There are three sects of practitioners in Xima Mountain. One sect is the Ghost Immortal sect, whose spirits are immortal and cannot enter the underworld. The other sect is the Corpse Immortal sect, whose body does not decay and seeks to survive in death. The other is the Secular sect, which enjoys the worldly life and associates with the powerful. .
The predecessors and sages of the Ghost Immortal Sect were all tricked by the Skull God, and they were refined into hundreds of soul banners for the master of Xi Mashan to drive. The Corpse Immortal Sect is even worse. Judging from Gong Mengbi's calculation, every one of them has been refined into a skull god.
The evil deeds of the Skull God are spreading to this day. Perhaps in the era when the Skull God himself was alive, there were still unsuccessful seekers in Xima Mountain. Although they could not get the Dharma and took the wrong path, they still worked hard and walked on thin ice. But now, if we kill all the cultivators in Ximashan, there may be accidental injuries, but if we kill 90%, there will probably be some fish that slip through the net.
The Skull God did evil and ruined the Taoist tradition of Xima Mountain. At the same time, he received the retribution of this world and reaped the consequences. He was refined into the Skull God and suffers to this day.
Gong Mengbi asked about the Skull God. The Skull God was silent for a moment and then told everything he knew.
Gong Mengbi had asked these things when he was young. At that time, he was still worried about being deceived by this old boy, but now he no longer has the courage. At the same time, he has achieved some success in tempering his heart and can barely pretend to be a good person.
Sure enough, he asked the Skull God what he had not asked before, "Xima Mountain is a place where yin accumulates. Because my practice in Xima Mountain is to survive in death and transcend in the yin, it is particularly suitable for the method of practice. But before I was sent to settle in Xima Mountain, there was a peach forest of ghost-faced peaches in this yin-filled place, which had been nurtured by yin energy for thousands of years."
"The peach tree belongs to Yang, but it is born in a place where Yin accumulates. It is the Yang in Yin, the life in death. The seniors of our sect who practiced the ghost and immortal method once relied on this place to understand the wonderful principle of Yang in Yin. The Corpse Immortal Sect turned themselves into zombies and was buried here. Later, I tricked those seniors into entering the Hundred Soul Banner, and the Corpse Immortal Sect may have also been refined into skull demons. What is left of this ghost-faced peach forest, I will I don’t know if it was removed and used for other purposes.”
"Other than the ghost-faced peach grove, there is only the four-wood formation of mulberry, willow, locust, and poplar, which can cope with the four hardships of birth, old age, illness, and death. However, it should not be an obstacle to you."
Gong Mengbi played with the small golden furnace in his hand, thought slowly, and asked: "Apart from the Ghost Immortal Sect's practice of the Spiritual Staying Kung Fu, what else does the Corpse Immortal Sect practice?"
This Skull God really knows, "The cultivation of the Corpse Immortal Sect is also transferred from the Ghost Immortal Sect. It's just that one is separated from the residual body and the other is guarding the dead body. They are refining the body after death in order to be reborn - this was the original plan. of."
"But it's so difficult to reshape one's body after death, and no one has ever succeeded in resurrecting one's body. In the end, he changed from refining body to corpse refining, practicing both the corpse transformation method and the spirit-retention technique, and turned himself into a flying and escaping person. The corpse demon can barely be regarded as immortal."
Gong Mengbi then understood, "Do you have any methods for practicing body refining and corpse transformation?"
The skull turned around in the air and said: "I don't know how to shape the shape, and no one in Xima Mountain knows how to do it when I'm alive. I do know how to transform the corpse. Let me explain it to you."
Gong Mengbi stretched out his hand and asked him to sit down, saying, "Then let's talk and listen."
The skull floated in the air, and his ghost turned into an old man with long sleeves and wide robes, standing in front of Gong Mengbi, as high as his waist, and sitting on a stool, like a child.
Gong Mengbi poured him a cup of tea, and the Skull God slowly spoke and told Gong Mengbi all the methods of practicing the corpse transformation method.
Gong Mengbi listened to him and slowly deduced it in his mind.
