The Taoist Priest of the Supernatural World

Chapter 130: Shouting to Calm the Mind
After hearing Uncle Jiu's words, Song Feng thought about it for a while, and then agreed with him after thinking that he had nothing to do:
"Then I will go and take a look..."

After getting the approval from my seventh uncle, the group grew from two people to three.

However, when Zhegu heard that Uncle Jiu was going to the mountain to look for a Feng Shui tree, she also joined in:

"I have been into this forest several times, so I am definitely more familiar with it than you are. Finding a Feng Shui tree will be a help!"

After hearing this reason, Uncle Jiu thought for a moment and then agreed to Zhe Gu:

"Okay, then let's go up the mountain together and find a suitable Feng Shui tree to stabilize the Feng Shui of Gaoshan Town as soon as possible."

Although it has only been a few days, for practitioners, this kind of reversed yin and yang environment is indeed quite uncomfortable.

Because compared to ordinary people whose spiritual perception is not strong, practitioners can almost be said to be in harmony with nature to some extent.

Who can stand the reversal of yin and yang every day?

Among the four people present, Qiu Sheng, who had the lowest level of cultivation, had already drawn out a stream of vital energy, so his running speed was naturally extremely fast.

Under the leadership of Uncle Jiu, a master who was proficient in feng shui metaphysics and accomplished in astronomy and numerology, they also walked according to the directions of the stars.

Of course, Uncle Jiu also passed on his experience to Qiu Sheng as they walked:

"In Feng Shui, the 28 constellations of Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches each represent their own direction and have their own intentions."

"How high the mountain is and how to travel on it. These are all very particular. Now, you just need to learn how to calculate the direction first..."

Although Uncle Jiu cannot be considered a teaching master, he will teach his disciples everything he knows and has learned.

Qiu Sheng also studied very seriously.

However, as they continued to move forward, searching for Feng Shui trees according to the directions of the stars.

Suddenly they heard strange singing coming from the deep mountains:
"Six Caves~Yinshan is here~Seek the old immortal at Dongyin Divine Mountain~Dongyin Mountain~Dongyin Mountain~"

Hearing this abrupt and strange singing, Uncle Jiu shook his head at first, but then his expression changed:
"Junior sister, do you still remember the title of the ghost god who wanted to walk from the underworld to the world of the living?"

Hearing Uncle Jiu's question, Zhe Gu thought for a moment, then spoke softly:
"If I remember correctly, it seems to be the ancient energy of the Six Heavens, known as the Ghost King of Dongyin, right?"

After hearing this, Uncle Jiu became serious, and then took a peach wood sword from Qiu Sheng's back and chased in the direction of the voice:

"Junior sister, hurry up and leave! I'm afraid this isn't the Northern Shamanic method of calling on the mountain to calm the mind!"

"No wonder we haven't heard any news about the Ghost King of Dongyin. It turns out that he has been bewitching people to calm down in the deep mountains!"

After hearing Uncle Jiu's words, Zhe Gu's expression changed slightly. Then, she rolled up her flowery jacket and rushed over with Uncle Jiu:

"...Brother, wait for me!"

Seeing Uncle Nine and Uncle Master leaving in a hurry, Qiu Sheng looked at his Seventh Uncle in surprise:

"Seventh Uncle, what does it mean to call the mountain to calm the spirit? Why are Master and the others so anxious?"

After hearing Qiu Sheng's question, Song Feng leaned on his cane and walked slowly towards the direction of the singing:

"The northern shaman lineage has a tradition of being close to nature and spirits. It can be said to be a lineage with a very wide heritage."

"For example, the four pillars and eight pillars of the northern border and the offerings of the five great immortals can all be considered a branch of shamanism."

"However, the offerings from the immortals outside the pass cannot represent the shaman lineage."

When he said this, he paused, listened to the noise in the distance, and then spoke softly:
"Shamanism is a practice that allows you to get close to nature. In the East, it's called shamanism, and in the West, it's called druid."

"Anyway, they are the kind of people who spend their days with the spirits of mountains, rivers, plants and trees. They can be considered as practitioners who maintain harmony with nature..."

After explaining the general significance of the Shaman lineage, Song Feng continued:
"And this "Calling the Mountain to Calm the Spirit" is a well-known spell among shamans. It is used to help the elves and their troops set up camp."

