Chapter 227: The past of Shentu, the right path in the world is the vicissitudes of life (please subscribe)
Wei Tu didn’t know very clearly about what was hidden in the storage bag and the ruby ring.
After all, his killing of the ghost infant this time relied more on the power of the Jinzi Fate, and he did not completely devour the ghost infant.
Of course, this is also a good thing.
Snake swallowing an elephant is certainly possible, but the greater chance is that the snake will be strangled to death.
Master Shentu's memory is too huge, at least thousands of years, and it is simply not something that Wei Tu, a monk who has practiced Buddhism for two hundred years, can bear.
At that time, it will not be known whether Wei Tu is himself or Master Shen Tu.
Moreover, Wei Tu didn’t want to have too many memories of other strange monks in his mind.
After turning over the bones of Master Shentu for a while, Wei Tu found a red storage bag inside Master Shentu’s robe, near his ribs.
"Self-destruction restriction. It seems that the ghost baby did not deceive me. If I don't agree to the agreement, this storage bag will destroy itself after its death." After Wei Tu got the storage bag, he immediately placed it in the storage bag. On the surface, a large number of restrictions were found.
The only function of these prohibitions is to destroy the storage bag.
In the Qi-training realm, during the battle between Wei Tu and Geng Wen, Geng Wen was defeated by Wei Tu and destroyed his storage bag before he died.
However, because Geng Wen was not strong enough to completely destroy the storage bag, the jade slips in his storage bag remained.
The Yuanying monks are different.
Wei Tu can be sure that even if the ghost baby is at a disadvantage, he still has the opportunity to detonate the restrictions on the storage bag and destroy the storage bag.
His failure to do so was due to the agreement made with him before the war started.
“This ghost baby actually keeps his word. But he is just willing to sit here and not go to the outside world to rob others?” Wei Tu was confused.
But soon, a yellowed jade slip found in the storage bag answered Wei Tu's doubts.
This jade slip was left by Master Shentu and records his life events.
From birth to death, from the Qi training stage to the Nascent Soul stage, everything that happened in the process was recorded in detail.
Seeing this jade slip, Wei Tu no longer felt a little regretful about not being able to get all the memories of the ghost baby.
After reading the contents of the jade slips.
Weitu understood all the reasons why "Master Shentu" behaved strangely.
The reason why the ghost infant did not go to the outside world and seize the bodies of other monks was because before Master Shentu died, he set up a Nascent Soul-level ban in the cave to prevent the ghost infant from going out to harm others.
Ghost baby is Master Shentu, but not Master Shentu.
As stated by Guiying himself.
Seven hundred years ago, Master Shentu died at the end of his life.
The "ghost baby" left behind is just a ghost that Master Shentu himself was unwilling to perish and refined with a secret method before his death.
The grotto is closed.
He then trained himself into a ghost and used it to seize the body.
Master Shentu’s behavior was full of contradictions.
However, after reading the jade slips left by Master Shentu, Wei Tu gained some understanding of Master Shentu's actions.
Master Shentu's surname was Xia, and his name was Beichen. He was born into a family of officials in the Jingguo state more than 3,000 years ago.
However, Xia Binchen didn't like to study Confucianism since he was a child. He liked to travel around the rivers and lakes. When he was seventeen years old, he left a farewell letter and became a knight-errant, riding a fast horse and wearing a long sword at his waist.
After working as a knight-errant for several years, Xia Binchen met a descendant of a monk who was in trouble. After helping the descendant of the monk several times with a chivalrous heart, the descendant of the monk gave Xia Binchen a technique for cultivating immortals.
From then on, Xia Binchen embarked on the road of cultivating immortality.
It's just that Xia Binchen's path to becoming an immortal was not going smoothly. He has ordinary qualifications, only low-grade spiritual roots, and has little hope of building a foundation in his life.
In order to buy foundation-building elixirs, Xia Binchen went to the Demonic Wolf Mountains and became a knife catcher.
Perhaps due to his hard work in the martial arts world when he was young, Xia Binchen's martial arts were good, and his spirit and martial arts were integrated into one. He quickly accumulated enough spiritual stones to purchase the "Ningji Pill" in the Yaolang Mountains.
One hundred and seven years later, Xia Binchen successfully built the foundation and became the real person building the foundation.
After establishing the foundation, Xia Binchen became a Taoist couple with a female cultivator from the foundation-building family. This foundation-building family has been a family of talisman masters for generations.
The building near the water gets the moon first.
Henceforth, Xia Binchen became a talisman cultivator during the foundation building stage.
However, Xia Binchen's Taoist qualifications, like his cultivation qualifications, were not outstanding.
Logically speaking, the foundation-building realm is basically the end of Xia Binchen’s journey.
But when Xia Binchen was 231 years old, he accidentally encountered a demon cultivator. After killing him, he learned about the existence of the "Taixu Realm".
