Searching for the best path, starting from Renjia Town

Chapter 113: Twenty-Four Mountains Dragon Hunting Technique Soul-Guiding Curse

Shi Jian's Taoist power has been completely destroyed and he has been punished by the ancestor, but his crimes cannot be wiped out. He will be taken to Maoshan to await the decision of Master Xuanyi.

To be on the safe side, they were personally escorted by several Taoist masters with great skills, including Uncle Jiu, Taoist Simu, and Zhe Gu.

On the eve of departure, Uncle Jiu called Li Kunshan into the house.

"Kunshan, while I'm away, you'll stay in Renjia Town and take care of it."

"Take care of?"

Li Kunshan blinked his eyes, looking curious.

"Master, what's so special about Renjia Town that makes you so nervous?"

"Didn't I tell you before?"

"No."

"I thought I'd told you before. Actually, it's not a secret. You've been ordained, so you're qualified to know."

Uncle Jiu scratched the corner of his mouth and spoke directly.

"Ying Miao Heying, one of the Huizhen Xuantan, is in Renjia Town."

"Meet the True Altar?"

Li Kunshan opened his eyes wide, looking surprised.

"The Thirty Altars of Huizhen established by the first generation of Zhang Tianshi!"

"if not."

Uncle Jiu nodded, looking calm.

The so-called altar is the place where Taoists worship the heavens and issue orders. Originally, there was no fixed location and they were built temporarily according to needs. Later, Zhang Daoling founded the Tianshi Dao and established 30 Huizhen altars.

Named: Lingzhen Yingmiao, Lingying Tongzhen, Yingmiao Heying, Sanjie Jishen...

Unlike the four major altars located in various sects, only the Longhu Mountain Wanfa Altar was retained, and the thirty Huizhen altars were distributed throughout the country.

But Li Kunshan didn't expect that one of them was actually in Renjia Town.

"That's not right. I've been in Renjia Town for so long, but I've never seen any altar before."

"Of course you can't see it anymore. Things from a thousand or two thousand years ago would have been worn away by wind and rain, not to mention human damage."

"And you said..."

“Although the buildings above ground have been worn away, the foundations underground are still there!”

Uncle Jiu's expression suddenly became stern and he explained.

"Contrary to what outsiders know, the Thirty Altars of Huizhen are not simply a place to cast spells, but are also the key to suppressing thirty evil spirits in the world!"

"Suppress the evil spirits?"

Li Kunshan's face was full of surprise again, and he suddenly reacted.

"I remember now. No wonder I saw so much evil energy pouring out. It turned out to be coming from under the altar."

"good."

Uncle Jiu nodded, his face serious.

"Shi Jian established the Zombie Alliance and raised zombies, which wasn't a big deal originally. After all, there were many people in Zhengyi who controlled zombies. However, he resorted to any means necessary to refine the zombies, allowing his men to commit murderous acts, even destroying the Huizhen Altar and releasing evil spirits to refine the zombies. As a Zhengyi disciple, I absolutely cannot tolerate him."

"Damn it! If I had known earlier, I would have killed him with a bolt of lightning. But it would have been too easy for him to lose his skills."

Li Kunshan curled his lips, his face full of regret.

He wasn't just pretending, he really felt it was a pity. With Shi Jian's level of skill, if he killed him, he might be able to directly reveal the orange entry!

Unfortunately, I was indecisive for a moment.

Although Shi Jian's Taoism was reduced, the incident happened suddenly. If Li Kunshan had added a heavenly thunder and just said it was a miss, his master and others probably would not blame him.

But then again, if Shi Jian, who has lost his Taoism, is killed, can he still drop advanced attributes?

"Whether Shi Jian should die or not is up to your master to decide. It's not something we can decide on our own."

Uncle Jiu glanced at Li Kunshan and continued.

"Now that the Huizhen Altar in Renjia Town has been destroyed, even though my fellow disciples and I have cast spells, we can't compare to the all-powerful divine powers of the first generation Zhang Tianshi. It's only temporarily maintained and is extremely unstable, with the evil spirit still leaking out. Therefore, until I return and completely repair the Huizhen Altar, you must stay in Renjia Town, be vigilant, and avoid any chaos!"

"I see."

Li Kunshan nodded, also with a serious expression.

If these evil spirits were to come into contact with an ordinary person, they would at best become ill or even die. However, if they were absorbed by evil spirits, their ferocity would increase greatly and become a disaster.

Although most of it has been blocked, the evil energy is still leaking out. It can be foreseen that Renjia Town will be in turmoil during this period.

However, Li Kunshan was quite happy about it. He would kill as many evil spirits as possible, and the more he killed, the more entries he would get!
"Master, when will you be back?"

"It's hard to say. It might take a month at the fastest, or three or four months at the slowest. Some of the materials needed to repair the Huizhen Altar are quite rare. Even if we return to Maoshan, your master will have to find a way to sell them."

Uncle Jiu pondered for a moment and then continued.

"By the way, during this period of time, if anyone comes to me for feng shui or rituals, please go there for me. I don't want all the clients to run away when I'm away for a while."

