Xu Dao looked at these vital points of light appearing in the inner world and was immediately startled.
After killing the black-faced giant ghost, he had already tried many methods to see if he could get the light of life. Unfortunately, all the methods did not have much effect, and the ones that worked were
The gain outweighs the loss.
And the scene that appeared in front of him now was very similar to the situation after killing the black-faced giant ghost. The soul of a mere mortal could produce more vitality points than the soul of a cultivator after it was destroyed.
many.
Xu Dao stared closely at the mortals who were bowing down below, and vaguely grasped the key.
An impulse immediately arose in his heart, and he wanted to test it, but he still endured it, and just moved his eyes to focus on a few more mortals in the crowd.
The auras of these people were dying. They didn't have much time to live. Now they were agitated and were being pushed and pushed by others, so their auras became even lower.
The next moment, one of the white-haired herdsmen fell to the ground and never got up. His soul gradually separated from the corpse and appeared in Xu Dao's field of vision.
At this time, Xu Dao did not let the opponent's soul be shattered on the spot like the previous mortals who died. Instead, he used his magic power to suppress the light and airflow in the inner heaven and earth, so that there could be no breeze and no sunlight.
Let the souls of mortals survive temporarily.
After the mortal soul broke away from the corpse, it first looked at the surroundings and its own corpse with a blank expression, and then found that it was floating up and slowly moved in front of Xu Dao.
"Immortal, Immortal!" The mortal soul saw that the distance between itself and Xu Dao was getting closer, and it almost broke its soul in excitement.
Xu Dao looked down at the other person, and a surge of spiritual consciousness surged out, surrounding the mortal soul. He tried to check to see if the other person's soul had changed.
After some careful inspection, he found that this mortal's soul was still very weak and frail, no different from other mortals, and could only exist for seven days at most.
So Xu Dao thought for a while and said with a thunderous voice: "Your life has expired and your soul has passed away. Do you still have something to say to me?"
When the old herdsman heard this, a look of fear flashed across his face. The man hurriedly lowered his head and looked at the dark heads below. After a long time, the herdsman came back to his senses and confirmed that he was really dead.
Then the eyes of the herdsmen shone brightly, and they looked at the channel tremblingly but expectantly. They kept bowing and bowing: "See the immortal! Meet the immortal!"
"I am willing to work as a cow or a horse beside the immortal. I also ask the immortal to accept me so that I will not become a lonely ghost."
Hearing this, Xu Dao shook his head and said bluntly: "You are mortals and do not cultivate Yin gods. If your body dies today, your soul will not survive for seven days. Even if a god comes, he will not be able to save you."
Then he said playfully: "If I turn you into a lonely ghost, you can survive for a while. But if you do this, you will have to kill people and eat blood, so that you have a chance to turn into a ghost.
To live forever in the world...do you want to be an evil ghost?"
After a pause, Xu Dao added: "If you become an evil ghost, your memories of your life will be lost. Not only will you not recognize your relatives, but it will also cause obstacles to your blood relatives. It is inevitable to cut off your descendants, so you must think clearly.
"
When the herdsman's soul heard such words, he immediately hesitated. Although this person was not willing to lose his soul, he never thought about being a ghost and harming others, nor did he ever think about living at the expense of his own children and grandchildren.
Trembling, the herdsman's soul plopped down in mid-air and lowered his head, lying on his stomach and said: "I, I don't want to be a ghost, Master Immortal, can you send me to have a good pregnancy? I will definitely let my descendants give birth to an immortal."
If you kowtow to your head every day, I will remember you well in the next life!"
At this time, Xu Dao finally couldn't help but chuckle and said: "I'm joking, let alone you want to be reincarnated. Even a poor Taoist wants to have the opportunity to be reincarnated. It's a pity that you and I are not qualified."
."
"Without him, death is like a lamp going out, so don't fantasize!"
After Haosheng explained it, Xu Dao didn't bother to talk to the other party anymore and just drank: "Pindao can only give you one deal today. If you are willing to respect Pindao and disappear into the world willingly, Pindao will give you
Give your descendants a fortune, and give your descendants a chance to practice Taoism. It just depends on their future fortunes and whether they can fulfill your dream of reincarnation today."
"Of course, if you are unwilling to do so willingly, if Pindao removes the magic power, your soul will be destroyed if the breeze blows. At that time, Pindao will not do anything to your family, and they will still be settled."
Being given such a slap in the face by Xu Dao, the herdsmen looked blankly at the people who bowed their heads and kowtowed, especially a few familiar faces among them, with despair on their faces, and then their souls trembled, and they opened their mouths repeatedly, as if they were hesitant to speak:
"I, I..."