“The main practice is that shamans perform sacrifices in an uninhabited forest to name a mountain.”

"Then they opened an altar and erected a monument, calling out to the mountain spirits in a certain tone every day, and calling out the names of the mountains and forests that had been settled day and night."

"After 49 days, the barren mountain will become a mountain with an owner, and mountain spirits will naturally be born!"

After hearing the explanation from his seventh uncle, Qiu Sheng couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Then he asked with a curious look on his face:
"Is this true? Can we create a god?"

"If that's the case, can I also make a statue for myself, call my name every day, and make myself into a god?"

Hearing Qiu Sheng's wild idea, Song Feng smiled slightly, then looked at him deeply:
"Why do you think it's impossible?"

Seeing his seventh uncle's calm and composed face, which didn't look like he was joking at all, Qiu Sheng couldn't help but be shocked:
"Is there really such a magic?"

Seeing Qiu Sheng's inexperienced look, Song Feng listened to the chanting that had stopped in the distance, and then said with a smile:
"There are many different ways to practice cultivation in this world, but most of the unorthodox ways of cultivation have various hidden dangers."

"There is indeed a method in the world to seal one's own godhood, but most people who practice this method are crazy."

"Even those guys who are highly skilled in Taoism have had their souls polluted and turned into crazy people with confused minds."

"Without a high enough status and essence, how can you be deified at will? Are you really not afraid of death?"

Hearing what his seventh uncle said, Qiu Sheng subconsciously shrank his head. He didn't want to become a madman.

After explaining Qiu Sheng's doubts, Song Feng said leisurely while walking:
"Gods are man-made. The call to the mountain to settle the gods here does not mean to actually seal off a mountain god in myths and legends who controls the vitality of all living things."

"It's to help a beautiful mountain with extraordinary heritage to raise a spirit with a specific image."

"It's just that this spirit was created on the mountain, so it is called the mountain god..."

If in ancient times when spiritual energy was abundant, the mountain god that was called out might be able to refine the earth veins and become a mountain god if he practiced more.

It's a pity that it can't be done now.

Although the underground veins still exist, the spiritual power has long been unable to allow the mountain god to maintain his status.

Even the sacred mountains such as Mount Tai and Mount Hua can no longer maintain their magical powers, let alone the small mountains that are only well-known.

After hearing his seventh uncle's explanation, Qiu Sheng finally understood the meaning of shouting at the mountain to calm the mind.

But then, he curiously listened to the fighting sounds in the distance, and then asked softly:
"Since these people are here to call out a spirit, why did Master and the others rush forward when they heard the sound of calling out to the mountain to calm the spirit?"

"And what do the Master and the others mean by the Six Heavens Ancient Qi and the Ghost King of Dongyin?" After listening to the sound of fighting in the distance gradually fading away and it looking like Uncle Jiu and the others had won, Song Feng smiled and said:
"This shout to calm the mind is intended to call out a mountain god whose image is created by humans, but at the same time, this is also a trick."

"The ghosts and gods of the underworld hide deep in the underworld and rarely step foot on the earthly world. It is difficult for them to truly participate in the affairs of the living world."

"If the ghosts and gods have the intention to stir up a wave in the world of the living, they must cross the boundary of yin and yang."

"But this Yin-Yang Realm is the boundary between the underworld and the living world. Without extraordinary luck, it is difficult to cross the gap between reality and illusion."

The Yin-Yang Realm is the place closest to the underworld, and it is also a gray area between illusion and reality.

People in the world of the living can enter the world of yin and yang, and can even use special methods to enter the underworld, as long as they are brave enough and not afraid of death.

However, it is not so easy for the real creatures in the underworld, especially those powerful ghosts and gods, to enter the world of the living.

“So when your master and the others heard the shouts and realized that it was Dongyin Mountain, they understood that this must be the place where ghosts and gods come to the world.”

"After all, this Ghost King of Dongyin had a great reputation in the ancient times, and he was considered one of the six ghosts who were cast down to the mortal world."

"These old guys who have survived for so many years are very difficult to deal with. If we don't take the opportunity to kill them, it will be difficult to deal with them if they really cause trouble..."

Hearing his seventh uncle calling him an old fool, Qiu Sheng subconsciously glanced at his seventh uncle:

"Master seems to call you that too..."

After whispering a few words so that Seventh Uncle couldn't hear them, they arrived deep in the forest.

