Xuanmen Taoism has many sects and thousands of schools, but generally it is divided into two types: the immortal way and the ghost way. Immortals and ghosts are different from immortals and demons. There is not too much opposition between good and evil. So what is the immortal way and what is the ghost way?
Immortality is easy to say, that is, the purpose of cultivation is to live forever and become an immortal. Taoism regards life as precious and does not take death as pleasure. Mortals can seek it.
Today's saints respect Buddhism and build many temples and monasteries. Fajing Zen Temple is the first Buddhist cultivation method and is built on the outskirts of the capital.
The first Taoist immortal sect, Wangyou Wujiguan, is located in Liangzhou. Therefore, many merchants and officials in Liangzhou secretly built high-rise buildings just to be closer to the gods in the sky, and even sent their children to Taoist immortals become disciples.
The ghost path means working with ghosts, catching ghosts, killing ghosts, suppressing ghosts, and using ghosts. Many people in the mortal world are integrated with witchcraft and call themselves mages. They hang out in the ignorant places in the countryside and make a career out of catching ghosts and killing evil spirits.
The situation is different for monks who practice ghost ways. Ghost cultivation is not only for the benefit of all living beings, but also the merits and virtues for immortality. Although it is called ghost cultivation, it is actually a way of cultivating the real person.
The ancestors of the Wei family were all Taoist priests in Liangzhou. They wore nine-beam scarves and Taoist robes. They were engaged in suppressing evil spirits, catching ghosts, and making peace. They could be considered a serious business, but they fell into depression a hundred years ago. This matter is still going on. Let’s start from the past.
In the previous dynasty, local officials forced the Taoist priests of the Wei family to use the "Five Ghosts to Luck Wealth" technique to make money for them. This kind of thing that violated the laws of heaven and allowed the souls who were being refined in the underworld to assist living people to steal other people's property, the Wei family would naturally not do it for hundreds of years. Will agree.
The ancestors of the past generations passed on the most reliable method of taming ghosts and gods to their descendants, and urged those who practice this method to help the country and save the people, and not to appear in the world for undue gain.
And there are many taboos in it. Once you use it, if you are not careful, you will fall into the Fengdu underworld and you will be unable to escape. No matter how expert you are, you must be careful!
For thousands of years, the descendants of the Wei family have remembered the teachings of their ancestors, and no one has used it properly. Now, they have to activate this method under coercion, which is also a helpless move.
Unexpectedly, all the elders of the Wei family suffered backlash, and only the younger generation who sought medical treatment in Cangzhou survived. From then on, the Wei family declined and the number of people declined, and there were no more Wei Taoist priests in the world.
"Deacon Wei, if you are sensible, please hand over the antidote quickly, otherwise my master will make you look good!" The leader of the Demon Sect spoke arrogantly, but he did know the details of the Demon Sect's deacon.
"Do you recognize me?" Deacon Wei stopped what he was doing, and Xuan Di was held tightly in his hands.
Although few people know about Deacon Wei's life experience, it is not a secret. He was arrested when he was five years old because he was of the Wei family's bloodline. Unfortunately, after practicing for more than thirty years, he was still in the stage of expelling objects.
The leader of the Demon Sect saw how he failed to live up to his expectations and no longer cared about him. It was a pity to abandon him because it was useless, so he sent him to fill the vacancy of the Demon Sect's deacon.
The leader of the Demon Sect saw that Deacon Wei was shocked by his words. He felt happy and returned to his former arrogance: "I was brought to the Demon Sect by my master when I was eight years old. After more than forty years in the Demon Sect, I still don't know about you. The bottom line is, my life was in vain.”
Yan Wugui, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help but smile contemptuously when he heard this. He walked forward slowly and said, "Your master? The most incompetent protector around the sect master?"
The leader of the Demon Sect was busy dealing with Deacon Wei, but he forgot about the existence of Yan Wugui. He was so angry that he blew his beard and glared: "You, how dare you speak such arrogant words and insult my master!"