Xu Dao also squinted at the other person. If this person said that he wanted to be a ghost, then he would not let the other person live as he said, but would directly kill the other person while he still had a sense of awe, and end it.
dialogue.
Fortunately, Xu Dao was gratified that although the herdsmen knew that they could not escape death, they finally chose to accept their fate and bowed to Xu Dao respectfully:
"The old man has lived for more than seventy years, and he has already been half buried in the soil. This year's heavy snow is higher than that of cattle and sheep... Even if he was dragged to the foot of the holy mountain, the old man has no hope of surviving this winter. Today he can
After talking to the immortal, I can still get the kindness of the immortal master, so the old man is satisfied."
After some nagging words, the herdsman wiped his eyes, looked at a crying boy in the crowd for a long time, then gritted his teeth, and finally kowtowed: "Thank you, immortal."
After saying this, the soul of the herdsman who died suddenly showed a look of relief on his face.
Bang! There is no need for the cold wind to blow or Xu Dao to take action. This person's soul is just like a blown out candle, and it is annihilated, but there are also light spots scattered from it, floating in the inner heaven and earth.
These light spots are exactly the vitality, and there are more of them than when the few souls were blown away by the wind!
Looking at the scene in front of him, Xu Dao's thoughts were swirling in his mind. All the clues and speculations in the past were connected together, and he suddenly understood, and somewhat understood the law of the birth of vital light spots.
If you want to get vitality points from other people's souls, there should be several conditions.
First of all, it must be an immortal Taoist priest, and secondly, the spiritual roots planted by the foundation must have something to do with the gods in heaven and earth, be able to connect with the spirit of the mountains and the earth, and have the authority to command the water and soil of a place.
This is because before Xu Dao refined the Mountain Ghost Ghost Infant, his spiritual root was only obtained from the main body of the Yaksha Sect, which seemed incomplete, so he had never seen such a thing as a light point of life.
After refining the ghost baby, his spiritual roots seemed to have been supplemented with something, and this was the first time he saw the existence of vitality points. And once he left the mountain range where the ghost baby was, he could only see the light in his inner world.
, only then will the vital light appear.
As for the other things, the vital light points are born from the human soul, which is the source of the soul and the basic raw material that makes up the soul. It is mysterious and mysterious. When the soul dies, it will turn into raw materials and escape between heaven and earth.
Only a very small part of these will be captured by Xu Dao.
Xu Dao has tried several times and found that the more powerful the soul, the greater the possibility of giving birth to a light point of vitality. He originally thought that the number of vitality was related to the strength of the soul, but now it seems that it is not just that.
The number of vitality light points is also related to the willingness to dissipate the soul. If the other party is grateful to Xu Dao, the more light points he can capture.
For the time being, only these two laws have been sorted out. As for the deeper reasons, Xu Dao is not clear yet, but it is enough for him to use this law to gain vitality.
Xu Dao thought to himself: "Let's test whether the truth is true or false first. As for the deeper reasons, we can slowly explore them later." He then looked at the remaining mortals with bright eyes.
The mortals who were installed in the inner world were all old, weak, sick and disabled. There was no need for Xu Dao to deliberately kill them. He just watched for hundreds of breaths. The remaining few elderly herders also fainted and their souls appeared one after another.
In front of Xu Dao.
Xu Dao also called each other in front of him one by one, and treated them like the herdsman just now. However, these people who died later did not have the good luck of the person just now. Xu Dao did not talk gently, but turned to coercion, and even
The method of deception is to try to make the other person disappear into the world on his own, which is called salvation.
Fortunately, these old people who would be excited to death all respected Xu Dao so much that after listening to Xu Dao's words, they all chose to dissipate on their own.
Then another light point of vitality appeared and scattered in the inner heaven and earth.
Seeing the new vitality in the inner world, Xu Dao suddenly became happy.
Although these newly added vitality numbers are still not helpful to his immortal cultivation, they can already give birth to dozens of scale soldiers or seven or eight tooth generals with the spirituality of an eight-year-old child.
At least with this method, Xu Dao will be able to cultivate the spirituality of the Tao soldiers in the future, and even make the soldiers under his command have spirituality, return to the grandeur of the past, and no longer be dull.
However, among hundreds of people, it is already rare to find seven old people who are excited to death. Although the remaining mortals are also in awe of Xu Dao, they obviously will not reach the point of fainting.
And Xu Dao did not want to implicate innocent people and kill people to take their souls. This was too cruel and went against his Taoist conscience. As for waiting for the mortals in the inner world to die naturally, he did not have the leisure time.