This demon cultivator is a direct descendant of the Stone Demon Sect. It's a pity that the Stone Demon Sect has been destroyed long ago. Even though this demon cultivator is a direct descendant, his cultivation is only at the foundation level.
After knowing the Taixu Realm.
Xia Pinchen immediately set off to Tonghu Mountain in the State of Zheng to explore the inheritance place of the Stone Demon Sect.
Like Wei Tai and other foundation-building demon cultivators, Xia Binchen successfully entered the Taixu Realm.
However, unlike "Wei Tai" and others, because of the "Taixu Stone" carried by the direct descendants of the Stone Demon Sect, Xia Binchen was able to escape safely even if he encountered a crisis in Taixu territory. With the help of the "Taixu Stone" Teleported out.
Therefore, relying on the secret place of "Taixu Realm", Xia Binchen quickly accumulated enough resources to break through the Jindan Realm. At the age of 346, he condensed the elixir in one fell swoop and became the True King of Jindan.
Later, Xia Binchen got other opportunities outside Taixu, such as the inheritance of Talisman masters and so on. The accumulation of these inheritances resulted in the birth of a casual cultivator Nascent Soul.
711-year-old Ning Yinghou.
Xia Binchen thought of the help of the "Taixu Realm" to him, so he gave himself the name "Master Shentu" in the name of "Blood Tu Hai".
And in the next hundred years, a sect called the Fire Spirit Sect was founded. Moreover, he built an underground palace for himself in the Southern Wilderness Ancient Plains to monopolize the great opportunity of the "Taixu Realm".
It is very similar to the content on the murals in the underground palace corridor.
After Ning Ying, Xia Binchen's potential has been exhausted, and it is extremely difficult to break through to the next realm.
Therefore, Xia Binchen was in the underground palace and closed his eyes to death. One is to break through in cultivation, and the other is to explore the inner realm of Taixu Realm.
Xia Binchen maintained his Nascent Soul cultivation level, so he should be able to cross the "Cold Crystal Platform", reach the inner realm of Taixu Realm, and completely obtain the inheritance of the Stone Demon Sect.
In fact, Xia Binchen did pass the seventh demonic pass "Han Jingtai" with Yuanying cultivation, and reached the territory of Taixu.
However, success is too imaginary, and failure is too imaginary.
After arriving in Taixu territory.
Because Xia Binchen was not a direct disciple of the Stone Demon Sect, he did not know that the territory of Taixu was filled with the colorless and tasteless poison "Seven Star Begonia Poison".
This poison was administered thousands of years ago when the Stone Demon Sect was destroyed in order to prevent the enemy from seizing the sect's foundation.
After being poisoned by this poison, even if you are a Yuanying monk, it is difficult to completely eliminate the poison. I can only watch as my cultivation level deteriorates day by day.
Seeing this scene, Xia Binchen wanted to use the Taixu Stone to escape from the inner domain, but unexpectedly, at this critical moment, the Taixu Stone not only failed, but was also banned and directly turned into powder.
Xia Binchen had no choice but to use his advanced cultivation to forcibly drain out the "Seven Star Begonia Poison" in the sea of blood. Hundreds of years have passed, and Xia Binchen has gradually worn off the poison of Seven Star Begonia from his body. But unfortunately, after he got rid of the spiritual poison, his life span was less than two hundred years.
Furthermore, due to detoxification, his strength is also in a weak stage.
There is no hope for a breakthrough in cultivation.
Xia Binchen walked out of the underground palace. After explaining his affairs, he prepared to go into seclusion again to see if he could break through the realm and extend his life.
If the breakthrough fails, he will sit in the underground palace.
Time passed, and two hundred years later. It's time for Xia Binchen to die.
There is great terror between life and death.
At this time, Xia Binchen remembered a piece of ghost magic that he had once obtained. With this ghost magic, he could "extend his life" and survive.
Even, you can use this to seize the house.
It’s just that seizing a body has always been despised by the righteous monks, and Xia Binchen himself has always regarded himself as a righteous monk.
Practice the ghost way skills and then take over others...Xia Binchen himself couldn't pass this hurdle in his own heart.
Under such contradiction.
Xia Pingchen made a choice.
He left a "Picture of a Taoist Holding a Sword" in the underground palace and placed it in the altar, and then he returned to the Blood Tuhai Cave Mansion and switched to the ghost method.
Before switching to the ghost method, Xia Binchen set up a ban at the entrance of the grotto and erased his memory of the talismans and formations. If no one entered the grotto, death would be waiting for him. He... It’s not considered a mistake.
But if someone enters the grotto, it proves that God will not give up and life should not be cut off.
He can seize the person, fulfill the person's last wish, and after leaving the Taixu realm, he can do the right thing again.
