"The Five Elements Taoism is indeed mysterious, but the consumption of mana makes people feel a little painful..."
It sensed the mana in the body and flew thousands of miles, but the loss was about 34%, which is really regrettable.
Based on the current mana estimate, if you just use the Earth Escape Technique, you can travel almost three to four hundred thousand miles, and the consumption does not seem to be much.
However, after Liu Qiao's research, this kind of mana will not recover on its own. Once it is consumed, it is consumed. You must practice hard for a long time before you can get the mana back again.
"No wonder those gods in the previous life never used Taoism in fights if they could use martial arts. They only used spells when they couldn't win in martial arts. They worked hard to cultivate their magic power. Once it is used up, winning or losing is not worth it..."
Looking at the Chinese gods, this is indeed the case. They value harmony. If you can avoid fighting, avoid it. If you can tolerate it, tolerate it. If you take a step back, the world is brighter. After all, in a battle of magic, if you use a great magical power, your decades of practice may be wasted.

"However, it is said that the Immortal Book on the Jade Board says that human beings are the genius of all things and are born with nine orifices and eight holes. Eating people can prolong life. Especially for those who are smart, upright, and talented in literature, one human life can be worth several months of hard work..."
"No wonder some heretics dare to commit murderous fights if they don't agree with each other. They are not afraid of consuming a lot of mana. They can eat people easily to replenish their hard work. Who would still practice hard in a cave..."
In fact, heretics don't just go beyond cannibalism. Smart people will use people as medicine, add lead and mercury metals to refine the golden elixir, and eat one pill to extend your life for thousands of years.
There are also terms here: virgins are called maidens, women are called Yuannu, placentas are called Ziheche, boys are called Yuanying, strong men are called Chaixin, old men are called green lead, and old women are called silver mercury.
"The Immortal Book on the Jade Board was written by the Grandmaster himself. It says that heretics have green faces, fangs, loose hair and bare feet, wear hair and drink blood, wear hairbands, open their chests and abdomens, dress up in weird ways, and mostly live on the smoky islands..."
"It sounds very much like the Jiejiao Immortals in the Conferred Gods... If so, maybe Master has been prejudiced against them for a long time..."
He shook his head, these are just his own guesses, the thoughts of a person with great supernatural powers, and he, a lowly little immortal, has never seen it with his own eyes, so what he can think is whatever the ancestor said, that's all.
…
A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and Liu Qiao kept going back and forth on Tudun to the foot of the mountain, purchasing various items and preparing to refine the talismans.
Until the evening of this day, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse in the sky. On top of the golden summit in the mountain, an altar had been erected, with a radius of a hundred feet and numerous flags and flags.
The flag is made of brocade and silk, divided into five colors. It is about 10 feet wide, with various kinds of fierce gods and strange beasts painted on it. It is hung on wooden posts as thick as a bowl and flutters in the wind. There are twenty-eight sides in total.
The flags are cut from yellow cloth and have cinnabar talismans written on them. They are two feet wide and one foot, three feet and two inches long. They are supported by bamboo poles. There are thirty-six banners in total.
There is a platform in the center, which is about ten feet wide and three feet high. It has edges and corners and is in the shape of a trigram. There are wooden steps on it and a brazier on the four corners.
On the altar are the three ancestors, and below are the three animals, incense candles, oil lamps, melon and fruit offerings, Dharma water, nectar, willow branches, wooden swords, ink pens, a stack of yellow talismans, and various magical instruments. There is no need to mention them.
"The elves and elves, whose names I don't know, teach the ghosts who come to my altar and court. Those who obey me will be lucky, and those who go against me will be unlucky. They will assist me to achieve enlightenment and help me achieve reality..."
Liu Qiao held a knife in his hair, danced a sword in his hand, chanted incantations, and walked around the altar with a very strange pace.
This is ordinary, but it is called "Bu Gang Step Fighting". It is actually a crude dance. It is a legacy of ancient wizards and is used to worship gods. Taoists call it "Yu Bu" or "Bu Gang".
The spell had a very strange tone, like a country tune or slang in a dream. The sound was high and low, and combined with the "whooshing" wind all around, it really gave off a weird and inexplicable feeling of terror.
"Huh...huh..."
Accompanying the chanting of the mantra, there were sudden gloomy winds and hazy haze. However, within a few breaths, the surroundings of the altar were covered by thick fog, and no one could see his fingers.
When Liu Qiao saw the numerous shadows in the mist, he did not panic or fear at all. He continued to fight on foot and step, chanting spells repeatedly to attract more black shadows.
"Wuwu...ang...ah...kill..."
In the fog, there were strange screams one after another, some were wailing, some were shouting and killing, and some were mourning and crying. They were all different and chaotic.
