Since I reached the third level of Yin-Yang Taoism, Qiu Cunzhi no longer forced me to practice. I picked up the Ghost Tao spells and started practicing.
As for practicing the ghost way, of course you have to bring Song Wanyi and Jiang Han with you. Now only two ghosts have not advanced.
I used a big flag to set up a large gathering of ghost formations, gathered all the ghost energy into the cave, and drew a large formation of gathering souls. Prepare to absorb the two ghost generals into your body for training.
"Inhabiting Ziwei, thousands of ghosts are hidden, ghosts borrow magic! Collect souls!" I put my hands together, activated the formation, and took Song Wanyi and Jiang Han into my body. Start practicing. Make every stroke count.
Master saw that I was making such a big show and came over to see how I cultivated. When he saw it, he immediately shook his head and waited quietly.
After several hours, I released Song Wanyi and Jiang Han. Seeing that their cultivation levels had improved significantly, I felt quite comfortable and had a hint of pride on their expressions.
Qiu Cunzhi looked like he was before, but he quickly poured cold water on me: "No wonder your ghost general advanced so quickly. He used such opportunistic methods, but didn't he know that this was also a kind of counterproductive? Cultivation is fast, but it is not solid. The partners under your command all have their own special characteristics in cultivation and have different attributes, such as the general Jiang Han. He has the wood attribute, and this Song Niang is It's not appropriate for you to use all of the water attributes to forcibly elevate them. The further you advance, the characteristics will gradually disappear. In addition, your current cultivation level is too poor, and the priority is unclear, so you get half the result with twice the effort."
After all, it was a cultivation method that I picked at random, and I never thought about the various problems that would arise later in attribute cultivation. Only when Qiu Cunzhi raised it did I know the extent of this hidden danger.
This world is fair, and there are gains and losses, so there is no perfect cultivation method.
"Then Master, what should I do?" I asked quickly. With Master's guidance, I have grown a lot recently, so I trust him very much when it comes to cultivation.
"First improve your own strength and enter the Tao, then you will know it, right?" Master asked me, and he took a pot of tea and drank it.
"Master, are you kidding me? It's not that easy to enter the Tao. I'm only in the late stage of seeking the Tao. I won't be able to get a glimpse of the Tao until the late stage. According to this situation, Master, I estimate that it will take half a year before I can enter the Tao." I immediately became depressed. , if I want to be able to enter the Tao, I won’t be so dependent on Jiang Han and the others.
"Half a year? Are you bragging? With the way you practice, you won't be able to enter the Tao in ten years!" After hearing this, the master almost sprayed tea in my face with laughter.
"Ah?" I was stunned for a moment. Could it be that I can't master this kind of practice in ten years? I took that old immortal Lian Geng’s powerful pill, which cost 240 million. I still can’t enter the Tao?
"What ghost generals pursue is the ghost way. There are no restrictions on the way to become a ghost king. Once you reach the level of cultivation, it will be a matter of course. However, people all have their own ways. Now you rely on the ghost generals to attack your cultivation level for you. Is this your way? Why? Master, let me tell you this, even if your physical cultivation has reached the ultimate stage of seeking the Tao, you still can't break through the barriers of entering the Tao. This is the origin of the saying that everyone has his own destiny. This is also why some cultivators stop entering the Tao throughout their lives, and then they are helpless. The reason why he used soldiers to break into the ghost realm and then used another way of cultivation to pursue the ultimate in cultivation." Qiu Cunzhi explained with a smile.
When I heard this, I immediately felt bad. My Taoism is complicated. How should I enter the Tao? Entering the Tao through the ghost way? Or use yin and yang to enter the Tao?
Master intends for me to upgrade the yin and yang Taoism to the third level recently. Does he want me to enter the Tao from this point? Then don’t I have to give up the ghost path? Abandon the Chao Ancestor Taoism or the Four Little Immortals Taoism?
"Master, do I want to use Yin-Yang Taoism as the entry point into Taoism? Give up all Taoism? Isn't this possible?" I asked after pondering.
"There is no need for this. You can steadily improve all the Taoism and enter the Tao at the same time. Isn't that enough? Once the master of all the Tao is enlightened, the achievements will be limitless. Of course, giving up is also a virtue. It depends on your understanding and opportunity. "Yes, this is the consequence of your over-reliance on ghost generals. Nowadays, there is no distinction between priorities and everything is half a bucket of water. Only a few ghost generals stand out and are far better than you. Don't you feel ashamed?" Qiu The way to resolve doubts.
When I heard that it was so difficult to enter Taoism, I couldn't help but feel distressed, but now it's hard to get off the tiger. Since Master said so, there must be a way, so I asked: "Master, how can I quickly enter the stage of Taoism?"
"In addition to cultivation, you also need to realize. If you are less dependent, you will grow much faster. Others can enter the Tao faster because they are independent, but you often rely on ghost generals and lack the perseverance. Go ahead. Go for a walk alone so that I can teach your ghost generals and let them consolidate their foundation." Qiu Cunzhi waved his hand, as if he wanted to drive me away.
