Chapter 83: Asking for others is better than asking for yourself
"Then what's the use of this recorded witchcraft?" Tao Xiaowu couldn't help but complain.
Ancient divine texts are used to communicate with the ancient ghosts and gods. However, these ancient ghosts and gods have disappeared now, and may have all fallen. Where can I learn these ancient divine texts?
Moreover, even if you learn it, what is the use?
"It's no wonder that the wizards are in decline now... Just look at those unlucky people in Luojiang, and you can see how miserable the wizards are now!"
Even so, the witchcraft recorded in the silk book is not useless at all.
At least, Tao Xiaowu can use the witchcraft recorded above to summon the ghost soldiers of the ancient Xi Kingdom to fight at critical moments.
This kind of witchcraft is quite practical!
Tao Xiaowu had no choice but to make a witchcraft according to the method recorded in the silk script to summon the ghost soldiers of the ancient Xi Kingdom.
This witchcraft does not have a fixed shape, as long as the corresponding witchcraft is engraved on it.
The most important thing is to hold a witchcraft ceremony to summon the ghosts and gods of the ancient Xi Kingdom and obtain their recognition. Only then can you be qualified to summon the soldiers and horses of the ancient Xi Kingdom!
This matter may be very difficult for other wizards.
However, for Tao Xiaowu, it is very simple!
He directly asked someone to make a token, and used ink made from several types of blood, bone powder, and several crushed ore materials to carve a witchcraft spell on the token.
Then, according to the records in the silk book, Tao Xiaowu lit the witchcraft medicine mixed with several spices and medicines, chanted the incantation, and within a few seconds, there was movement in the green smoke.
In the small bronze cauldron in front of him, the flames burning the witchcraft medicine suddenly became strong, and all the witchcraft medicine inside was burned out in just an instant.
The smoke with a strange smell rushed three feet into the air, suddenly spun and turned into a grimace, and then got into the token.
An invisible force spread, and the token, which was originally made of brass, suddenly floated into the air and stayed there for a long time.
"It's done!"
Tao Xiaowu looked happy, reached for the token, and put it away solemnly.
It seemed that the soldiers and horses of the ancient Xi State gave him a lot of respect and responded to his witchcraft so quickly.
After practicing to this point, Tao Xiaowu has already discovered that in fact, whether it is witchcraft or spells, in many places they are no longer "different but have the same effect", but are basically the same.
Whether it is witchcraft or Taoism, in many places, it is actually nothing more than the so-called "sympathetic communication"!
Traffic sensing ghosts and gods, use the power of ghosts and gods to cast spells!
The difference is that witchcraft relies entirely on sympathetic communication to cast spells.
But Taoism requires one's own cultivation.
His own magic power is deep and he can communicate with the gods more conveniently and easily.
Even, use your own magic power instead of relying on the power of ghosts and gods to cast spells!
For example, almost all of the spells that Tao Xiaowu learned from unknown Taoist books were based on taking the essence of the sun and moon.
Take the essence of the sun and moon to cultivate your magic power and use it to cast spells!
"This may be the most important reason why Taoism later replaced witchcraft. It is better to seek help from others than from yourself!" Tao Xiaowu sighed slightly.
…
After a period of time, Tao Xiaowu stopped taking Yuehua and practiced with some distress.
Recently, there have been some deviations in his practice of taking food.
Mainly in autumn and winter, there are continuous heavy snowfalls, so the lunar energy is strong, while the solar energy is weak.
Especially since Tao Xiaowu got a few more pearls full of Taiyin energy, this problem became even more serious!
During this period of time, the Yuehua that Tao Xiaowu took had become so powerful that it far exceeded that of Niijing, and there was some imbalance in his body.
He will not forget that he did not practice the method of taking the sun essence at the beginning, but just took the moonlight, and his body gradually turned into a living corpse!
Although I have been thinking of a solution, there is no good solution.
Tao Xiaowu could only stop taking Yuehua first and practice taking Sunjing to balance the yin and yang in the body.
Fortunately, as winter gradually passes, things begin again and everything is renewed.
Between heaven and earth, the yang energy is gradually becoming stronger, and the sun's energy is also slowly becoming stronger, so that his problem can be solved!
…
Early that morning, as the sun was rising, Tao Xiaowu started taking Rijin.
As Qing Shui took the talisman, there was immediately a burning flame, as if exploding in his body, and rounds of golden light flashed in front of his eyes, allowing him to enter the interior scene.
The sea of fire was churning, with fire crows flying in it. It seemed that inadvertently, the feathers shaken off by a fire crow fell on Tao Xiaowu.
The scorching flames burned immediately!
In the past, he wouldn't have been able to bear such a fire crow feather.
However, as his practice deepens, he can bear more and more of the sun's essence.
At this time, not to mention one fire crow feather, he can at least bear more than ten.
Fire crows flew all over the sky, playing and fighting with each other. From time to time, feathers burning with red flames fell down, and Tao Xiaowu took the initiative to catch them.
When Tao Xiaowu felt that he could no longer bear it, he took the initiative to exit the scene.
Slowly circulate the power in the body and mix it with the Taiyin Qi taken last night to refine it!
After a while, Tao Xiaowu finished his work and opened his eyes. A bright light flashed between his eyes!
At this time, Tao Xiaowu suddenly felt something in his heart. He picked up a blank talisman paper and let the energy of the sun flow over it.
With a bang, the blank talisman paper spontaneously ignited without fire, and it burned like a raging fire.
"This is……"
Tao Xiaowu's eyes showed joy.
In the past, the talisman paper had to be lit on top of a candle, but now I could use my inner refining energy to light the white paper.
This is the true fire in the body!
Then, Tao Xiaowu's heart moved, and the talisman paper that was still burning the next moment was immediately extinguished, leaving only the half-burned talisman paper still emitting smoke.
However, next, a blast of frosty white air quickly froze half of the talisman paper.
…
"Sure enough, he collects the essence of the sun and moon for cultivation. I didn't expect that the great wizard is actually one of our Fangxian!
I said, the witchcraft has been in decline for a long time, how could such a powerful wizard appear?"
A few miles away, on a hilltop, the alchemist Yu He was standing side by side with a man in Tsing Yi, looking towards the direction of the Hou Mansion.
Yu He listened to the man in green with some respect and asked, "Senior brother, do you see it? Do you know what level that wizard Tao has reached in his cultivation?"
The man in green shook his head slightly and said, "I can only see the sun's energy going down. It's obvious that the witch Tao is practicing.
But it’s hard to say exactly what state he has cultivated to…but he shouldn’t have reached the realm of ghosts and immortals!”
Hearing that Tao Xiaowu had not cultivated to the realm of ghosts and immortals, Na Yuhe immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s better if you haven’t cultivated to the realm of ghosts and immortals!