After a while, the chanting of incantations stopped, and the black shadows in the fog became silent for a moment, and then the howlers rushed toward the stage.
"Hey..."
When Liu Qiao saw this, he shouted loudly, struck the five thunder seals with his hand, and hit the bill with a "clang". The ghosts in the audience were frightened, and they retreated and did not dare to come forward.
There was silence all around, except for ghosts and shadows. Liu Qiao chanted the mantra, secretly blessed the Dharma water for a minute, filled the water with willow branches and sprinkled it on the altar.
I could see the mist whizzing down and being stained with ghostly shadows. Those shadows became more solid when they were there. The resentment on my body was gradually swept away, and my expression gradually returned to clarity, revealing a happy look.
"Soldiers follow the seal, march with the flag, listen to orders quickly, and surpass the fire edict and surpass the spirit. If you don't obey the order, thunder, axe, and ax will be imposed on you..."
Liu Qiao stretched out his hand and pointed. A large charcoal pool about ten feet wide below the stage suddenly burst into flames. He recited incantations and made incantations, forcing the ghosts into the fire for refining.
"Ah...Mage, spare your life..."
The ghosts burned their bodies in fierce fire, all wailing in pain, and white mist steaming from their bodies. Regardless of whether they wanted to or not, they were forcibly washing away all their resentment.
This method, which Taoists call "water and fire refining", can cleanse karma, sweep away grievances, wish ghosts to ascend to heaven, directly ascend to heavenly beings, and become immortal from now on, which is what countless lonely souls and wild ghosts dream of.
In a short while, there were hundreds of ghosts. They all passed through the water and fire. Their souls were clear and transparent. They kowtowed one after another and said, "Thank you, Master, for your refinement and promotion. I wonder where the Master summoned someone to use it?"
Liu Qiao's face was filled with joy, knowing that the magic was about to be completed, so he paraphrased it according to "Qi Men Dun Jia": "Maybe he wants to escape from life and death and ascend to the position of an immortal, or he wants to establish a safe country and have both wealth and honor, or he wants to be famous in the world.
, don’t ask any more questions.”
As if they had rehearsed in advance, the ghosts' expressions gradually became dull, and they just bowed down together and said: "I have achieved freedom from life and death, the great immortal has achieved it, I have established a country and a safe country, and I have wise generals... A person who is no more than a person from the underworld, only has one strength."
, I am willing to dig mountains and build bridges under the Immortal Seat, and build an immortal mansion, and hope that the Immortal will be fulfilled..."
This conversation indeed corresponds to what was said in "Qi Men Dun Jia". It can be seen that what Yu Xu passed down was extremely rigorous and accurate.
"Good, on the day when my work is completed, you will also obtain the fruit of righteousness and good, reincarnate as gods and humans, and enjoy infinite lifespan, and you will not be in trouble..."
After saying this, he burned clothes, silk scarves and other objects, saying: "It's just clothes and scarves, you can use this to cover your body..."
After a while, all the warriors were neatly dressed, and all they could see below the stage were that they were all big-shouldered, round-waisted, and two feet tall, with yellow scarves on their heads and yellow clothes. Their breath was like mist and their breath was like clouds.
Liu Qiao made a final decision, and all the warriors disappeared, leaving everything around empty, as if nothing had happened.
"It's better to test it out to avoid making mistakes when using it correctly..."
After thinking about it, I still couldn't help but want to try the magic. Then I moved my lips slightly, recited a mantra silently, and said to a huge stone under the stage: "Quickly move this object to the altar..."
In an instant, the divine wind blew under the altar, flying sand and rocks were heard. There was a "crash" sound, and a huge boulder about ten feet square and weighing a thousand kilograms was seen. It slowly flew up in the air, moved several feet, and slowly landed on the altar.
superior.
There was a sound of a wooden board breaking, but the wooden platform could not bear the weight of the stone, and a corner of it collapsed.
Although it took several days to build the altar that he had worked so hard to build, it cracked, but Liu Qiao did not feel sad at all. Instead, he said happily: "The immortals in Yuxu Palace regard this as a small skill, but now that I see it, it is wonderful. It does not require any consumption of magic power.
Moving and building things is really wonderful..."
As for the broken Dharma platform, now that we have the Yellow Turban Warriors, not to mention the mere three-foot Dharma platform, even a several-foot-long pavilion can be built in a day.
Each of these yellow scarf warriors can carry a hundred kilograms. Not only can they be released as wandering gods and monitors, they can also carry objects and hit people at critical moments. The most important thing is that after being refined through water and fire, they can also be summoned and used during the day.
And it can be driven by just chanting a spell, without any magic power. A hundred kilometers of sailing only requires a bag of cigarettes, um... a bag of incense. Nothing is more cost-effective than this.
