Chapter 96 Increase and Loss

Three days later, Peach Blossom Mountain.

"Peach Blossom Temple on Peach Blossom Mountain, Peach Blossom Fairy in Peach Blossom Temple!"

"I heard that there is a true cultivator in this mountain, and he must be from the Miaofa Taoist family!"

"Last time I was at Peach Blossom Temple, the Taoist Master gave me a pair of elixirs. It worked wonders after I returned."

"No wonder Brother Zhang, you have become so powerful recently, killing everyone in that Chunfeng Tower. It turns out you got the Taoist Priest's elixir."

"We should be punished for not sharing such a good thing with friends like us!"

"Okay, okay, I'll treat you to Chunfeng Tower tomorrow, okay!"

"Hahaha……"

A group of young men, accompanied by their servants and servants, came up to Peach Blossom Mountain for sightseeing, until they reached the gate of Peach Blossom Temple.

"Ahem!"

Seeing this, the handsome young master at the head coughed slightly and reminded his friends: "Be more serious. Taohua Taoist Master has a real way of cultivating. Don't be disrespectful. If you make the Taoist Master unhappy..."

"Don't worry, I'll find out later!"

After hearing this, several people put away their distractions and arranged their clothes before entering the temple.

As a result, as soon as they stepped into the gate, everyone waiting was shocked.

"this……!!!"

Inside the Peach Blossom Temple, in the courtyard, there were a bunch of jars sealed with yellow talismans and filled with gloomy atmosphere. There were also several dead and incorruptible corpses on the ground, as well as a few skeletons turned into white bones.

The few swingers had never seen such a horrifying scene before. They were stunned for a while before they came to their senses. Then they all rolled and crawled out of Peach Blossom View in panic.

In this way, one day passed.

The next day, at noon, the group hurried up to Peach Blossom Mountain.

The leader was an official, followed by a group of police officers, a monk and two people from outside the country.

A group of people hurried up the mountain and rushed into the Peach Blossom Temple. Then they saw the Yin altar bone cup, corpse bones, and a pink peach blossom dress placed on the ground.

"this……"

"Fellow Taohua Taohua is in trouble?"

"Did you encounter a demon, or did a ghost come to your door?"

All the officials looked at the corpses and bones on the ground in surprise, while the monks were more concerned about the piles of bone cups and the pink peach blossom clothes.

"Yin altar bone cup!"

"Ghostly!"

"It must be a ghost and evil cultivator!"

"The demon secretly harmed Taoist Taoist Brother Taohua?"

"No, if a demon comes to harm Daoist Taoist Taoist Brother Taohua, why would he leave these things behind?"

The monks exchanged glances, all of them surprised and uncertain.

At this moment...

"Gah~!"

There was a sound of opening the door, and in the inner hall, a person pushed the door open and came out.

He has a high crown and tied hair, a black gauze robe, sword-shaped eyebrows like tiger wings, cold eyes with a sharp light, a middle-aged face, and frosty sideburns, but he does not look old. His five-willow long beard, although elegant, does not feel like an immortal. , there is only the awe-inspiring majesty of a force that makes people feel frightened and stressed.

He pushed open the door and stepped out, surprising everyone in the courtyard. The head catcher next to the official was even more stimulated by his energy and involuntarily pulled out his sword half a foot.

When the monks saw this, they were equally shocked and confused, but after all, their cultivation was different from ordinary people. They quickly calmed down and stared at the visitor coldly.

However, he ignored it and went straight to the courtyard. He faced a group of officials and a monk and two cultivators: "Taohua Taoist here is a ghost and demon. The evil cultivator has been killed by the poor Taoist!"

After that, he pointed out with two fingers together like a sword: "These Yin altar bone cups and corpse bones are all evil and evil objects unearthed in the temple!"

Then, he looked at the crowd again and said in a cold voice: "The poor Taoist wandered here to do justice for heaven and killed this monster. From then on, Taohuashan Taohua Temple was changed to Jilei Mountain Mingxiao Temple. Do you have any objections?"

"this……"

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

One monk, one cultivator, two cultivators, their brows furrowed in confusion.

"how?"

Xu Yang glanced coldly: "Do you think a poor Taoist is not worthy of living in this dojo?"

As he spoke, thunder and lightning started to move like dragons under the Taoist robe.

"this……"

"Lefa!!!"

Seeing this scene, everyone's eyes shrank, and the monks and Taoists were even more horrified.