I was stunned on the spot, where do you think I was going? This is the rhythm of Tang Monk driving away Sun Wukong!
"Master, where am I going?" I almost cried out of fear. Without the ghost general, would I have to die without a burial place?
"How did I know where you were going? Aren't you very good at jumping? Why did you ask about being a teacher instead? All in all, I won't let you take a single ghost with you this time. Once you enter the Tao and come back, then, not only will you As their strength increases, they will also become more proficient in controlling the Ghost King stage." Qiu Cunzhi persuaded.
I thought it was a trap, but Master said it, and it seemed like I really had to jump.
However, I have never left Guijiang since Xiaoyitun. When I really wanted to do this, I hesitated.
Song Wanyi, Jiang Han and other ghost generals were all around, looking reluctant to leave, but there was more of a caring and protective look inside.
I understood the worry in their eyes, so I sighed. I knew that over-reliance had given the ghost generals the idea that it would be dangerous for me to go out alone. I needed to change this situation and become a stand-alone person. people.
I need to be their support, not them my supporter.
"I'll go up by myself. You all stay and listen to Master's instructions." I said, looking at Xijun who was holding on to my clothes.
"Brother, I won't bring the mountain ghost with me this time. Can I go with you?" Xijun stared at me, looking forward to it.
"Xijun, please stay here, be obedient and don't cause trouble. My brother will take you with him when he reaches the Dao stage of cultivation." I said, feeling a little reluctant to let go, but I couldn't let the ghost general underestimate me.
"Brother, how long will you be there?"
"Occasionally I will come back to practice." Although I know this is unlikely, once I go up, it will be out of my hands. The underworld is not as good as the underworld. With my strength, unless I go under the Four Little Immortals Taoist Temple, it will be dangerous wherever I go. fear.
"Your friend, the Corpse King, will also look after it for you as a teacher. If you can't change the world, the box should be stored here. Oh, by the way, you can't bring something that goes against heaven like the Yin Yang Order." Qiu Cunzhi added.
I was speechless. I just thought that the Yin-Yang Order could save me. But with Master's serious expression now, he definitely didn't want me to resist.
Who makes Master great? It's also called "exercising my will".
I could only take out my shoulder bag and keep two boxes, a ghost coffin, and the Yin Yang Order.
After glancing at the backpack, there were still a dozen blue talismans, half a kilogram of magical salt, and a pile of formation flags.
"Master, I am a bachelor now. There are many dangers up there. Do you plan to protect me secretly?" I asked expectantly. This situation is really too dangerous!
"Delusion, you have entrusted such a huge family fortune, so many family ghosts, and more than a dozen corpse kings, and you still plan to let your master protect you secretly? You are so beautiful." Qiu Cunzhi glared at me.
Several ghost generals snickered. Liu Xiaomiao also stayed this time. I was alone and couldn't even bring my life card.
"By the way, when you have time, go to the ten directions sea and bring back two ancient books. Don't leave them there." Master also gave me this arduous task.
Thinking of the countless ghost sharks in the sea, my expression suddenly changed. With such strength, wouldn't it be a death wish to go to the sea in all directions?
"Go ahead, I know you will definitely be able to enter the Tao!" Qiu Cunzhi smiled kindly.
I gritted my teeth, picked up my backpack, and took out Chen Shanyun's life card, trying to summon her outside the cave, but Qiu Cunzhi took the life card away.
"Disciple, what are you doing? You want to summon ghost generals now? You are dependent! You are too dependent! If you don't get beaten, you will lose your memory!" Qiu Cunzhi turned to the teacup in anger and picked up the ruler. Come.
"That doesn't work either... Then how do I find the island? Master doesn't know, maybe Chen Shanyun only remembers the location of the island where the books are kept!" I muttered and ran away.
"Don't you have a map in your backpack? Do you still want Hu Jiu to be your master? Even if there is no mark, the boundary of Yangjian passes through the small island, how can you forget the location?" Qiu Cunzhi was furious.
Seeing that I was about to be beaten, I immediately put down my life card obediently and fled out of the cave as fast as I could: "Yin and yang translocation, five elements transformation, yin and yang borrowing method! Reversal!"
A dozen meters around, the yin energy suddenly returned to yang. I converted the yin and yang directly outside the cave, making this place have yang energy that is no less than the way to return yang.
I put on the household items that the yin and yang can cross the path, and I use the method to cross the yang world.
After so many days, things here should have calmed down a bit. After a thick fog, I came to the square of the Sixiaoxian Taoist Temple.
However, standing in front of the Taoist temple and looking at the scene in front of me, even though I was prepared, I still felt extremely uncomfortable.
The Taoist temple entrusted to me by Senior Brother Liu was burned down, and all the rooms were burned to black. Even the temple of the Taoist Patriarch was destroyed. Everything was missing from the porch, and the tiles on it collapsed. The statue of the Fourth Immortal Patriarch also fell down, and the two guest rooms next to it were not spared. Even the familiar wooden cabinets and other objects were reduced to ashes.
"Are you willing to give up?" A sneer sounded from behind me.