So Xu Dao thought for a while and said to himself: "Since we can't implicate the innocent, then just implicate those who are not innocent."
I saw him standing in the inner world, gently waving his sleeves, and clouds of white mist suddenly rose from the inner world, sweeping in all the mortals.
As soon as the mortals came into contact with the white mist, their excited behavior stopped instantly, and they started to sway as if they were murmuring in a dream.
This is how Xu Dao created the mirage to stun and confuse the mortals.
The effect of mirage is to create illusions and deceive others' minds. Xu Dao often uses this to interrogate his enemies, which is always harmful. Now when it is used to deal with these mortals, it can even play with the opponent's applause.
He immediately went down among the many mortals, first selected the mortals with blood on their bodies, and questioned them one by one, and then selected the ferocious guys from them.
After a lot of effort, he picked out about ten people.
These were all men who had committed adultery, robbery, and were cruel and violent. Even based on the secular morality of the Far West, all of them were worthy of being quartered with cattle and horses.
Xu Dao was naturally at ease with taking the souls of these people for experiments, treating them as waste and using them to do justice for heaven. As for the remaining old, weak, sick and disabled, he waved his sleeves again, and they all fell into a sweet world.
In sleep.
Compared with the old people who were excited to death just now, although the dozen people who were caught were in awe of Xu Dao, they were obviously not very sincere. Fortunately, what Xu Dao wanted was that they were not sincere, which was convenient for him to try every means to exploit them.
Do it for its soul value.
Immediately, Xu Dao started experimenting one by one in the inner world. After Haosheng's experiments, he escaped from the inner world with his soul and experimented one or two in the outside world to test the feasibility of the law.
As a result, the rule Xu Dao just summarized is indeed correct. No matter how much he threatens or induces, once they leave the inner world, the souls of others will not release the light of life after they die.
At the same time, there are strong and weak souls among the dozen or so people, although the strong and weak ones are not very obvious and can almost be ignored.
However, Xu Dao observed carefully and confirmed that the harvest of vitality is also related to the strength of the soul. Under the same conditions of respecting him, after the strong soul disintegrates, the vitality left behind; after the weak soul disintegrates, the vitality left behind
There is little vitality.
If the strength of the two souls is consistent, the one who has greater respect for Xu Dao will be able to leave more vitality.
After such experiments and contemplation, Xu Dao increasingly felt that these vital points of light were closely related to praying to God and worshiping Buddha.
And the reason why he was able to discover these patterns today happened to be related to the fact that he was regarded as a god by mortals during the battle in the snowy mountains.
With these rules and clues, Xu Dao once again had his thoughts wide open and couldn't help but think: "Is it possible that after building the foundation, there is not only one way for Taoist priests to cultivate Yin Shen? In addition to beating the true energy, there is also the matter of pretending to be a ghost. You can start from the ordinary
Obtaining material from mortals?"
The reason why he covets the vitality light is not only that its vitality can help the tooth general scale soldiers to develop spiritual wisdom, but also because Xu Dao's soul can also absorb these things, and does not even need to be refined after absorption.
Xu Dao once only tasted a little bit, and the cultivation level he gained only lasted for ten days, but he already deeply remembered the feeling, and he will never forget it till now.
After all, I have never heard of something like this that can increase one's cultivation out of thin air. It is simply a treasure that can "immediately become an immortal".
But out of caution, Xu Dao frowned secretly.
If the vitality light spot is really so precious and has magical effects, this thing should be popular and well-known. After all, even this thing in the inner world has a mysterious orifice and a mysterious female record in the Taoist books, but the vitality light spot does not, or even
Even the name "vitality" was called randomly by Xu Dao himself.
"Gathering vitality instead of spiritual energy, pretending to be a god and being respected by others, instead of meditating to refine Qi..." Xu Dao thought carefully, combined with what he had seen and heard in his previous life, he suddenly thought to himself:
"This move is different from the concept of seeking immortality. Although it is also cultivating the Yin God, it should not be called cultivating immortals or cultivating the truth. It should be called 'cultivating the gods'. It is the path of the gods."
In the storytelling novels Xu Dao read in his previous life, there were quite a few characters who practiced Shinto, but those were the words of the novelist. However, in the Taoist books he read in this life, there was no record of Shinto practice methods, even
There are few references to the gods of heaven and earth in ancient times.
Thinking of this, Xu Dao suddenly had an idea in his mind, and he remembered a word!
The vitality light spot is not without any trace in the Taoist books of this world. Just as the inner world is similar to a mysterious orifice, there is an object quite similar to it.