The method of transforming corpses is not a profound Taoist method. It is actually the art of refining corpses. The body after death is transformed into a wandering corpse, a flying corpse, or an untransformed bone. There are some techniques, but it is indeed a heresy.
Gong Mengbi sighed and said: "The bones are ossified and the seven souls are condensed. How can the spirit be suppressed? The condensation of Yin Qi will hurt the spirit even more. I'm afraid that the more you practice, the further you will go to the inhuman path."
"It has always been demons who try their best to turn into humans. Today, it is really sad to see people trying their best to transform into demons."
Skull God said: "Living is more important than anything else. As long as you can live, it will be a pity even if you become a monster."
Gong Mengbi slowly shook his head and did not argue with him.
The Skull God was bored, and then asked: "Have you figured out how to deal with Xi Mashan?"
Gong Mengbi said: "Xima Mountain is easy to deal with, but what do I want?"
The Skull God was shocked and said, "What do you want?"
Gong Mengbi smiled and asked, "Do you want to go back to Ximashan with me, or stay at Lanyin Temple to look in the mirror?"
The Skull God's face became gloomy and uncertain, and he was thinking about whether to go this way. Finally, he sighed and said, "I will go back to Xima Mountain with you."
Gong Mengbi nodded and said, "Okay."
Gong Mengbi was not in a hurry. He thought about the corpse transformation method in his mind for a few days, and then gradually peeled off a trace of the principle of the body refining method.
The Taoist sect has the art of taiyin refining, which can be regarded as a righteous method, but it has various restrictions and many catastrophes, making it extremely difficult to succeed. It is impossible to succeed in cultivation while you are alive, but it will be even more difficult to achieve enlightenment by relying on the Taiyin Refining Technique after death.
Most of them are desperate, so they try this. They find a treasure place and hide the body in it. Like a singing cicada, they lurk in it. The body is as it was before death, with nails, claws and hair growing as usual. They understand the way of generating yang from yin. According to There is a period of refinement for each individual's merits and deeds.
It often takes hundreds of years to refine the body. During this process, if the body is discovered and the Taoism is broken, all the previous efforts will be wasted. Or maybe he is never able to return to the sun, and ends up dying in it.
Only a very small number of them can lurk underground like cicadas, and once they break through the ground, they emerge and fly.
Although Gong Mengbi doesn't know the Taiyin Refining Technique, he understands the general principle.
The corpse transformation method has shadows of the shape refining method, but there are not many of them. Most of them are still methods of refining the yin and refining the corpse.
Gong Mengbi doesn't have any skills in corpse refining. When it comes to Taiyin magic, who in Ximashan is closer to Taiyin than him who practices the method of flying to the moon. On the contrary, some of the methods of refining the body have some reference value for his practice.
He directly abandoned the corpse transformation method, grabbed the shadow of the shape refining method obtained from it, and combined it with what he had learned, and naturally gave birth to a strange thing that seemed to be alive but not alive, and seemed to be dead but not dead.
The Skull God saw that it only took him a few days to innovate the corpse transformation method, changing it beyond recognition, but his heart was already numb.
The Skull God has seen too many miracles in Gong Mengbi.
Gong Mengbi, on the other hand, stretched out his hand and tapped the skull of the Skull God three times, knocking out a stream of deathly aura, which was incorporated into the small golden furnace, blended with the smoke in the small golden furnace, and then draped over his body. , and turned into a young man with a pale face and no color.
The Skull God's jaw dropped, and Gong Mengbi reached out to catch it. Just listen to him say: "You...you..."
Gong Mengbi put his lower jaw back, rubbed the skull, turned him into a smaller one, hung it on his waist like an accessory, and said: "Of course the death energy borrowed from you will have two or three resemblances. you."
This was not what the Skull God wanted to say, but that in an instant, Gong Mengbi seemed to have broken through life and death, turning himself from a living person into a dead person - a dead person who was proficient in the refining method.
Feeling dizzy and having a sore throat, I still haven’t taken precautions. I have a cold. Wow.
