed, but will prosper."
Gong Mengbi smiled and said, "Then Priest Yu will have to work hard to become the Grand Judge as soon as possible."
Currently, this summoning technique was only signed with Yu He, and the other spirits in the Yue Mansion might not recognize it. However, all the ancestors of Xima Mountain served under Yu He, and there was no one more suitable than him.
When Yu He becomes the chief judge, or even the King of Hell, this method will be truly promoted and developed.
Yu He glared at Gong Mengbi and said, "I haven't urged you yet, but you're urging me. Why don't you just come to the Yue Mansion and take up your post? Wouldn't that make this method a success in one go?"
Gong Mengbi quickly extinguished the incense and pretended not to hear.
He reorganized the various methods of cultivation written down during the communication with Yu He, and wrote down the secrets of summoning gods and spirits without reservation. Then, Ximashan's freshly baked signature spell was born.
As the founder, Gong Mengbi is also proud of it.
While the summoning technique wasn't particularly powerful, it was sufficient for Xima Mountain. Xima Mountain was originally a place where a group of individuals with limited talent but unwavering faith gathered to cultivate, seeking a path that could transcend talent and achieve immortality. After their passing, their disciples formed a sect, giving rise to Xima Mountain.
From now on, Ximashan will still accept disciples according to this standard. It is okay for them to not have good talents, but they must have a heart of Taoism and a heart of benevolence.
If one lacks talent, the ancestors can fill in the gaps. But if one lacks a heart for the Tao and a heart for benevolence, even the gods cannot save him.
While assisting Qiu Yun in promoting the method of summoning spirits within the sect, Gong Mengbi was only responsible for preaching and answering questions. He lectured on the method a few times and did not have much contact with the disciples.
In addition to maintaining the founder's mysterious personality, it was also because these disciples, followers, and even servants were terribly afraid of him. When they saw him, their legs went weak and they could kneel down at any time.
I'm afraid that in their hearts, Master "Ma Qingji" is comparable to the ghosts and gods in the underworld.
Gong Mengbi couldn't keep scaring them. Although he used the title of Grandmaster, he couldn't really be the head of Xima Mountain. How could a Grandmaster condescend to be the head of a sect for so many generations?
He only had the seal of the headmaster because he could still use it. He reminded Qiu Yun in this way because he hoped that he could shoulder the responsibility of Xima Mountain. Sooner or later, the headmaster position of Xima Mountain would be passed to him.