…
“The right path in the world is the vicissitudes of life.” After reading Master Shentu’s jade slips, Wei Tu sighed.
Two years ago, Master Shentu took away his body, which was a sin and a mistake. However, if he was a disciple of the Huo Jing Sect and had awe of Master Shentu, the founder, he would not have suffered such a misfortune.
The "Picture of a Taoist Holding a Sword" is actually an enshrined portrait of Master Shentu.
“It is not easy to maintain a chivalrous heart all the time. You have been a good person all your life, but before you die, you become a bad person because of a single thought.”
Wei Tu shook his head and planned to abide by the previous agreement with the "Ghost Infant" and send Master Shentu's bones back to his hometown.
This time, if he had not broken into the "Taixu Realm". Then, Master Shentu until his death was the wandering knight of Dafengpo, not an evil person who was forced to become a ghost and take away the bodies of others in order to survive.
Sure, in a sense.
The ghost baby failed to seize the body and was beheaded by Wei Tu. To a certain extent, it also fulfilled the last wish of Master Shentu before his death - if he really wanted to seize the body, Master Shentu would not have left a prohibition in the grotto to prohibit the ghost baby from leaving. . He will not erase his memory of the Tao of Talisman and Formation before he dies.
The ghost babies in the back are just the evil thoughts left by Master Shentu in the human world.
…
After understanding the story of Master Shentu.
Wei Tu organizes the harvest in the storage bag left by Master Shentu.
These gains were not much, and there were almost no spiritual stones. They were all used up by Master Shentu in the last period of his life.
There are dozens of jade slips.
However, the contents of most of the jade slips are exactly the same as what Wei Tu found when he was in the underground palace.
In addition to the same "talisman master inheritance" and "kung fu inheritance", these jade slips also contain a third-level formation inheritance and some side-door magic techniques.
For example, Master Shentu practiced the ghost method "Rakshasa Yin Gong" before his death.
There are actually two items on the instrument, a yellow jade plaque and an ancient bronze mirror with a bright red mirror surface.
Just, I saw these two magic weapons.
Wei Tu is a bit afraid to take it.
These two magical weapons are treasures obtained from the Taixu Realm after Master Shentu opened the Taixu Realm.
It is contaminated with a spiritual poison called "Seven Star Begonia".
This spiritual poison can only be eradicated one by one after hundreds of years with Master Shentu's cultivation.
Facing this thing, Wei Tu had to be extremely careful. You won't take risks easily at this moment.
Fortunately, in addition to the magical weapon, Master Shentu also left a talisman box.
In this talisman box, there are placed some third-level high-grade spiritual talismans that Master Shentu drew before his death seven hundred years ago. This thing can be regarded as some compensation for those who later took away the body.
There are seals and restrictions on the phylactery.
However, Wei Tu noticed that there was a monument-shaped gap on the phylactery.
He thought for a moment, took out the "Fuxin Stele" and placed it on the gap in the shape of the stele.
In an instant, the aura of the talisman box overflowed, and the cover fell off the box body, revealing ten golden jade talismans hidden inside.
"They are all among the third-level top-grade ones. Five attack talismans and five defensive talismans. Master Shentu has thought more carefully." Wei Tu took a look at the runes on the jade talismans and immediately recognized the patterns of these ten jade talismans. Name, type.
"It's a pity that there is no fourth-level talisman." Wei Tu showed a hint of disappointment on his face.
Although he was disappointed, before Wei Tu opened the talisman box, he could roughly guess that the fourth-level talisman would not be placed in the talisman box left by Master Shentu.
First, prevent the talisman box from being opened by the ghost baby, and then use the fourth-level talisman to break through the restrictions placed by Master Shentu in the cave before his death.
Without the fourth-level talisman, Guiying wouldn't even think about opening this talisman box, which would be a waste of energy.
After all, the spiritual energy in the grotto is limited. Spending more strength will reduce the possibility of successfully seizing the body in the future.
Both of them, the spiritual ink and talisman paper for drawing fourth-level talismans are not easy to come by.
Master Shentu is only at the bottom of Yuanying territory, and his strength is not outstanding. The number of fourth-level talismans he can obtain is definitely limited.
Master Shentu also made arrangements for his funeral before his death. If there is a fourth-level talisman, it will definitely be left to his sect and descendants.
Instead of leaving it to him.
"However, these third-level high-quality talismans are enough for me. I don't need to deal with the Yuanying monks." Wei Tu hid the ten jade talismans in his sleeves and thought to himself.
His biggest enemies now are Demon Lord Guiluo and others. With these ten third-level high-grade talismans in hand, combined with his own cultivation, he already has the power to protect himself. There is no need for a fourth-level talisman.
“even to the point of…”
"I don't have to face Demon Lord Guiluo and others. I leave the cave and return the same way, leaving the Taixu Realm directly."
A smile appeared on Wei Tu’s lips.