"Master, you are so calculating. I am here to help you maintain your clients, but what about my clients in Hehuan Town?"

"You've only been in Hehuan Town for a short time, how many regular customers do you have? If they all leave, just start over. You're still young, so you should be brave enough to start over. What are you afraid of?"

"Haha, I think that at your age, Master, it's time for you to make some breakthroughs. There's no need to be chained to death in Renjia Town."

"Okay, all the income will belong to you."

"That's pretty much it."

"It's almost there. I can't let you ruin my reputation."

Uncle Jiu thought for a moment and continued.

"Well, I'll teach you a Feng Shui skill and a soul-calling spell!"

"Thank you Master!"

Li Kunshan opened his eyes wide with joy and immediately thanked him.

The Dharma cannot be passed on easily, even between a master and his disciples it cannot be taught all at once.

If I can acquire these two skills, it would be worth it even if I help Uncle Jiu look after the household for a year.

"Hurry up, let's get started right away."

We are going to set off tomorrow. Uncle Jiu looked serious and started teaching immediately.

It would be difficult for an ordinary person to learn a talisman in just one night, let alone feng shui techniques.

But Li Kunshan is not an ordinary person.

Uncle Jiu knew Li Kunshan's level of understanding very well, so he only reserved one night for him.

A few hours later.

【Learn the Twenty-Four Mountain Dragon Hunting Technique! 】

【Learn the Soul-Guiding Spell! 】

As the system prompt sounded, Li Kunshan had already learned these two methods.

It is worth mentioning that in addition to the three major columns of skills, spells, and miscellaneous studies, there is also a column of numerology on the personal page.

Come to think of it, how could the myriad great ways know anything about kung fu and talismans? Li Kunshan still has a lot to learn and explore.

"Dragon-hunting technique?"

After taking a look at the name, Li Kunshan couldn't help but smile. What does it have to do with The Lost Tomb?
"Whether it's summoning a soul or sending it away, you can do it by performing rituals and using the soul-calling spell."

After teaching all night, seeing that the sky outside the window was already turning white, Uncle Jiu stretched his sore waist and then brought two large stacks of books.

"Most of these are books related to Feng Shui. There's also one that contains instructions for casting and setting up an altar for the Soul-Calling Spell. Take a good look at it when you have time."

"Yes, thank you Master."

Li Kunshan took it and flipped through a few books.

The Book of Burial, the Golden Chamber of Geomancy, the Book of Shaking the Dragon, the Book of Burial with a Reverse Staff, etc. are all good books and classics.

In the information-rich future, this might not seem like much, but in this day and age, it's truly precious. If Li Kunshan thoroughly reads these books, combined with the Twenty-Four Mountain Dragon-Seeking Technique taught by Uncle Jiu, he could practically be considered a Feng Shui master.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Uncle Jiu and others escorted Shi Jian to set off.

"Why is he coming too?"

Surprisingly, in addition to Taoist Simu, Zhe Gu and others, there was also Mao Shanming in the team.

When he saw Mao Shanming, Qiu Sheng frowned and became extremely angry.

"You didn't show up when we were fighting hard before, and now that we're done you show up again."

"Brother Qiu Sheng, you can't say that. It's important for people to know their own limitations. If I had shown up at the time, with my limited abilities, not only would I not have been able to help, but I would have hindered you. By not showing up, I was actually helping you."

"嘁~!"

Qiu Sheng rolled his eyes in disdain and asked again in a bad mood.

"My master and his friends are going to Mount Mao, why are you following them?"

"Actually, I, Maoshan Ming, oh no, I, Ah Ming, have long been fascinated by the Maoshan Sect, but I just haven't found a place to join. This time, I went with Uncle Jiu and the others to pay a visit to the headmaster, hoping to truly join Maoshan."

"In your dreams!"

"Even if I can't become a true disciple, being a registered disciple will be fine."

"I see you..."

"Okay, stop talking."

Uncle Jiu shouted softly, stopping the two men and then turned to Li Kunshan.

"By the way, I've decided to reincarnate the two little ghosts that Mao Shanming brought with him. I've kept them in the Ghost Sealing Hall. On the night of the Double Ninth Festival, when the heavenly soldiers and generals on duty have their day off, you can use the heavenly path to send them back to their hometown. Then the local ghost officials will arrest them, and they can be reincarnated."

"The Double Ninth Festival is still more than a month away. Master, why are you going to be gone for so long?"

Wencai blinked, then became puzzled again.

"And why do you have to send the ghosts back to their hometown first? Master, can't you just call the ghost messenger to take them away?"

"What do you know? Ghost officers are divided into different areas. If the ghost officers I call here detain souls from other places, how will their performance be calculated then?"

"Tsk, even the ghost messenger has so many twists and turns."

"Where there are people, there are intrigues."

"There are no people in the underworld, only ghosts."

"Ghosts are transformed from humans too! Okay, no more words, let's go."

Without saying anything more, Uncle Jiu gave a light shout and set off with everyone else.

"Take care on your journey, Master!"

Li Kunshan and the others kept waving and watched them walk ten meters away. Then they turned back to the charity cemetery and slammed the door shut.

