Chapter 540 Looking Back and Meeting Xianzhen

While Chu Tai's real body was communicating with Shi Huajin in Jinhua Cave, Weng Jieguo was also fleeing into the distance with Chu Tai's clone, who was using the name of Yangmei Shanren.

On the way, he complained to Chu Tai: "This Jiang family is really rich. When they activated the Daobing formation, they secretly marked all the surrounding cultivators. This consumption is not a small amount. I think I can hear the sound of a large amount of natural treasures burning."

Chu Tai's eyes lit up slightly, and he asked, "Senior, do you know a lot about Dao soldiers?"

"I don't really know much about it, but I've read some of the sect's research results in the early years. According to our lineage's research, the greatest suppression of the Taoist soldier system by the Holy King back then was actually to make the rules of the entire Great Heaven no longer suitable for the practice of the Taoist soldier system."

"Can something like this be done?"

Chu Tai was a little surprised. Weng Jieguo smiled and said without hiding anything: "The mystery of Dao soldiers is simply the method of using the three talents of heaven, earth and man. At that time, the Holy King could represent humanity. They only needed to remove Dao soldiers from the scope of humanity and regard them as a magic weapon to completely cut off this system."

"How can this be!"

Chu Tai's pupils widened. All sentient beings are human. As the representative of humanity, how could the Holy King do something that goes against humanity itself?
Suddenly, a possibility flashed through Chu Tai's mind, and he asked, "Excuse me, senior, do you know how the Dao soldiers were refined back then?"

"It seems you have guessed the main reason."

Weng Jieguo smiled and said, "Few people explored this matter three thousand years ago. If you want to find information, you probably have to look for information from ten thousand years ago. I also heard some of it from my teacher by chance."

"The origins of the Taoist soldiers back then were many, but most of them were carried by mortals. The most typical one was to swallow the blood of alien races and use talismans and magic weapons to form a special formation. The more famous ones were the Fire Dragon Soldiers. According to my teacher, in the ancient times, there was a Fire Spirit Fairy who used the blood of fire dragons to refine 3,000 Fire Dragon Soldiers. With her unique magic weapon and the Earth Immortal, she should have been a fourth-grade celestial being according to today's standards, and she intercepted several current third-grade immortals."

"The second is to use the immortal family's talismans in combination with the military formations, and then repeatedly refine them with special magic weapons. The more famous ones are the Tianhe Yellow Sand Soldiers, which were created by the three overseas fairies. The third is the more famous Taoist magic weapon, which uses the cave magic weapon to train Taoist soldiers."

"Training Taoist soldiers?"

Chu Tai repeated it in a low voice, and Weng Jieguo smiled and said, "It is exactly training. At that time, the Taoist soldiers made by the cave magic weapon were training, and the fire dragon soldiers and Tianhe yellow sand soldiers on it were refining."

"As for the reason, the Fire Dragon Soldiers are made by mortals swallowing the essence and blood of Fire Dragons, combined with secret techniques. The whole process is equivalent to treating humans and dragon blood as materials and repeatedly forging them together. Even with the protection of immortal talismans, how many people can stay awake? In the end, it is hard to say whether the ones who survived are the original people or puppets with only instincts left."

"The Tianhe Yellow Sand Soldiers are slightly better. After all, they are Taoist soldiers that cooperate with special magic weapons, and they are assisted by immortal talismans and military formations. In the end, most of them can remain normal, but their foundations are inevitably affected by the magic weapons, and they will be restricted by others in the future."

Chu Tai compared some of the situations of the ancient human race. If it really came to war, it would be understandable that they would make these choices. He could also understand the idea of ​​the late Saint King to prohibit this, but why did he have to do it so extreme.

Weng Jieguo was silent for a while before he slowly spoke, "You are much more perceptive than me. It took me more than half a year to figure out this problem after I learned about the Dao soldiers. I went to ask my teacher, and he told me that it was because the witches wanted to rise again in the later period, so they created a very special kind of Dao soldiers - the Seven Emotions Wushu Spell Soldiers."