For a while, the atmosphere was tense and stalemate.

In the end, it was the official who broke the deadlock.

"Master Taoist, please collect your magical powers!"

The official smiled lightly and stepped forward to ease the atmosphere: "I have long felt that this Peach Blossom Temple and Peach Blossom Tao are weird and weird. They are not like good people. They are evil cultivators pretending to be Taoist disciples. Now that the Taoist leader has killed them, he is willing to It is truly a blessing for the people of Guobei to sit here and deter evil spirits!"

After saying that, the official held up his hands and asked with a smile: "Dare you ask for the name of Changxian Mountain?"

Xu Yang looked indifferent and said in a cold voice: "Shi Jian, a poor Taoist and a casual cultivator!"

"It turns out to be Taoist Master Shi Jian!"

Although his attitude was cold, the officials didn't care and still said with a smile: "The Taoist leader killed this monster and was willing to take over this Taoist temple to protect the peace of this place. This is actually a blessing to the people here."

"When I return, I will report immediately and change this mountain to Jilei Mountain and this temple to Mingxiao Temple. From then on it will be the Taoist Priest's Taoist Temple!"

After saying that, he turned to the second monk and Taoist cultivator: "Master Baishan, Taoist Master Qinghe, what do you two think?"

"this……"

The two of them looked at each other, then looked at Xu Yang's appearance, and then bowed together.

"We have no objections!"

"This peach blossom demon hides so deeply, thanks to my Taoist friend's sharp eyes, otherwise I'm afraid we would be plotted by him!"

"The life and death of the two of us is a small matter, but the harm to the people of this place is a big deal. This fellow Taoist has done an immeasurable merit. Entering this mountain is a matter of course!"

The two people's words were not flattery, but excuses.

Although they didn't know the origin of the person in front of them, the thunder method he just showed was enough to prove his identity.

After all, thunder method is the most respected of all Taoist methods, the key to heaven and earth, the most authoritative, and it conflicts with all evil cultivation methods. Except for some evil thunder, demon thunder, Yin thunder, and strange thunder, thunder method is the symbol of true cultivation of Taoism and the pillar of the righteous way.

The thunder and lightning that this person just moved had a pure breath and full of power. It was definitely not a strange and evil thunder. He must be a master of the righteous way.

Although he claimed to be a casual cultivator and was unwilling to introduce himself, this did not affect his identity as a righteous thunder cultivator at all. Killing Taohua Taoist with this was an act of eliminating demons and defending the way.

The two local cultivators should not only not find fault, but also quickly distance themselves from each other. After all, they had just interacted with Taohua Taoist, although not deeply, but not shallowly.

If they don't explain clearly, what if the other party suspects that they are also evil cultivators?

You have to know that the thunder cultivators are always vigorous and resolute, hate evil and will start fighting as soon as they say they will.

They don't want to conflict with such people.

"Then it's settled."

Seeing this, Xu Yang didn't say much, and hit out with his backhand. Thunder and lightning were like fire, blasting the Yintan bone bowl and the corpse on the ground into ashes.

Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked and awed, and the awe in their eyes was even greater.

"It is really pure thunder method!"

"This person's strength should not be underestimated!"

"If Taohuadao is really an evil ghost cultivator, it is also in line with the calamity to die in his hands!"

"It is also a good thing to have this person in Guobei County. At least, it can suppress the arrogance of the old demon in Lanruo Temple!"

Monk Baishan and Taoist Qinghe were secretly shocked, but they remained calm on the surface and bid farewell to everyone.

Xu Yang did not see him off, and soon returned to the temple.

Although this world is not as good as the black water world full of gods and Buddhas, it should not be underestimated.

The inheritance of the three religions, the forces of various parties, and many demons, ghosts, and monsters, can be said to be crouching tigers and hidden dragons.

In such a world, if you want to gain a foothold steadily, you can't do it without a formal identity.

Therefore, Xu Yang played this drama, occupying Taohua Mountain as a Taoist temple with the identity of "Shi Jian", so as to avoid being labeled as a demon, a ghost, or an evil cultivator when recruiting disciples and developing forces in the future, and attracting the attacks of the masters of the three religions.

In addition, with such an identity, he may be able to gradually join the Taoist sect in the future and seek the soul cultivation method of the core of the inheritance.

Of course, this is a matter for the future.

The main task at the moment is to improve his strength.

In the secret room, Xu Yang sat on the futon, with three Taoist scriptures in front of him.