Uncle Jiu rolled his eyes helplessly. These brats were really loyal and righteous.

"Master is not here."

"No, it's Master who left home. You're saying that as if Master is dead."

"Stop talking nonsense and go listen to the opera."

Qiu Sheng put his arm around Wencai's shoulders and called out to Li Kunshan.

"Junior brother! Do you want to join us?"

"No, you go ahead."

Li Kunshan smiled, then turned around and went back to his room.

"Tsk, that's really boring."

"Yes, I feel like Junior Brother and Master are becoming more and more alike."

"Never mind him, let's go."

Qiu Sheng and Wencai walked out of the charity cemetery excitedly while talking.

After the two men left, there was no one else in the charity cemetery except the ghosts in the Ghost Sealing Hall. After all, ghosts are not human beings.

The entire charity cemetery fell silent in an instant. Li Kunshan sat cross-legged in the room, refining his Qi and transforming his spirit.

During the time when Uncle Jiu was away, he was ordered to defend Renjia Town. When he had nothing to do, he would of course continue to practice.

Li Kunshan thought about it and decided to focus on refining Qi and transforming it into spirit, while also practicing the soul-guiding spell. In his spare time, he would read the Huangting Neijing Sutra.

In contrast, he was not in a hurry to learn the Twenty-Four Mountain Dragon Hunting Technique, as he had just learned it. If he was really bored, he could look up books like the Burial Sutra. After all, Feng Shui was not something that could be used in a fight.

As a "military faction", Li Kunshan is more concerned about improving his combat effectiveness.

As for why we need to continue to improve the Huangting Inner Scenery Sutra, although we have already obtained the method of refining qi and transforming it into spirit, according to the experience of the Outer Scenery Sutra, once it is upgraded to the sixth level, it will be of great help to derive supernatural powers.

Maybe, it is also similar to the method of taking medicine, which can improve the spirit by eating. If that is the case, it will be much faster than practicing day and night.

Sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. It is necessary to set aside some time to practice the Inner Scene Sutra and reach the sixth level as soon as possible.

Next, Li Kunshan practiced every day according to the plan.

A month passed in a flash.

I originally thought that because of the evil spirit escaping from the Huizhen Altar, many evil spirits would breed, but I didn't expect that Renjia Town would be quite peaceful in this month.

Could it be that the commotion some time ago was too loud, and the evil spirits also knew that there was trouble with the Taoist priest in Renjia Town, so they didn't dare to come?
"It's done!"

That night, Li Kunshan was refining his Qi and transforming his spirit as usual, when he suddenly opened his eyes with excitement on his face.

Hard work pays off, and I finally reach the second level of spiritual training!

"Hoo~!"

Li Kunshan took a long breath, calmed himself down, and began to sense the state of the second level of spiritual training.

The so-called training of spirit is different from training of qi which simply increases the amount of qi. It is actually refining the spirit, refining away the yin attributes in the spirit and leaving only the yang attributes.

When you reach the ninth level, when the yin is exhausted and the yang is pure, you can become a Yang God!

At that time, the mind will wander in the void, no longer restricted by the physical body.

"good."

Compared with the first level, the second level of spiritual training has a much reduced Yin attribute of the soul, and a higher proportion of Yang attribute. Therefore, the soul becomes more resilient.

As a derivative energy of the primordial spirit, divine consciousness also becomes increasingly powerful.

Li Kunshan nodded. With his current spiritual power, if he used the puppet talisman to control a hundred peach wood swords, it would be easy, and the range could reach a thousand meters.

From this point of view alone, it is completely different from before.

After he understood everything, Li Kunshan showed a satisfied smile.

"Fusion."

Having just made a breakthrough, there is no need to rush to practice immediately. Relax first, open your personal page and give instructions directly.

In addition to the purple entries, I also got a dozen white entries from killing some small fry in the previous battle with the Zombie Alliance.

Li Kunshan was too lazy to make detailed divisions and just merged them all at once.

【Fusion completed! 】

[Gain new items: Plate Ribs and Twisted Reinforcements (Blue) and Steel Bones (Blue)! ]

"These again."

Seeing the system prompt, Li Kunshan curled his lips, thinking it was nothing new.

But it’s true, these terms all come from zombies, and most of them are related to physique.

In fact, compared to ghosts, zombies accounted for the vast majority of the evil spirits killed by Li Kunshan, so there are particularly many entries related to physical strength.

Heaven Rewards Diligence (Gold), His Blood is Dark Yellow (Orange), Gluttonous Stomach (Orange), Head Reattached (Orange), Inner Spirit (Purple), Lightning Rod (Purple), Heart to Soul (Purple), Disease Eater (Purple), Corpse Whisperer (Blue), Treasure Master (Blue), Ribs and Tendons (Blue), Bones of Steel (Blue)
"Also."

Li Kunshan took a quick look and without thinking any more, he took a deep breath and continued to refine his Qi and transform his spirit.

Breaking through the second level of Shen Lian is worth celebrating, but the second level is not Li Kunshan’s goal, he wants to produce Yang Shen!
