Chapter 41 Searching for relatives and seeing the broken bones
Late at night, in the dark woods, through the mottled shadows of the trees, I saw the bright moon hanging high in the sky, quiet and pale, not like a jade plate, but like a will-o'-the-wisp.
“Dingling bells, bells, bells…”
“Yin people go on the road, strangers avoid…”
The sound of bells that never stops, and the faint sound of The shouts echoed in the woods, which should have created a rather strange scene.
The low male voice has a strange charm, giving people an inexplicable sense of security.
He walked in front holding the Seven Yin Transformation Flag in one hand and the Sanqing Bell in the other. Every step he took would leave a small light spot on the ground.
Behind him was a long row of jumping figures. Looking closely, there were thirty-four corpses driven by magic.
At the end of these corpses, the tall Guo Shan was carrying a huge coffin. While throwing paper money, he followed the light spots left by Chu Tai and moved forward with mysterious steps.
With every step, the surface of the scattered paper money ignited with a green light, like a will-o'-the-wisp or fluorescent light, and wisps of white smoke rose up and dispersed into the surroundings.
Many lonely ghosts trapped in the mountains bowed to Chu and Tai. Every time they were worshiped, the energy of the dead bodies in Guo Shan's body became thicker.
Chu Tai, who was watching from the front, nodded secretly, silently calculating in his mind what Guo Shan would learn next.
"Although I am diligent, it is a pity that my soul is lacking and my wisdom is not obvious. It took me two months to learn the Nine Palaces and Bagua, and I have only begun to memorize the "Ji Tu Tong Netherworld Nourishment Method", which will be followed later. There is also the method of "returning the sun-stealing essence to oneself and transforming into yin". Once these methods are mastered, everything will be on track."
Chu Tai glanced at the coffin on Guo Shan's back again.
Unlike the corpses following Chu Tai, the coffins contained incomplete corpses.
During his travels in the past, no matter what kind of corpse Chu Tai encountered, he would at most let it be laid to rest and add a verse to it.
But now, for the sake of Guo Shan's cultivation, Chu Tai can only do some stupid things and return to his hometown with these corpses.
And this process of driving away and carrying corpses is one of the keys to Guo Shan’s future sublimation of Jiuyuan Tomb Qi.
After all, this true Qi is named Guigen Jiuyuan, which already expresses the concept of its essential core.
Behaviors such as chasing corpses and carrying corpses back to their roots are invisibly consistent with the concept of true energy, or they can obtain some needed vitality in advance to reduce the difficulty of sublimation in the future.
According to Chu Tai's calculation, as long as Guo Shan's true energy is successfully sublimated, he will use the "Ji Tu Tongyou Nian Shen Method" to nourish the yin soil, warm and nourish the soul, and cooperate with the "Sun Stealing Essence Return to Oneself to Transform Yin Method" to collect yang energy, neutralize yin energy, and become rational. You can recover most of it.
Chu Tai will send him back to Hezhong Village, and most of the debt he owes the Guo family and his wife will be repaid.
‘However, before that, I have to take him to bring back the bones of his parents. ’
Thinking of this, Chu Tai looked towards the hillside ahead.
'Guo Shan's mother died of illness near here. Not long after I buried her with her father, he also left because of overwork. Shortly after I buried her husband and wife together, they were buried there. Bian met Tianmen Shenjun. ’
Chu Tai looked at the foot of another big tree, and in a daze he saw the skinny child who was grabbed by Tianmen Shenjun.
Closing his eyes slightly, Chu Tai calmed down and was about to call Guo Shan to meet his parents when the Sanqing Bell in his hand suddenly stopped.
The light of the sun and moon flowed in his pupils. Chu Tai saw that the mark he had left had been pushed down. Guo Shan's mother's bones were exposed, and his father's bones were missing.
Stepping forward cautiously, Chu Tai looked at the scattered wreckage, less than a third of it, and couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"Master...what's wrong? I...are we...where are we?"
Later, when Guo Shan saw no light spots on the ground, he thought he had reached his destination and ran forward a little excitedly. Seeing the exposed bones, Guo Shan froze on the spot.
Due to the special nature of the Qi he cultivated, he knew the origin of the bones the moment he saw them.
My mouth, which was already awkward, now looks like it is knotted.
"Old...old...old...master, what is...what's going on...is this my mother..."
Facing Guo Shan's inquiry, Chu Tai couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
For a moment, he felt that at the beginning of his wandering, it would be better not to worry about Tianmen Shenjun ambushing him here, but to worship him once.
Of course, these thoughts passed by in a flash. He has memories of past lives and does not care so much about the remains of people after death.
As for the sacrifice of souls, according to the records of the Jinhua Sect's classics, as long as they have a specific impression and know the name of the other party, for monks who have cultivated Zhenqi, it is the same wherever they perform sacrifices.
What's more, it took at least two years for the bones in front of him to be dug out. No matter how early he came, he couldn't be there before it happened.
The only good thing is that this time point also allowed Chu Tai to judge that the accident of the skeleton had nothing to do with Tianmen Shenjun.
Kneel down and take the Taiyi Changming Lamp, your mind falls into the light of the lamp, and you use the method of transforming into a god to transform into a Wen Lingguan.
As one of the four great spiritual officials, a being born from earthly ghosts and gods, Wen Lingguan was once the head of the divine generals subordinate to Lord Dongyue Mansion, and the first eunuch among the ten eunuchs of Dongyue. Among the officials, he is best at tracing the whereabouts of the dead.
"Tian Ding, Tian Ding, hastily descended to channel the spirit. Wen sent Taibao to punish the divine soldiers. Dongyue is in trouble, so hurry up and follow it!"
Chu Taixian used the method of summoning as his method. The Wen Lingguan who turned into a god himself gave blessings, and then made a secret to change the spell.
"The troops are marching in the sky, thundering and lightning...the underground orders are spread in all directions...clearly aware of humanity, search carefully. Urgent like laws and orders!"
As soon as the curse came out, auras of light flew around, and Wen Lingguan The divine power intertwined, and following the aura remaining on the bones, Chu Tai could vaguely see some traces of digging graves and dumping corpses that day.
“East!”
He stretched out his hand and drew a circle in the air. Chu Tai took the remaining breath and took out a compass with his backhand to seal it inside.
Looking back at the sad Guo Shan, at this time he just shouted "Ahhhhh" and temporarily lost the ability to speak.
Chu Tai couldn't help but speak to comfort him.
"I have found the scent of the person who destroyed your mother's remains. Let's collect her bones now, and then go find that person."
Hearing this, Guo Shan stopped crying. He took out the incense burner and the prepared sacrifices from the coffin.
Wisps of green smoke rise, the incense ashes in the furnace fall, and the power of wishes turns into bits of golden sand, surrounding the bones. While washing away the bad luck, it relies on blood connections to connect with the souls who have fallen into the underworld.
Guo Shan carefully put away his mother's bones and walked towards the east following the guidance of the compass in Chu Tai's hand.
On the way, in order to help Guo Shan calm down, Chu Tai still left a light spot under his feet.
But compared to the previous time, Guo Shan's aura was much gloomier at this time, and he stepped on the wrong position several times.
He often forgets to spill the paper money in his hand, which makes many of the gathered ghosts confused. Some of the anxious ones even bump into him, causing the aura on his body to fluctuate.
Seeing this scene, Chu Tai could only help by chanting pure scriptures orally and causing changes in the surrounding breath.
