Chapter 48: Wandering Faith in the Dharma
“Old...Master...you are back...”
Guo Shan, who had received a message from Chu Tai a long time ago, looked very surprised when he saw him returning with a changed appearance. Happy, he hurried to Chu Tai and asked.
"Master... next... shall we... continue to work... or... stay... here for a while?"
"The chores have been taken care of. When the sun sets, we will leave directly. Okay, go ahead and prepare.”
As Chu Tai returned to his original appearance of a short middle-aged man, he took out the Seven Yin Transformation Banners and randomly drew a Tai Chi Bagua diagram on the ground. He stepped into a step and fought, the Sanqing bell rang, and invisible sound waves spread to the surroundings. There are many birds in the forest.
When the sky darkened, Chu and Tai drove the remaining corpses away from the clouds and over a hilltop. A crow stopped on the treetops on the roadside as they advanced.
Chu Tai said that he needed to explore the atmosphere here. Guo Shan nodded and stopped at the edge, watching Chu Tai silently deduce something.
There was a faint black light in the eyes of the crow on the treetop. The moment Chu Tai raised his head and looked at it, a sound that ordinary people could not hear came into Chu Tai's ears.
‘Call me with the summoning spell. When did you take in my energy? ’
‘My eyes are sharper than ordinary people. The last time I saw you, I had already recorded your breath. ’
Chu Tai’s answer surprised Ya Chaoxi.
'I have heard that some people who are good at taking photos can use accessories that can reflect people's figures to capture their popularity, but I have never heard of anyone being able to take photos of the person they see. of magic. It seems that you have practiced an incredible pupil technique. ’
‘Stop saying these polite words, I came to you today to know, do you know that Wang Lan is likely to join forces with Hanba? ’
Chu Tai deliberately exaggerated and secretly observed Wu Chaoxi’s reaction.
The wings suddenly opened, and the crow fairy whose feathers exploded screamed. The harsh crow made Guo Shan couldn't help but look over.
In Guo Shan's impression, crows are birds of mixed quality, but when encountered when driving corpses, they are usually regarded as an ominous sign. He looked at Chu Tai.
"Master...do you want...I'll drive it away..."
"Ignore it."
Chu Tai responded casually on his face, but secretly he was still talking to Wu Communicate day and night.
‘It seems you don’t know. ’
‘What do I know? Are you telling the truth? ’
‘You didn’t receive any news at all? Wang Lan hasn't been in contact with other monks recently? ’
Facing Chu Tai’s doubts, Wu Chaoxi, who urgently needed to know the specific situation, cursed.
‘What do I know? Wang Lan is very guarded against me. There are not many crows or even birds within ten miles of his house. How can I find out the news? As for contacting other monks...’
Wu Chaoxi suddenly fell silent, as if thinking of something. After a while, he slowly spoke.
'About three months ago, a monk from Jin came and entered the Wang family, but he didn't stay long, and that was the only time, so I didn't pay much attention to it. Wait, Jin State? Drought? You're not talking about the guy from seven years ago, are you? That guy is coming! '
Looking at Wu Chaoxi, who was about to turn into fluffy carbon balls, Chu Tai narrowed his eyes slightly and asked about the monk's situation again.
‘I’m not sure. I noticed him at the time because he had a corpse energy entrenched in him. I thought he was a monk practicing corpse refining. Now it seems that this guy is not a corpse cultivator himself. ’
After confirming that the other party was not lying, Chu Taicai explained the beginning and end of the matter clearly.
After hearing the cause and effect, Wu Chaoxi breathed a sigh of relief and complained to Chu Tai. 'I thought it was a big deal, but it turns out it's just...'
Chu Tai didn't give Wu Chaoxi a chance to finish what he said, and interrupted directly.
‘But what? It's as if you and I have magical powers that are much better than that of fellow Taoist Hanshang. If the other party can defeat fellow Taoist Hanshang and seriously injure him, he will naturally be able to defeat you and me. ’
‘Now you don’t want to find its origin and think about ways to restrain it? Is it possible that we should wait until we confront Wang Lan before thinking about possible problems? ’
'To put it harshly, in this matter, the biggest influence is on you and the head of the Liu family. If something goes wrong, the worst I can do is retreat to another country, practice hard for three or four years, refine two magic weapons, and then come back to find them. Place. ’
‘But can you? Wang Lan is able to live to this day, and many of his abilities and magical powers are closely related to you, and you can't escape them. '
The Crow Immortal didn't know how to respond to Chu Tai's words. He also knew that Chu Tai's words were true. If things really developed to that point, it would definitely die. The momentum immediately dissipated, and some Nuonuo answer.
‘What do you want me to do? '
'I want to know the specific situation of the Wang family and all the villages near the Wang family, as well as the situation of the baby tower and the cemetery. If you can determine the information of the two places in a short time, you can expand the scope of exploration and cover the entire south of Chu State. are included in the scope of exploration. ’
‘If they really want to cause something big, the earth’s veins and earth’s energy cannot be avoided. ’
‘When we can’t determine their thoughts, we can only use this stupid method to find them everywhere. ’
‘This matter is very difficult for most mortals, because the mountain road is difficult to walk, the location is difficult to find, and it is even more difficult to get there. '
'But you are a crow spirit and have become a ghost fairy. You are born with the ability to sense similar auras. With a little thought, you can see the aura of life and death by attaching to ordinary birds. , the most suitable. ’
The crow controlled by Wu Chaoxi nodded, indicating that he understood the work content.
‘Okay, I will tell you the situation of the Wang family and its surroundings tomorrow, but I need enough time to collect the entire southern Chu State, and it will take half a month at the fastest. ’
Chu Tai was a little surprised at Wu Chaoxi’s control over the Wang family area, but he thought it was normal.
While he told Wu Chaoxi to collect information in other places in detail, he stood up and continued moving forward with Guo Shan.
Looking at Guo Shan’s back disappearing, the light in the pupils of the crow on the treetop gradually dissipated.
The next day, Chu Tai, who learned the relevant information from Crow Fairy's mouth, began to intentionally teach some methods for zombies and controlling corpse energy in some places during his subsequent travels.
Moreover, Chu Tai also sent a letter to Liu Peiyu, asking him to help disseminate several deeds related to him, together with several local stories, mixed with some stories about dealing with diseases and zombie transformations.
Let the folklore that originally took more time to spread, change, integrate, and finally take shape begin to take shape faster.
In the process of the intertwining of names such as the Lantern Holder Water Master, Zaohuo Dengxian, Midu Fire God, Lingban Yin God, etc., Chu Tai also felt the connection between himself and this land, and gradually touched it. [Wandering Scholar] The ability to turn local legends into spells is at its limit.
‘[Wandering Scholar] The essence of the ability to create magic is earth, faith, and law. ’
Chu Tai stretched out his hand and sensed the inexplicable power in the void.
‘Earth means place, region, and earth line, faith means faith, belief, and willingness, and law is the concrete manifestation of the two condensed and formed with my help. Tracing back to the roots, my Dharma is a seed, planted in the corresponding area, watered and shaped by the will of the people living there, turning it into a power unique to this area. '
'Theoretically speaking, in the corresponding region, my power will be continuously improved, but this improvement will gradually affect my connection with this land invisibly, and ultimately let me Unable to leave, becoming an existence similar to an earthly fairy...'
'So, this is the meaning of [Wandering]? ’