Yan Wugui frowned slightly. No wonder the First Lord was still pretending to be powerful here. It turned out that he didn't know what he had done recently. He was not afraid of the trouble and told the First Lord.
Yan Wugui crossed his arms, calmly and calmly, and said slowly with an expression of watching the fun: "It seems that the first master doesn't know yet, your good master has been killed by Huan Qianqiu and I, otherwise how could I Become the new protector?"
Now the leader of the Demon Sect can no longer laugh. His current status depends entirely on the care of his master. If the master is really gone, with his usual domineering behavior, wouldn't it mean that he will be defeated by everyone? , there is absolutely no way out.
"You! You villains who repay kindness with revenge!" The leader of the Demon Sect was so anxious that he directly cursed. Huan Qianqiu and Yan Wugui were recommended to the sect master by them, but his master was killed by the two of them. In his eyes, this is Repay kindness with hatred!
At this time, Yan Wugui had recovered most of his energy. He raised his head slightly and looked at the leader of the Demon Sect with disgust in his eyes. He had already given this person a chance back then, and since he regretted it, no wonder he was so unkind now.
Yan Wugui once again put the true energy in his body into the blood blade in his hand, and was about to fight to the death with the leader of the Demon Sect, but was beaten to the death by someone.
"Bah! I'm giving you this favor, do you want it?" Deacon Wei ripped off his red blood robe, revealing a black gown, and put the black jade flute to his mouth and started playing.
"You are obviously an object-expelling stage..." The leader of the Demon Sect did not understand until his death. He, a golden elixir stage monk, was actually defeated by two object-expelling stages. Not only was he completely defeated, but he also lost his life because of it!
"Is that the ultimate Yin poison?"
"It's just a small trick."
"I can handle it myself. Your Excellency is too busy."
"I, Wei Yousi, would like to welcome the Lord Protector."
"Your surname is Wei? Which Wei family do you belong to?"
"Which other Wei family could it be? Of course it would be the Wei family in Liangzhou City."
Yan Wugui was secretly surprised. He didn't expect that this person was actually a descendant of the Wei family who had a very yin physique a hundred years ago.
"Lord Protector, are these young men going to be silenced?"
"What do you think, Lord Deacon?"
"Whatever you say, I'll do it!"
Yan Wugui was puzzled. Just now, Wei Yousi could have escaped alone and stayed to fight against the leader of the Demon Sect just for these innocent people. But now, he said, he is still so difficult to figure out...
"Do you find it difficult for adults to do this?"
"Indeed, let's do as you wish. The first master is dead and I will return to the sect to resume my life."
"Master Protector, please stay."
"Is it done so quickly?"
"To be honest with you, Lord Protector, I am not the one in charge of things. After I leave, there will naturally be someone to take care of those young people. After much thought, I decided to go back to the sect with you to recover. Maybe I can still stay with you."
"You want to follow me? A little brat?"
"Master Protector, please don't say that. In terms of cultivation level, in a few years you will reach the golden elixir stage, and I...hehe, it is too difficult to form an elixir..."
"oh?"
"There is a saying in the world of cultivation: It is difficult to cultivate the path of immortality, it is even more difficult to cultivate the path of demon, and it is even more difficult to cultivate the path of ghost!"
"Why do you say that?"
“High-quality exercises emphasize the balance of yin and yang, and the mutual development of the five elements. A good exercise mainly depends on whether the five elements are clear and whether yin and yang are harmonious.
Ghosts cultivate yin but not yang, and use the energy of the netherworld for their own use. Although the Wei family is a family of ghost cultivators, they cannot escape this law of cultivation.
It is almost impossible to achieve a pure yin method like Ghost Dao Kung Fu, unless you practice it with someone who practices pure yang kung fu, or plunder a stranger's yang energy. This is also the reason why I have been unable to form elixirs. If the Demon Lord knew this, he would not have snatched me away to practice this demonic skill. "
"It's easy to say, when I become successful, Brother Wei will definitely find someone who has pure Yang for you to use!"
