In the dead of night, people are quiet, and a solitary lamp is lit in the Taoist hall.
The light was extremely depressing, as if it couldn't illuminate the surroundings.
It seems that there is black energy around, rising and shrinking, but it is trapped near the altar and cannot expand.
And with Tao Xiaowu's eyes, he could see that all this darkness seemed to be emanating from the iron sword enshrined on the altar.
"Brother, this is it!"
"This is the evil spirit of earth! It is said that in ancient times, earth energy was pure earth energy.
However, later on, people's hearts were not as old as before, the world was in chaos, there were conflicts between swords and weapons, and there were more and more killings of all kinds.
So that the resentment unites, settles into evil spirits, and mixes with the earth's energy.
As a result, the earthly energy now contains evil spirits. It can be said that earthly evil spirits and human evil spirits have been mixed together for a long time, and they cannot be distinguished clearly."
At this time, when he said these words, Mu Yuping's expression and demeanor were completely different from those in the past. He no longer had the usual aura of a small citizen.
At times like this, he has the air of a master!
Tao Xiaowu thought to himself, now he looked like a Taoist master, and asked: "Does this mean that the spiritual energy of the earth veins has also been polluted by evil spirits?"
If this is the case, among them
"Yes, it can be understood this way." Mu Yuping nodded and continued: "Not only the spiritual energy of the earth veins is polluted by evil spirits, but also other spiritual energies between heaven and earth, so why not?
Therefore, some senior experts believe that the spiritual energy in today's world is declining and Taoism is not good enough. In fact, this is the reason.
Many ancient Taoist methods are no longer useful. It was not until later that seniors created this method of establishing a Taoist temple based on the practice of ancient immortals.
This allows Taoists like us to be able to display our magic power again!"
"Yes, this should be a change from the way of ghosts and immortals!" Tao Xiaowu was sincerely convinced.
"Yes, it is based on the way of ghosts and immortals that the method of establishing a dojo was created.
You practice the way of ghosts and immortals, so you should know best. Although this method of establishing a dojo comes from the way of ghosts and immortals, it is actually completely different!
The way of ghosts and immortals flourished for hundreds of years after Dayu. It was not until the Six Dynasties that it gradually declined and was replaced by the cultivation method of Yinshen. Do you know why?"
Without thinking, Tao Xiaowu said: "That's because it's hard to find a blessed land, and the rules of the underworld are becoming increasingly strict.
It is already impossible for ordinary Taoists to find a blessed land and establish a foundation..."
When he said this, he suddenly woke up.
I thought to myself, this is Senior Brother Mu Yuping trying to persuade me in a roundabout way, telling me not to aim too high and follow the path of ghosts and immortals.
But how does Senior Brother Mu Yuping know that I am not from here?
However, it is difficult to explain this kind of thing. Tao Xiaowu simply did not understand it. It is expected that with the character of Senior Brother Mu Yuping, he would not explain it directly, which is embarrassing!
Tao Xiaowu's prediction was good, and Mu Yuping continued: "Thousands of years ago, when spiritual energy was flourishing and the separation between Yin and Yang was not too serious, it was already so difficult to practice the path of ghosts and immortals.
Not to mention the current world, where there is a barrier between yin and yang, the darkness is far away, and the spiritual energy is shrinking. How can one practice the true way of ghosts and immortals?
Therefore, our current dojo is just a superficial reference to the practice of ghosts and immortals back then. It is not the true method of ghosts and immortals. Junior brother, you must remember this!"
"I understand, senior brother!"
After hearing Tao Xiaowu's words, as expected, Mu Yuping stopped mentioning this topic again.
I just talked to Tao Xiaowu about how to build a dojo. The first thing is to have a magic weapon as the core of the dojo to communicate and control the earthly evil spirits.
And it is best for this magic weapon to be refined and nourished by one's own hands, and to be in tune with one's own mind. Only in this way can one be able to control the evil spirit of the entire dojo!
Then there was the matter of how to gather the Earthly Demons and how to perform sacrifices every day. Finally, it took several years of effort to completely establish this dojo and control it like an arm and a finger.
After hearing this, Tao Xiaowu nodded unconsciously and thought to himself: "This method of establishing a dojo really evolved from the practice of ghosts and immortals.
The same is actually true for authentic ghost and immortal cultivation. A natal spiritual weapon is used to communicate with the spiritual energy of the earth's veins, and even penetrate deep into the underworld to continuously nourish it.
Finally, the aura of the earth is manipulated to form a legal domain.
From then on, the Ghost Immortal Master was able to step into the realms of Yin and Yang, and even exert great power with the help of the earth's spiritual energy.
In fact, my practice, with the help of witch seals, can be said to be a trick, and it also follows a part of the Shinto path, so it is not pure, and it is no longer a typical ghost-immortal practice!"
I also thought that the Taoists in this world today cannot communicate with the spiritual energy of the earth veins, but instead communicate with and control the earth evil spirits.
After all, Earthly Evil is an evil spirit. If you are exposed to it daily for a short period of time, it is fine. If the time is too long, there may be hidden dangers.
No wonder the Taoists in this dungeon's timeline don't live long, usually only fifty or sixty years old.
That's right, I was blind at first and didn't realize that Li Yanzhen, whom I had seen in the previous dungeons, must also be practicing the earth evil method.
It’s just that he should use other methods to extend his life!
"Senior brother, although this practice with the help of earth evil spirits can display magical powers, it is not conducive to prolonging life, let alone making the practice come true..."
Before Tao Xiaowu finished speaking, Mu Yuping laughed loudly and said: "What era is this? Ever since the immortals in Shushan disappeared, in the past two hundred years, there has been no such thing as success."
The matter of the ascension of immortals.
But junior brother is so ambitious, maybe he will be able to achieve success in the future!"
Having said this, Tao Xiaowu didn't know what to say further.
After all, it doesn’t hurt your back to stand and talk.
This world has become like this. It is estimated that the road to immortality has been cut off. Tao Xiaowu really overthought it when he said this.
Mu Yuping already smiled and said: "Come on, junior brother, no matter how much you talk, why not give it a try yourself.
Today I will let you personally take control of this Earthly Evil Realm!"
Tao Xiaowu was shocked when he heard this: "Senior brother, this kind of thing is so important, how can people try it randomly?"
Mu Yuping disagreed and said: "If it's Yan Ming, Yan Zhen and the two of them, I naturally don't dare to let them mess around.
However, after all, you have become the Yin God. If you control the legal domain, what kind of trouble can you cause!"
Tao Xiaowu opened his mouth but said nothing.
In fact, what he wanted to say was not that something went wrong, but that the control was given to him. He could even destroy the dojo or even seize it. Wasn't Mu Yuping worried at all?
Tao Xiaowu sighed in his heart, so much so that he couldn't even speak, so he simply agreed.
"I will hand over the techniques and spells to you. If I am not here, you can help me control the dojo.
Those two brats are too playful and don't practice Kung Fu properly. Even if I try to teach them, I won't be able to!"
Having said that, I have handed over the magic formula and incantation to Tao Xiaowu.
