Chapter 15: How to Raise Ghosts [Qi Refining]
Yang He frowned slightly.
Taiyi Zhenren's third arm helped to swell the bonfire, the alchemy furnace burned red, the temperature in the temple surged, and the air became distorted.
In ancient times, people who were born with multiple arms and legs did have other names for aliens.
In the original work, Nezha's three-headed and six-armed body was taught by Taiyi Zhenren, so it stands to reason that the old Taoist priest in front of him is this person.
But Yang He felt something was wrong. Ghost Eyes could faintly feel the third arm, and the pressure it brought was far less terrifying than imagined.
"Isn't Master Taiyi an immortal? How can his strength be so...ordinary?"
Master Taiyi touched the mole at the corner of his mouth and counted it with his fingers.
"Without further delay, I will teach you the spiritual pupil cultivation method immediately, otherwise I will not be able to resurrect your senior brother in time."
Yang He suppressed his distracting thoughts and saw the bones of Master Taiyi's third arm proliferating. In an instant, it got into the earthen vat and hit Yang He's eyebrows.
The dim light overflowed, and a large number of memories poured into Yang He's mind out of thin air.
Yang He secretly smacked his tongue, thinking about Ghost Tong's practice method.
"Hiss..."
At first glance, there is nothing wrong with the content of the practice. It is very consistent with the three characters of Qi Refiner. It is purely about communicating with ghost pupils and guiding the external Yin Qi into the body.
But if you change the angle, Yang He found that the whole story is about "raising ghosts".
It is entirely a method of refining qi to raise ghosts.
Yang He couldn't help but ask: "Master, does the three-headed and six-armed Dharmakaya of our Qianyuan Mountain have completely different cultivation methods?"
"Natural!"
"There are different Taoist traditions in the world, and each type of Taoist tradition will derive magical powers. Your spiritual pupil is a kind of innate magical power, which needs to be cultivated through refining Qi."
Taiyi Zhenren said with a strange smile: "As for the three-headed and six-armed body, it is grafting practice."
Although he did not describe the practice of grafting in detail, Yang He immediately realized that the practice of grafting is a method of raising ghosts that belongs exclusively to the ghost realm.
What magical powers, ghosts are ghosts!
The method of raising ghosts in the Hungry Ghost Path is [eating], while the method of raising ghosts in the Tonggui Path is [refining Qi]. As practice breaks through, weak ghosts actually turn into evil ghosts.
"Hey, hey, hey, disciple, you are really lucky to have a master!"
"My teacher will not only teach you how to practice, but also help you lay the foundation for the Tao!!"
Master Taiyi opened the hot alchemy furnace, pulled the cuff of his third arm, and all kinds of medicinal materials fell into it like raindrops.
The alchemy furnace crackled, and the mysterious and mysterious three-color aura flickered.
"Open the furnace!"
Bang.
The third arm held the alchemy furnace high, and the boiling black liquid was like a living thing.
In Yang He's spiritual vision, the medicinal liquid was filled with strong Yin Qi, and as it rolled in the alchemy furnace, it turned into new weak ghosts bit by bit.
Refining alchemy is refining ghosts!
"Disciple."
"This medicinal solution is called the Hou Tian Fen Yin Vein Dan Shui. It will allow you to avoid some detours in the acquired world. Hey, hehe, Xiantian is just around the corner."
Yang He had a thought in his mind, and the terms acquired realm (weak ghosts) and innate realm (evil ghosts) were the same as those in the main world.
"Damn it, Bigan is floating in the sky in the main world, how can there be no connection."
Master Taiyi couldn't stop laughing. There seemed to be a small world inside his sleeves, with medicinal materials flowing in an endless stream, until eyeball-shaped bubbles appeared in the medicinal solution.
It didn't take long.
The liquid medicine was already colorful, and even if the bonfire was extinguished, it was still churning.
"Disciple, the elixir is ready!"
Master Taiyi's eyebrows were filled with excitement. He couldn't help but swallow his saliva when looking at the medicine. He raised the alchemy furnace with his third arm and came to Yang He's earthen vat.
The rich and pungent medicinal fragrance poured into Yang He's nose.
"Cough cough cough."
"Disciple, please hold on for a while. The spiritual pupil will refine the elixir and you will be able to enter the day after tomorrow."
Master Taiyi took out a piece of spiritual talisman and pasted it on the surface of the earthen vat. Yang He could feel that it was isolating the Yin Qi, and he was mainly afraid of wasting the liquid.
"Close your eyes, ears, mouth and nose, enter into meditation in the posture of a baby holding your knees, visualize yourself turning into a spiritual pupil, and completely relax the meridians all over your body."
