The wandering old monk suggested, "If you want to improve your cultivation, it's best to find those more powerful banshees or ghosts and subjugate them so that you can use them for practice at any time in the future."
Sure enough, you can’t lie down casually!
Li Huaiyun also wanted to do this, but there was a very practical problem, that is, if those powerful monsters or ghosts were ugly and couldn't be dealt with, then he would rather not practice.
Good-looking ones should be quite rare. When I really have to rush, I probably have to cover my face.
Although this practice is easy, it straddles the yin and yang of life and death, and compared to creatures like him in the yang world, the aesthetics of the underworld are extremely weird and terrifying, and it is really difficult for people to appreciate it.
The wandering old monk put his hands behind his back and pondered for a moment, "Since you are here, let me teach you some simple Tao techniques, which can be combined with your own inner strength and mental methods to practice, so that your practice can be more convenient."
When Li Huaiyun heard this, he knew that what the wandering old monk wanted to teach was how to control ghosts using Taoism. However, he had other ideas in his mind, "Old sir, I don't think these Taoisms are necessary! It's just for convenience anyway."
"Hey! You kid has stepped into a new realm, and you still look down on our Taoist arts?"
"Old sir, you misunderstood. I don't look down on Taoism, but I want to learn another one!"
As soon as the wandering old monk heard this, he knew what this guy was thinking, so he patted the table and stood up angrily, "It's no wonder that I thought that you, a young man, had understanding and justice in his heart. I never expected that you actually want to learn such evil and crooked techniques!"
His anger at this moment was indescribable. After all, he still had a good impression of Li Huaiyun and felt that this guy had a bright future. However, this guy actually had such thoughts.
Taoist Yin Technique is a sinister side Taoist technique, which is extremely harmful to merits and virtues. Even if it is practiced by people with five shortcomings and three shortcomings, there will be huge backlash.
Li Huaiyun was stunned by the attitude of the wandering old monk. He didn't even say anything about what he wanted to learn, but he was scolded bloody. When he saw the wandering old monk getting up and leaving, he quickly raised his hand, "Old sir! You Is there a misunderstanding?”
"Is there any misunderstanding? If you want to learn such evil ways, I can't teach you!"
"What? I don't want to learn any Taoist Yin skills!"
"Ah!" After understanding the truth, the wandering old monk smiled awkwardly, as if he realized that he was too excited just now, "Then what do you want to learn?"
Li Huaiyun told what he saw when Narcissus took Yang Yuan to save him.
"You are saying that you have that kind of Buddha body in your body, and that it is a dead person giving birth that brings you back to life!"
"Yes! So, I want to ask the old gentleman if you know how to practice in this area,"
The wandering old monk's expression was solemn. He was not sure about this situation. "The dead person is giving birth and the Dharma awakens! Such situations are unpredictable! Moreover, I have been away from Buddhism for many years, and I still don't know much about this!"
"That's it, then forget it!"
"However, I have a suggestion, you can go to Sunset City,"
"Sunset City? Where is that place? The name sounds quite dark."
The wandering old monk explained, "This place is in the northernmost part of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is covered with snow all year round. At a certain period, there will be a long period of polar night, and the night seems to last forever!"
"If this is the case, wouldn't the living conditions be quite bad?"
"That's natural. If you cross the Yunjiang River and cross the dangerous terrain, you will find a Fajue Temple! The monks living there may be able to know what is going on in your body!"
"From what the old gentleman said, this place is very far away. You have to be well prepared, otherwise you are very likely to freeze to death there?"
"Yes!"
Li Huaiyun thought to himself that this place was probably very similar to Siberia or the Arctic area. "Old sir, can I really learn the Dharma's exercises there if I go there?"
"That's not necessarily the case!" The wandering old monk's face was a little gloomy, as if he had been a little angry before, making him a little aggrieved.
"Those old monks all have very weird tempers and are surrounded by demons. It's not an exaggeration to say that they are monsters."
"Is it so chaotic? Do those monks believe in Buddhism or not?"
"Believe it! They each have a Buddha in their hearts, and they all hope that others can believe in the same Buddha as themselves!"
"Wait a minute! Old sir, I'm a little confused by what you said! You mean, they only believe in themselves?"
The wandering old monk nodded, "You are right."
"Then if I go to that place, can I really understand what's going on inside the body?"
"It depends on one word!"
Li Huaiyun immediately thought of the most commonly used word in Buddhism, "Could it be the word Yuan?"
"Yes!"
He frowned in thought, the wrinkles on his forehead appeared very deep, and he was quite speechless at this explanation.
Isn't this obviously nonsense? Go, you have to go to such a far place, and the terrain is steep and surrounded by mountains. Moreover, the place belongs to the polar regions. The light and temperature will kill people. It's not like the earth. Plant something warm.
After making all these preparations, as soon as I knocked on the door, I heard the other person say: The donor has no predestined relationship with the Buddha.
Then this trip was not in vain! No, the risk is too great. Unless there is a foolproof solution, we will not consider it.
He clasped his fists and bowed in salute, "Thank you very much, old man, for showing me the way. I have to think twice whether to go or not!"
Hearing this, the wandering old monk comforted him, "If you can't find the meaning of the existence of the Dharma in your body, then you really need to go there."
