[Spirit: Shrinkage Talisman]
[Shrinking Mantra: One step at a time, the land will shrink by itself. Every time the mountains are flat, every time the water dries up, every time the trees break, every time the fire is extinguished, the land shrinks. I follow the law of Mr. Three Mountains and Nine Lords! 】
[Everywhere from one mile to the end of a hundred miles, take a liter of soil from both ends, spread it under the Liujia altar, write the four characters "one step for a thousand miles", step on the left foot the two characters "daotou", the right foot step on the two characters "ten thousand miles", and the left hand thunder
Seal, Sword Jue on the right hand, take a breath of Eastern Qi, recite the mantra seven times, burn the talisman once, and after forty-nine days, sweep the soil into the long flowing water. However, if you travel thousands of miles away, it will still work. If you move thousands of miles, you can arrive in one moment.

"I didn't expect that the magic that appeared in the Heart Temple was [Borrowing Ground to Increase Steps]. The technique of shrinking the ground is really good!"
Chu Chen suddenly felt very good.
Capturing this ninth-grade "white bone demon" increased his skill and revealed another spell.
This spell [Borrowing Ground and Adding Steps] is a simplified version of the legendary magical power [Shrinking Ground to an Inch].
Although it is not as mysterious and magical as "shrinking the earth into a foot", you can travel thousands of miles away in one step, escape from the world, and hide between heaven and earth.
However, it is still possible to shrink the land by taking one step at a time and making it a hundred steps at a time.
After cultivating to a high level and using [Borrowing Ground to Increase Steps], you can reach a place thousands of miles away in an hour.
In addition, the spell [Borrowing Ground and Adding Steps] is also extremely useful in fighting against demonic monks.
"One hundred steps at a time, the land shrinks in size", which is similar to "flash".
Once he has achieved success in cultivation, he can rely on [Borrowing Ground and Adding Steps] to display ghost body skills when fighting with others, moving around and avoiding many dangers.
Coupled with the inner-refined god general, the soldiers and horses in the urn, and the black tiger...Chu Chen's initial combat power has been formed.
If you want to fight, you have to fight, and if you want to save your life, you have to save your life. There are no obvious shortcomings, and the overall strength has suddenly been raised to a higher level.
The only pity is that Chu Chen will be "grounded" for protection by his master, Taoist Master Xu Ping. It is a pity that he cannot quarry the soil at both ends of the hundred miles to use for practicing magic.
After Master Xu Ping left, he and the kid were the only ones left in the courtyard, and the world suddenly became quiet.
The White Bone Lady, the ghosts and monsters, monsters and ghosts, all have nothing to do with him.
Intentionally or unintentionally, he broke the situation and made the greatest contribution within his ability. Whether he can defeat the "White Bone Lady" and this group of crazy monsters depends on the performance of the people above him.
Chu Chen's heart was as calm as water at this moment, and he felt quite leisurely.
Hide in the small building and become one, regardless of winter, summer, spring and autumn.
Chu Chen became interested and took out the "Qing Jing Sutra" from the bracelet fairy cave and recited it.
"The old man said: The great road is invisible, giving birth to the world; the great road is ruthless, moving the sun and the moon..."
Perhaps Chu Chen’s state of mind is in line with the true meaning of the Qingjing Sutra.
This time chanting sutras gave Chu Chen a new understanding.
Although there were no other strange phenomena such as "the ten gods of heaven supporting his body", "he chanted and upheld it without retreating, and his body soared into purple clouds", he did realize some of the true meaning of "quiet and inactive".
By calming one's desires, one's mind becomes calm; by clearing one's mind, one's spirit becomes clear.
Chu Chen gradually became "pure", his Taoist cultivation gradually sublimated, and his magic power became more and more pure.
"Thank you Mr. Chu for the rescue!"
After reciting the "Qing Jing Sutra", under the moonlight, a beautiful figure bowed to him, like a willow whistling on the bank.
Chu Chen put down the Taoist scriptures and turned around to take a look.
A girl of fourteen or fifteen years old held the hand of a little ghost boy. Her figure was as thin as a cloud of smoke.
"Senior brother, Sister Zhou is awake."
Chu Chen nodded slightly. On the way back to the city, he cast the watering spell and the food-sprinkling spell, and placed the little female ghost in the soul-raising jar. He expected that she would wake up.