"The original name of this demon soldier has been erased. My teacher just gave it a new name based on its characteristics. Its foundation is the Seven Emotions Curse. In the early stages of practicing this curse, one needs to kill countless lives, use their dying resentment, mix their bones and blood, and repeatedly refine it with the power of the curse to create a curse spirit. After that, the curse spirit is worshipped with secret methods, so that it has a special divinity and can share its power with others."

"It sounds a bit like Shintoism."

Chu Tai lowered his head and thought for a while. He felt that this spell sounded familiar. Weng Jieguo didn't care and just continued to explain.

"Anyone who obtains the power of the curse spirit can gain a certain bonus from their own seven emotions and six desires, and their cultivation can even be improved a lot. However, the price is that their mind will gradually be bewitched by the curse spirit. As long as they continue to hold the power of the curse spirit, they will eventually lose their mind and become a new curse spirit. Moreover, these new curse spirits will also derive some new witchcraft spells, which also have the ability to confuse the mind and ruin people's cultivation." "The Secret Demon of the Heavens?"

Chu Tai was shocked, but this time Weng Jieguo responded to him.

"Your reaction is exactly the same as mine at the beginning, but my teacher doesn't know for sure, let alone me. All I can say is that the Seven Emotions Curse caused a big mess back then, and the great witch who created the Seven Emotions Curse was greatly improved, but it also accelerated the destruction and decline of witchcraft invisibly."

"After all, no one would want the people around them to suddenly become demon soldiers, and no one would want the magic they practice to become an opportunity for others to steal their cultivation and life."

After saying that, Weng Jieguo stopped, turned around and looked in the direction of Jiang Mansion and said, "Okay, this is all the information I know. It should be enough for you to go back and explain to your master. I still have to help that kid later. How about we say goodbye now?"

Hearing this, Chu Tai hurriedly stretched out his hand to draw a talisman, and then pretended to pray. Strands of Taiyi Xuanhui Miaodao true qi fell down and blessed it.

Chu Tai handed it to Weng Jieguo, saying that if he encountered any problems in the future, he could take the talisman to Taiyi Jinhua Sect to ask for help. At the same time, in the name of the sect leader, he told the other party what he had seen and heard when he first entered Wenxia Gorge.

Weng Jieguo did not react to the matter of Wenxia Gorge. He held the talisman, felt the mystery of the true qi in it, and said with a smile: "Your master has the courage to make such an important promise? You should know that once my lineage gets into trouble, it will not be a small matter. Can your master handle it?"

After this period of contact, Chu Tai had some understanding of the other party's character, and joked: "Based on your cultivation level, it shouldn't be a big problem for you to escape to Jinhua Sect intact. The Sect Master is unlikely to fail to protect you. If you really can't, you probably won't be able to escape to Jinhua Sect."

Hearing this, Weng Jieguo smiled. Both sides knew that there was another possibility, that is, the other party wanted to use Weng Jieguo to drag Jinhua Sect into the water.

But at that time, the other party was not targeting Weng Jieguo alone, Jinhua Sect was their main target, so it didn't matter whether they had this thing or not.

"In that case, I won't be polite. By the way, I'll give you this thing as well."

As he spoke, Weng Jieguo took something out of his arms and handed it to Chu Tai.

"This is the basic magic skill that my Wenxiaxia lineage will teach its new disciples. It contains some of our ideas. Since your leader has obtained the Light Arrow, I think he has already comprehended something. By comparing it with a few magic skills, he should be able to summarize something. As for the price..."

Weng Jieguo thought for a moment and said with a smile: "If I suddenly disappear one day and the Wenxiaxia lineage loses contact again, I would like to ask you, the Jinhua lineage, to help find a successor."

After saying this, Weng Jieguo turned into a stream of light and disappeared.

Chu Tai, who watched him leave, calmed down his emotions and was about to go back to Baiyun Temple to talk to Xiao Bin again, and then continue to investigate the matter of Qingli Caixian. However, when he turned around, he suddenly had a strange feeling.

"Strange, is this place originally like this?"

The doubts in Chu Tai's heart made him walk forward, but before he had gone far, wisps of mist rose from all directions, and then he saw a Taoist sitting in front of a chessboard, thinking hard.