"Hahaha, thank you in advance Wei!"
"Is the ghost cultivator's technique very powerful? Why does the Demon Lord want to arrest you?"
"It's just that ghost cultivators are almost lost in the current world of cultivation and are even rarer, so Demon Lord captured me for study. Unfortunately, my parents died early, leaving me as the only child of the Wei family, still a five-year-old child. Farewell When it comes to the techniques of ghost cultivation, I only know a little bit about the cultivation techniques. Hey, actually the Demon Lord is very kind to me. I blame myself for not living up to expectations!"
Yan Wugui made a "poof" sound and was made to laugh by him. He talked about the tragic experience so lightly that there was probably no one else in the world besides Wei Yousi.
"Then tell me, which one is better, the devil's path or the ghost's path?"
"Of course the immortal way is better, haha!"
Yan Wugui's face was so gloomy that Wei Yousi was startled. He had never seen a teenage boy with such a bitter and hateful expression.
"Compared to ghost cultivators, demon cultivators' cultivation grows very quickly. As long as there is sufficient demonic energy, the cultivation speed will be unimaginable. I believe you are well aware of this."
Yan Wugui nodded noncommittally.
"Demon cultivators at the same level are stronger than ghost cultivators, and even better than immortal cultivators. Moreover, ghosts are Yin spirits. If you are overly exposed to them, your own yang energy and blessings will also weaken. Therefore, I advise fellow Taoists not to cultivate It’s still too late to change to the ghost way and cultivate the immortal way.
"If you want to cultivate the immortal way, you must first cultivate the human way. If you don't cultivate the human way, the immortal way will be far away. You and I are already people with blood on our hands, how can we talk about the human way and the immortal way?"
"Hahaha, I have nothing to say! However, this demonic backlash is not unsolvable."

It’s hard to escape the fate of carrying a jade in your arms
"The demon sect's sacred object is actually in my hand all the time, Xi Yue..."
"Daddy"
Today, Yan Yueli put on her usual makeup again, with an orchid shining between her forehead and her eyebrows. She wore a red dress with golden phoenix gauze, which was bright and charming.
"Achen's forthright words today have made me look at him with admiration."
"I was stupid before. Being kind to others does not mean being forbearing and giving in. Only by making myself stronger can I protect the people around me. If I could have entered the world earlier, I wouldn't have fallen into Lu Aotian's trick and not know it at all."
Yan Yueli held her long sword upside down and landed gracefully. Her red clothes were as gorgeous as red lotuses under the sunshine after the rain, and the gold embroidered phoenix on her clothes was lifelike. This scene is so familiar, Ji Beichen's mind
Ji Beichen stepped forward, took hold of her spring-like catkins, and decided not to let go.
Moonlight is possessed
"You have just been teaching the technique for a long time, and your true energy has already run out."
"Are you just going to protect her at the risk of your own life?"
Reunion
Yan Yueli walked in the silent valley holding a red umbrella. The drizzle all night made her feel extremely heavy. Although the sky had cleared at this time, she was still immersed in the painful longing for her father...
"He is right. The death of a loved one is not an autumn rain that comes and goes quickly, but the long dampness of the rest of life."
"I also said that I would like to be the ray of light that warms you."
"Ah Chen! I knew you would come back!" Yan Yueli threw down the red umbrella in her hand and ran toward Ji Beichen in large strides, ignoring the muddy water under her feet.
"You, in white clothes, should..."
Before the word "dirty" came out of his mouth, something soft had already blocked his mouth. After a long time, the two reluctantly separated. Yan Yueli pressed her face against his strong chest, feeling extremely relieved.
"Don't leave me again."
"As commanded."
I like his thoughtfulness and gentleness in his bones. He looks strong but is soft at heart.