"Little girl Zhou Xiaoyu, thank you so much for saving me!"
The girl bowed slightly again.
"Miss Xiaoyu, you don't have to be polite when it's your duty."
Chu Chen waved his hand and smiled. Zhou Shitou gave birth to a Xiaojia Biyu. This name was indeed chosen correctly.
Next, Chu Chen asked about the murder of the girl from the Zhou family.
It turned out that half a month ago, Zhou Xiaoyu was washing clothes by the stream, and accidentally saw a lame rabbit in the grass by the stream.
The rabbit is very fat and moves slowly.
The girl who was used to living a poor life in the countryside saw such a good thing and was not willing to miss it in vain, so she did not hesitate to pick up Huanyi's mallet and chase after her.
Not long after, the girl got her wish and caught the rabbit.
However, she chased too deep into an uninhabited wilderness, where she happened to encounter the Bone Demon.
This white-bone demon was being hunted by the Ghost and God Department of Yongxin County and even Guangping County. When she saw the girl chasing the rabbit, she killed the girl without saying a word and replaced her.
The girl died unjustly and turned into a ghost.
In order to better hide his identity, the Bone Demon did not eradicate the dead girl's soul, but subdued it so that he could better act and pretend to be a girl.
Later, the White Bone Demon received the mission of "killing Chu Chen" from the White Bone Empress, so he released the soul of the dead girl and used it as "bait"...
While Chu Chen and the girls from the Zhou family were chatting, the concierge and the Zhou family's couple also came to the courtyard.
Chu Chen conveniently used a secret technique to temporarily reveal Zhou Xiaoyu's ghost form, allowing the three members of the Zhou family to reunite.
"Daughter~wuwuwu, my good daughter..."
Parting between life and death, separation between heaven and man, the whole family burst into tears, and those who heard it were moved.
Chu Chen sighed, didn't say much, and walked away silently, letting the family reunite.
Not long after, the concierge, the Zhou family and his wife approached Chu Chen again.
"Let Miss Xiaoyu follow me?"
When Chu Chen heard that the concierge and the Zhou family were begging for mercy, he was a little shocked at first, but he soon felt relieved.
Those who have died in vain before their longevity has expired. They have not committed any major sins during their lifetimes and have not committed any murders after their death. Generally, it is not easy to directly redeem them.
Their longevity in this life has not yet expired, and their yang life will turn into yin life and continue to be left in the human world. This is why various places have established the City God's Underworld to manage ghosts.
The little ghost girl Zhou Xiaoyu falls into this category of ghosts who want to die in vain.
If nothing unexpected happens, she will live in the underworld of Xin'an City God, and will not be saved until her Yin life is exhausted.
The concierge and the Zhou family also know more or less.
They were worried that the little female ghost Zhou Xiaoyu would be living alone in Xin'an Underworld, lonely and bullied.
Only then did he think of letting the little female ghost follow him, and the rest of his ghost life would be settled.
Chu Chen understood that the Zhou family and his wife were eager to love their daughter, but he did not agree:
"People and ghosts are on different paths, so it is inconvenient for Miss Xiaoyu to follow me, but don't worry, I will say hello to the Xin'an Underworld, and I will not let Miss Xiaoyu be bullied underground."
"Master Chu, you are trying to fool me. The little ghost is also a ghost, but he is with you every day." The concierge was unconvinced. He was born in the military and was not an ignorant farmer. He knew that it was common for mages to raise ghosts.
, this statement is too perfunctory.
Chu Chen shook his head and explained:
"I am a cultivator. If ordinary ghosts do not have cultivation in me and stay with me, their lifespan will be shortened. It will not be good for little girl Xiaoyu. The little ghost is my master's ghost pet. If he has cultivation in his body, it can be regarded as practicing.
We are human beings, so we have no taboos. Ordinary ghosts are absolutely forbidden.”
The kid on the side also nodded in agreement: "My senior brother is right, Sister Xiaoyu doesn't have any evil spirits in her body. If she stays with senior brother and master for a long time, she will lose her soul!"
When the concierge, the Zhou family and his wife heard what the little ghost said, they all looked disappointed.
"Master Chu, hehe, please help me go to Chenghuang's underworld to say hello and take care of Xiaoyu. This girl has a hard life..."
The concierge sincerely begs for help.
Chu Chen nodded slightly: "Don't worry, Xin'an City God will definitely give my master some face, don't worry."