Needless to say, "Taishang Dongzhen Concentrated Spirit Cultivation Sutra" is a true Taoist scripture. If you want to practice the magic power of this world, you must study this scripture and practice hard day and night.

"The Annotation of the Jade Pivot Treasure Scripture of the Nine Heavens Yingyuan Thunder and Universal Transformation of the Heavenly Lord" is the true scripture of thunder magic, which can greatly enhance the power of protecting the way and fighting. However, because it is a righteous practice, there is no shortcut to quick success. It can only be practiced with the foundation. The stronger the foundation, the stronger the thunder magic.

So, there is nothing much to say about these two, just one word - endure!

On the contrary, "The Art of Guiyu of the Immortal Yin in the Mysterious Tomb of the Darkness" has some shortcuts.

There are six realms of Taoism practice in this world, namely Taoist children, Taoists, Taoist priests, magicians, real people, and real monarchs.

According to Xu Yang's understanding and comparison, Taoist children, Taoists, and Taoist priests correspond to the three realms of inner Yuan in martial arts. There is nothing much to say about the early, middle and late stages of Qi training. It is just hard practice of Taoism to improve Taoism (spirit and soul)

The fourth realm magician corresponds to the concentration of martial arts, and the perfection of Qi training can cultivate Yin Shen and perform the art of spells.

The fifth realm real person, for martial arts Dan, cultivation and foundation building, can have Yin Shen out of the body, and the body dies but the spirit is immortal.

The Six Realms True Lord corresponds to the above Baodan, and the cultivation of the Golden Elixir can transform Yin into Yang, and travel to the North Sea in the morning and Cangwu in the evening.

Taohua Taoist is a magician who has trained the Yin God and can perform many spells. His strength is definitely not weak.

However, he was born in an improper way and was an evil cultivator. When Xu Yang caught him, he used the thunder and lightning method to restrain him and blasted him into slag and turned him into ashes.

If he was an orthodox cultivator, with Xu Yang's current martial arts Zhen Gang, he could not do anything to him with the cultivation of the third realm.

Unfortunately, this if is not true.

Taohua Taoist is dead.

But the art of commanding ghosts he left behind is extraordinary.

Although the thunder method is strong, it requires a foundation. Without a hundred or eighty years of hard practice, don't expect to see the results.

This art of commanding ghosts is different. There are many shortcuts to take and many wonderful uses.

Now, Xu Yang has taken a fancy to a method of Yin soldiers and ghost generals.

"Increase life and reduce life" two generals!

This method needs to be based on the evil ghost soldiers, preferably the souls of generals who died on the battlefield. After being captured, they are fed with a large number of evil ghost souls. After reaching a certain level, they can be refined into "Generals of Increased Life" and "Generals of Loss of Life", that is, Generals of Increase and Loss.

Generals of Increase and Loss, only kill but not pass, can grow rapidly by killing evil ghosts and devouring evil ghosts, and even supply their own Yin Yuan to the general master by the method of "increase and loss", increase the general master's mana, improve the general master's Taoism, and even increase life.

There are many advantages.

But the disadvantages are also obvious, that is, it is very easy to get out of control.

The general soul is unruly and is the most ferocious ghost. After being refined into Generals of Increase and Loss, it will devour tens of millions of evil ghosts. It can be said to be a collection of "evil". If it is not good and cannot be controlled, Generals of Increase and Loss will become two ghost kings to counterattack the general master.

Therefore, if you do not have enough strength to suppress it, do not practice Generals of Increase and Loss, otherwise you will give up your life.

Taoist Taohua, for example, is very self-aware. He would rather spend time and effort to collect the nine ghosts of "Three Aunts and Six Grandmothers" than to practice the two generals of increase and loss, which are more powerful and beneficial, because he is afraid that he will not be able to control them and the two generals will backfire on him.

But Xu Yang does not have this worry.

With the means in "Xuanming Lingyin Zhenren's Ghost Training Technique", it may not be able to suppress the two generals of increase and loss, but what if he adds a "Nine Heavens Yingyuan Leisheng Puhua Tianzun Yushu Baojing Jizhu"?

Let them rebel?

So Xu Yang decided to try to refine the two generals of "increasing life and reducing life".

At the same time, he practiced Taoist scriptures and practiced thunder magic, three-pronged approach.

In this way, it won't take long for him to gain considerable combat power and gain a firm foothold in this world of monsters and demons!