Look towards the mountain.

All I could see was a flat area in front of the beautiful mountain that looked like a long snake, and at this moment, there was a large altar.

There are fruits and vegetables on the table.

One could even vaguely see piles of documents for offering sacrifices to heaven placed next to it.

At this moment, Uncle Jiu and Aunt Zhe quickly and efficiently tied up the two men and women in black robes.

Compared to the wild boar knot used to tie up the man, the way to tie up the woman was relatively easier. After all, the woman had a big belly, so it was impossible to tie her too tightly.

It only passed over her belly, but her hands and feet were tied very tightly.

What if he runs away?
Looking at the two bewitched people who were interrupted and knocked down by them, Uncle Jiu couldn't help but feel relieved:
"Fortunately, we came up the mountain early to look for Feng Shui trees. Otherwise, if we had stayed a few more days, they might have really made the mountain god their own!"

It would be easy if we just wanted to name the mountain god, but the problem is that this is Dongyin Mountain.

If he were to really name the mountain Dongyin, then he would have had a connection with the Dongyin Ghost King in the underworld.

At that time, the Ghost King of Dongyin could descend to the world of the living with the help of this newly condensed spirit.

This is a truly catastrophic disaster!

After hearing Uncle Jiu's words, Zhegu, who was feeding the woman a bowl of water, looked at her big belly with an unpleasant expression:

"This ghost king of the cave has a very deep plan. He actually wants to enter the belly of a pregnant woman and give birth to her child the moment he descends into the world of the living."

"It's a pity that the baby in this pregnant woman's belly is about to be full-term, but someone has broken up her spirit and soul to make room for her!"

When it came to the end, even the carefree Zhe Gu couldn't help but feel very uncomfortable.

She has always liked taking care of infant spirits when she practices Infant Spirit Dharma. To be honest, she is extremely maternal.

It was precisely because of this that she looked down upon the fact that the Ghost King of Dongyin forcibly broke up the soul of a living being to make room for himself.

Looking at the pregnant woman in front of him, he felt the baby in her belly that was about to be born, as well as the scattered soul of the baby in her belly.

For a moment, Uncle Jiu gently patted Zhegu's shoulder and comforted her:

"There is nothing you can do now. After all, it is a life that is about to be born. When you go back, find a spirit baby to come in and reincarnate."

If the pregnant woman were allowed to give birth to this soul-less child, there is a high probability that the child would die at birth.

Of course, it is more likely that the soul of a wandering ghost will be attracted to the baby at birth, resulting in two lives being created with one corpse.

After all, for a wandering ghost that has been wandering in the world for a long time, a newborn body without a soul is simply better than ginseng fruit.

Once you occupy this body, you can truly achieve resurrection to a certain extent.

After hearing what Uncle Jiu said, and looking at the man who was knocked unconscious and the weak pregnant woman drinking water, Aunt Zhe sighed:
"That's all we can do..."

When she said this, Zhe Gu touched the arm that Uncle Jiu had placed on her shoulder with both hands, looking lustful.

After trying twice to pull his arm out without success, Uncle Jiu exerted a little force and finally pulled himself out of Aunt Zhe's hand:

"……Hey!"

After shaking his numb arms, Uncle Jiu looked towards the dragon and snake painted on the altar:
"Aunt Zhe, the ghost king of Dongyin has not yet completely come to the world of the living. The next task of calling the mountain to calm the spirit is left to you."

"Let's lure him out first so he doesn't get discovered. Once he enters the world of the living, we'll capture him in one fell swoop."

"After that, we will directly destroy his foundation in the world of the living, so that he won't come back to the world of the living and cause chaos!"

Now, the process of calling on the mountain to calm the spirit has been more than half completed, and even this mountain that looks like a long snake has been painted with a specific image.

Next, one just needs to sense the Ghost King of Dongyin in the dark, and then he can let him enter the world of the living with the help of the Yin-Yang realm.

This is called waiting for the rabbit to come to you!

After hearing what Uncle Jiu said, Zhe Gu nodded very seriously:

“…Leave it to me!”

Seeing Uncle Jiu and Aunt Zhe whispering to each other, preparing to give the Dongyin Ghost King a ruthless blow.

Song Feng, who was watching the whole mountain from the side, frowned slightly, and then took a deep look at the dragon and snake drawn on the table:
"So this is your true form..."