Immediately afterwards, all the Yin Vein Spreading Dan water was poured into the earthen vat.
"Well..."
Yang He groaned, and the liquid gradually seeped directly into the flesh and bones through the pores, causing pain that almost overwhelmed his consciousness. He didn't dare to neglect, and communicated with the ghost pupils to absorb the strong medicinal power.
Bah bah bah.
It was obvious that Guitong had no mouth, but Yang He heard a strange chewing sound.
Veins popped out on his forehead, and he couldn't help cursing secretly: "You can't eat, you chirp!!"
The movement from the ghost pupils stopped suddenly,
Yang He entered meditation according to the posture mentioned by Master Taiyi.
In a trance, it felt like going back to the time when I first accommodated the ghost pupil. The ghost pupil appeared in my mind, and any changes could be seen.
Guitong began to respond to the surging Yin energy and chose to share food with Yang He.
Yang He stopped breathing and watched the Yin Qi swim among the flesh and bones, eventually returning to the ghost pupil, forming a cycle.
The ghost pupil slowly grows a tiny blood vessel, which increases the efficiency of absorbing the medicinal solution.
Master Taiyi approached the earthen jar and said with satisfaction: "Disciple, your spiritual pupils have derived Yin meridians, and you will be able to practice on your own from now on."
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
"When the spiritual pupil derives nine Yin meridians, you can try to upgrade your supernatural powers to innate."
The growth of ghost pupils in the weak ghost stage is mainly based on the nine blood vessels and yin veins. When it is perfected, it can go further with the corresponding magical objects.
At the time of the contract, Yang had already learned about the secret method for pupil ghosts to become evil ghosts. In the memory passed down by Master Taiyi, just the eyes of twelve different weak ghosts made his scalp numb.
He didn't want to think too much for the time being. Raising ghosts was not something that could be done overnight.
“Ah sneeze~~”
Master Taiyi sneezed, and all the earthen jars shattered one by one.
Yang He crawled out in embarrassment, with a skinny body and a patched Taoist robe that was also in tatters.
Seeing that it was getting brighter, Master Taiyi put away the alchemy furnace and left the ruined temple.
"Disciple, don't forget what I told you. It's almost time. You and I have to leave for Cailian Town so as not to miss this auspicious day."
"Disciple understands."
Yang He knew that no gift was given without reason, and he was probably Nezha's spare body.
He was just about to follow Master Taiyi when he suddenly heard a faint meow. He quickly turned around and rummaged through the remains of the earthen jar.
Meow~~
The black cat crawled out from the corner, its body exuding Yin Qi, and its eyes were blood red.
It had no life at all and rushed into Yang He's arms.
【Ghost-turned-tanuki】
[A civet cat that is still infected with Yin Qi is difficult to see at night and can sense the danger posed by ghosts. 】
Yang He gently stroked the black cat, whose body temperature was only slightly lower.
The rest of the living creatures in the main world have died in the earth altar. The black cat is half cat and half ghost, which can be used as an early warning.
"Just call you Heizi. Don't make any noise, otherwise I won't take you home."
Black Cat nodded spiritually.
Yang He hurriedly walked out of the ruined temple and limped straight after Taiyi Zhenren.
After walking a few steps, the black cat's claws scratched Yang He's waist, and a page of yellowed paper fell out of the torn Taoist robe.
The paper was extremely wrinkled and there were a few blood stains on it.
Yang He opened the paper and noticed that it was recorded by Zeng Daotong.
‘I got separated from my mother and it was Boss Zhang who took me in. But when I wanted to leave, Boss Zhang locked me in an earthen vat and raised me. ’
‘I’m so scared. Boss Zhang said that as long as he is kept in a tank, he will never grow up and will make a lot of money for him when he becomes a dwarf. ’
Yang He suddenly felt something was wrong and observed Taiyi Zhenren out of the corner of his eye.
He continued to read the contents of the paper, and inexplicable fear surged into his heart. There was a horrifying truth hidden on the paper.
‘Boss Zhang has grown a third arm, and he seems to have become another person. ’
The handwriting became more and more scrawled, showing the Taoist boy's panic when recording.
‘Boss Zhang put on a Taoist robe and claimed to be Master Taiyi from Jinguang Cave in Qianyuan Mountain. Boss Zhang went crazy. What should I do? ’
Yang He quickly stuffed it into his arms, suppressing his distracting thoughts and staring at Master Taiyi.
If what is recorded on the paper is true, then who is this person? Or to take a step back, if it is indeed Taiyi Zhenren.
So...
What kind of evil thing is Taiyi Zhenren?
