Destiny is ashes

Chapter 225: Calling the Devil to Descend (23)

At this time, Huo Qing also ended the communication.

When he returned to the hut, he looked a little confused. "My uncle didn't scold me... He just told me to work hard. If he makes money at the recycling hut when he comes back, he will let me be a part-time shop owner, and he will go to the city to open another store."

"What's going on? Why does uncle have such a sudden idea?"

Huo Qing was confused and a little uneasy.

It was not difficult for him to run the recycling hut, but he felt that his strength might be a little lacking... But just as Tie Shou thought, Huo Qing's courage was gradually tempered by experience.

He didn't feel that he couldn't do it, he just wanted to live up to his uncle's expectations of him as much as possible.

But that’s all later.

That’s it for now, let’s eat first.

Aunt Huai prepared a table full of dishes, including meatball potato soup that was delicious only by adding salt, oatmeal and egg porridge, fried ham sausage with chili sauce, milk bread, and meat dumplings in a pickled vegetable jar... Although most of the dishes were made with semi-finished products, they were surprisingly delicious.

An Jing could see that Aunt Huai was not enjoying herself enough - the food reserves in the recycling hut were still too small. The Tianyuan Realm might not be short of food, but it was very short of fresh and delicious ingredients.

"An Jing, look..."

During the meal, Huo Qing was a little hesitant and wanted to give An Jing some certificates of good deeds.

He was the nominal owner of the house, but the actual money was paid by An Jing.

Although they were in partnership and didn't need to divide it so clearly, Huo Qing felt bad and wanted to transfer all his savings, totaling 618 good deeds and 3,217.55 credit points, to An Jing.

Of course, these decimal points cannot be transferred, so he can only use the physical certificate of good deeds to make an approximate payment.

An Jing was very touched by this, and then refused: "It's just a small amount of money, why are you in such a hurry?"

"We need to have a bigger vision and open our horizons. We are people who want to do big things. We shouldn't always worry about such a small amount of money!"

"Let's eat and not talk about this."

After doing all this, An Jing had nothing to do in the Tianyuan Realm for the time being.

Because Huo Qing really felt bad, An Jing used his money to purchase a batch of bullets and several thunder beads, as well as a large number of canned food and dry food as emergency reserves, all of which would be stored in Chonggang Town.

An Jing also returned the unused bulletproof spiritual vest to the other party.

Huo Qing originally wanted to refuse, saying that he had no need for this kind of equipment and that An Jing's situation was more dangerous and he needed it more.

But when he saw An Jing take out the demon-controlling armor, he was stunned.

This level and this complete magical material, even if it is not processed into a magical weapon, its toughness and preciousness are far beyond the imagination of ordinary people. An Jing really does not need that spiritual robe.

"This thing... is a top-notch merit!"

Huo Qing exclaimed: "An Jing, this can be exchanged for a chip for you, or even a residence permit in Xuan Ye City!"

"That kind of thing, I can have it if I want it."

An Jing no longer concealed his confidence in this friend, even though this confidence sounded like arrogance: "I don't want to be in the spotlight. This kind of magic material can be processed into spiritual armor, which means much more to me than the chip and household registration that I can't use for the time being."

“I don’t have that kind of relationship.”

The preciousness of this magic material and the connections required to process it are beyond Huo Qing's ability. He can only shake his head: "We have to wait for Uncle Tieshou to come back. He knows a lot of strange people who can definitely help you process it." "Fortunately, he has come back, but he still has some things to do in the city. I guess we have to wait another ten and a half days."

Tie Shou...things over there may be more troublesome than I thought.

An Jing frowned slightly, then relaxed: "Then we can only wait for him to come back."

Unlike Huo Qing, although Tie Shou has proven his credibility, he is still some distance away from making An Jing feel at ease.

Even Aunt Huai praised him a few times, but after all, they had never really worked together, and she didn't have the emotional support like she did with Huo Qing.

But wait a little longer, he is not in a hurry.

The Tianyuan incident has come to an end.

Two days have passed of Huaixu and his group's three-day deadline in the Tianyuan Realm.

And on the last day, An Jing, or to be more precise, it was the Sword Spirit of Fuxie who identified a part of the Taiming Juyou Sutra.

"At least, this part does not involve summoning ghosts and controlling the dead, so there is no problem."

Fu Xiedao visualized a formation diagram and specific instructions for An Jing in his mind: "Taiming Soul-Nourishing Formation - uses the energy of Shaoyin to nourish the soul. It can be used for both the dead and the living. It can activate the spirit and increase the will. It is a rare pure and kind method in the Taiming Juyou Sutra."

"If your friend can understand even one tenth of the secrets of this formation, passing the test will be a piece of cake for him, which will be of great benefit to him."

"His body is strong, but his soul is somewhat weak. He does not need the soul-nourishing formation to nourish him. In the end, his life will be fragile."

"If this method is used, his potential strength can be enhanced, which will benefit both you and me."

In the Taiming Juyou Sutra, there are many rituals and formations, among which there is a formation and a ritual called [Calling the You to Descend the Gods], which is one of the highest achievements of this sutra.

The lowest standard of the ritual also requires a statue that has been worshipped for more than fifty years, a total of one hundred heads and five kinds of animals for sacrifice, and then the offering of spiritual objects with attributes related to the "ghosts and gods of the underworld" that are being summoned.

Once the conditions are met, a 'descended body' can be created in the real world that can allow the ghost to possess it, or even come back to life.

The strength of this body depends on the number of sacrifices, the strength of the earth veins where the formation is located, and the quality of the spiritual object.

It looked very familiar at first glance. This was the formation that Lu Jin used to breed the Heavenly Demon's Heart and control the dead demons.

This formation itself is very orthodox. According to Fu Xie's words, it is the 'righteous path of the underworld'.

The ritual of calling upon the spirits may seem bloody and cruel, but it is actually a method of "summoning heroic spirits" in ancient times when humans called upon the heroic spirits of their own race and ancestors to descend upon the world.

The essence of the 'descending body' is composed of the various evil spirits of Xuanzhen. It can gather and disperse at will. With the help of the magical powers possessed by the heroic soul itself, it can exert extraordinary power, even surpassing the power in life. It is a very typical inheritance of the underworld, and it can only reach its complete form after death.

The descended body can allow the ghostly spirits of heroes to exist in the world for a long time, but they will eventually dissipate. At that time, people will offer sacrifices again to summon heroic spirits that better meet their current needs... This is the reason why ancient human nations offered sacrifices and fought wars all year round.

From the current perspective, the technical concept may be a bit backward, but it is also the right way to go.

But when it fell into the hands of the devil, for some reason it became a demonic method to summon the devil and create a demon fetus.

"This formation is good."

After seeing this, An Jing immediately realized its value: "With this method, as long as I can find another spirit with decent strength, I may be able to disguise a 'secret sect' in the Tianyuan Realm!"

"Moreover, it is not a cult, but a genuine religion that truly relies on the incense of humankind and protects the region!"