Li Huaiyun took a breath, and the roots of his teeth stung from the cold, "Oh, there shouldn't be any clues about the Dharma's appearance, right?"
"Then I don't know!"
"Anyway, it's getting late, I still have something to do!" The wandering old monk gently stroked his beard, and just as he was about to turn around, he turned around again, "By the way, I forgot to tell you that the Painted Skin Ghost has now appeared in Kyoto. Then he lurked among the crowd, I don’t know when it started and what kind of special plan it was!”
"Painted Skin Ghost?"
"Yes!"
Li Huaiyun asked hurriedly, "Old sir, what is going on with this painted-skinned ghost?"
The wandering old monk said, "This is a strange ghost. It is a body without any facial features. It is said that it was a person who loved beauty very much during his lifetime, but died innocently and in vain. His face was destroyed and his resentment accumulated for a long time. A kind of ghost."
"They tore off human skin and put it on their bodies as their own appearance. Then they concealed their own aura and blended in with humans."
"Then how to tell the difference? It feels like even if they wear human skin, it will be difficult to cover up all their auras, unless each of them carries a jade carving. The most important thing is, how can these ghosts integrate into the lives of ordinary people? "
"Painted-skin ghosts don't need that thing at all. They tear off human skin as their own disguise, and their own aura will change to be very close to the original aura of the human skin."
"Some painted-skin precious ghosts can even imitate the breath of practitioners!" The wandering old monk gently stroked his beard, "It becomes even more difficult to distinguish them for a while."
"I...!" Li Huaiyun couldn't help but cursed, with a look of disbelief on his face, "Can they be connected together? Doesn't this further prove that they make it difficult for people to distinguish between true and false? In this case, let alone the order of the Demon Slayer Division Cards, maybe even the qi-watching technique the old gentleman taught me is no longer useful."
"That's it!" The wandering old monk was not that worried. After all, he had been catching monsters all his life, and he didn't really care about other aspects.
"According to the situation, the entire Beijing should be infiltrated into a sieve!"
The wandering old monk lightly knocked on the table, "That's not necessarily true. After all, there are still a handful of painted-skin demons, and as long as you practice to a certain level, you can still see through the disguise of this ghost."
"In this case, how can you easily see through the disguise if you haven't reached the realm?"
"You just need to remember a few points. First of all, after this monster puts on human skin, in order to fit it perfectly, there must be some special wounds and sutures on its body.
Secondly, on the faces of those monsters, the entire facial flesh will appear quite stiff. Furthermore, especially when the weather is humid, these human skins will wrinkle when exposed to moisture. If some heat is added, Then that layer of human skin cannot fit the body even more, allowing its original shape to be revealed. "
Li Huaiyun listened patiently to these key points to break the disguise. However, as long as you avoid these carefully, it is still very difficult for people to observe.
"Old sir, is there a more convenient and simple way to make a judgment?"
"Easier?" The wandering old monk pondered for a moment, then pointed to the top of his head, "Then lie down on the person's head and see if there are any black stitches on it. If there are, then it's a painted ghost."
"Are there stitches on your head?"
"Yes, because the heads of these painted ghosts are slightly larger and generally cannot fit into the human skin, so they need to cut a slit on the top of the human skin so that they can fit themselves into the human skin.
"This is a fairly simple way to judge!" Li Huaiyun said, but if he directly goes up and holds down someone's head, he will most likely be regarded as a gangster, a gangster, and the last person wanted for committing a crime.
"It's just that this usage is a bit strange. If I meet a woman, I can't just go up and press her head."
The wandering old monk suddenly looked outside with vigilance. He seemed to sense something, "There is nothing else, and I can't stay here any longer. We will meet again next time when we have a chance!"
"Well!" Li Huaiyun cupped his fists and saluted, "Then thank you very much, old gentleman, for coming here!"
"That's right! You still need to practice your hard qigong more. That technique can help you resist many attacks. When you reach the peak level, you will be immune to all ghosts and poisons!"
"Oh! Then I am not invincible and have no opponents?"
"My child, you are thinking too much! Anyone who is at the same level as you, or one level higher than you, can defeat your hard Qigong."
The wandering old monk suddenly remembered that his current martial arts realm did not yet have a name.
"That's right! Your realm doesn't have a name yet. This is your own unique realm. Have you ever thought about what it should be called?"
"No!" Li Huaiyun looked at the wandering old monk and saluted, "Why don't you, old gentleman, give me a name for my realm?"
"It's okay." The wandering old monk became interested in this. "The energy is abundant, the power is overflowing, and the various functions of the body are in the best condition. The former state is Hedao, which combines martial arts and the body. One body.”
"And this realm is not only integrated into one, but also goes a step further, so let's change it to the realm of transformation!"
"Hua Zhen Realm! It's indeed a good name!" Li Huaiyun heard that the name of this realm was quite pleasant, and he immediately nodded in agreement, "The name given by the old gentleman is quite pleasant to the ears!"
"Then thank you again, old gentleman!"
The wandering old monk waved his hand, "Okay! I have something important to do, so I won't stay here any longer!" The wandering old monk opened the door and disappeared in front of the door in an instant.
Li Huaiyun closed the door and lay down on the bed, preparing to close his eyes and rest for a while, but Narcissus was already lying next to him.
"Master, are you just going to rest like this? Isn't it too boring?"
