Chapter 43: Chanting the Mantra, Practicing the Steps
In the dark room, a few candle flames flickered, sometimes to the east, sometimes to the west, and sometimes all stopped.

The candle flame cast a soft halo, casting a multi-footed shadow on the surrounding walls, forming mottled light and shadow.

These lights and shadows changed and twisted with the swaying candlelight and the dancing of the many-legged figures in the room. The horror of the scene was beyond the acceptance of ordinary people.

Yu Xiao huddled in the corner, staring at the twisting shadow on the wall. His pupils dilated unconsciously and his eyelids twitched wildly.

On the wall, I saw a multi-legged shadow stretching its arms and legs.

His upper body was motionless, but his lower body moved left and right, and his feet kept shaking, like snakes crawling on the wall.

What a horrifying sight it was! Yu Xiao felt as if the top of his head had been ripped open, and something was being forced in, squeezing in things that he could not understand and did not want to see.

Ji Mingfei did not intend to make such movements that could cause spiritual pollution. He was learning a Taoist step used in the ritual.

What is Gangbu?

An action that calls upon God.

To perform the ritual, in addition to opening the altar, one must also walk the Dou step (Gangbu), chant the mantra, and invite the saints.

These four steps can be said to be the core content of the ritual.

Ji Ming knew that the birth of any method was never a sudden thought out of nothingness. It must have its origin and even a series of developments in later generations.

Today, it is still widely circulated. Each step involved is sophisticated and mature. We should not ignore it just because it is complicated or obscure.

Starting from the accumulation from now, bit by bit, with constant polish, you will eventually achieve the Tao.

"How is my step? Have I made any mistakes?"

Jiming asked.

It was extremely difficult for the centipede to stand on its segmented body with its imaginary long legs, let alone walk in a certain direction, which was really difficult for it.

After walking for a while, the shell was almost broken.

"When practicing Bu Gang, the most important thing is to keep your mind focused.

As long as you have the Xingxiu Steps in your mind, you will be able to do it naturally. This Gang Step and chanting the mantra are the basic skills of the Jiao method. You will be able to master it after practicing it for a long time."

Yu Xiao was in a daze, like a living dead. He never dared to look up at the centipede monster from beginning to end, but just answered every question.

It seemed like this for a long time.

During this period, Ji Ming would also hide in Yu Xiao, go out and listen to intelligence.

After all, the external situation is so turbulent and disturbing nowadays. Even if he can stay out of it, he still needs to pay special attention.

The disciples in the dormitory were all very frightened. They basically gathered together, not daring to disperse. They also gathered together the scattered people from the Thirteen Villages, making it very lively.

Ji Ming could see that the air in the pharmacy was a bit foul.

Against the backdrop of the two major branch altars on Taiping Mountain, which are interspersed in the south of Lanyinfang and the north of Liling, and the Jijunguancai Cave, which is intended to isolate this area, all the witch disciples and independent followers feel a little depressed, and even extremely nervous and sensitive.

Once the Taipingshan Plan succeeds, closing the door and fighting tigers will be inevitable.

"Brother!"

In the main hall, Yu Xiao sat at the top, and even when someone called him, he did not respond.

"There is nothing unusual in the Thirteen Villages, and no outsiders have visited. It seems that the Four Sad Cloud Temples and the Crane Temple should put all their strength into the Guancai Cave."

The report was spread by a witch's disciple.

This is good news, but the good news did not give people psychological relaxation.

Ji Ming was too lazy to care about all this. If there were really Taoists attacking, he would beat them if he could, and run away if he couldn't.

This is a treasure land. If there is no emergency, Ji Ming really wants to stay here.

After hearing a series of information, Ji Ming ordered Yu Xiao to return to the dark room for retreat as usual, and ordered him to send the witch's disciple to bring poisonous food.

In the second box, he had gradually mastered the altar regulations, steps, chanting of incantations, etc. regarding the rituals.

After a deep understanding of the ritual, one can know that the underlying principle is to borrow the power of the gods, thus getting a glimpse of the method of talismans.

Ji Ming is currently honing his basic skills in two rituals: Gangbu and Xuanzhu.

The Gang Bu should be performed according to the distribution of the stars. After diligently memorizing the star map, you should memorize and practice it more. Chanting the mantra is even simpler, which is to praise the name and merits of a certain god.

The most widely spread mantra among the heretic sects is the "Mantra of the Deity Who Saves Suffering".

This great power who appeared in the world basically responded to every request, regardless of good or evil, and treated everyone equally. He was one of the most powerful gods in the three days.

Whenever he went out to the crowd, he would always have a book of his praises and mantras in his bag.

When Ji Ming practiced the ritual, he often practiced with this mantra. In the dark, he really did receive some spiritual responses, which was truly miraculous.

In addition to the Three Yuan Tianzun who saves all living beings from suffering and has a single-minded focus, the three righteous sects all have responsive gods who provide support to righteous disciples when they hold festivals.

In addition to these gods, there are also many gods with special requirements.

Most of these gods are the manifest gods of the side sects. Believing in them will bring you gains and rewards, just like the "Pan" of Panku Mountain.

Ji Ming felt that the side sects valued short-term gains over long-term planning, and that their root was above the gods within their mountain gate.

These gods are basically the founders of sects and the masters of creation of laws. Each of them has long since transcended the body and become immortal, transcending the three realms and the five elements, and coexists with the world.

His thoughts and ideas, as well as the stories that have been passed down and the traces of his existence in the world, have profoundly influenced every disciple of later generations.

In the "Scorpion Heart Ceremony" received from Yu Xiao, the one that was sensed was the Pan.

His reward is a great pain, illness or mental distress.

Yu Xiao had performed Scorpion Heart Fast three times. After successfully summoning the "disk" and completing the talisman diagram, a magical poison would immediately appear in his body.

Like Yu Xiao, who has been refining poison for a long time and has developed a body resistant to poison, he was able to survive three times.

If Ji Ming had not awakened the flying centipede bloodline, which made the poison even stronger, he might not have been able to poison Yu Xiao successfully that day.

The Heavenly Venerable does not need to pay, and there will be a response. However, the practice methods obtained from deciphering the talisman vary according to each person's talents, and the quality often varies.

And the plate needs to be paid for, which can really have a miraculous effect in deciphering the talisman diagram.

Each has its strengths and weaknesses, but in this life he has become a flying centipede monster. When it comes to the ability to resist poison, he is much better than Yu Xiao. It seems that "Xion Heart Zhai" is tailor-made for him.

The only thing to worry about is whether that person will respond to him?

Ji Ming threw this question to Yu Xiao.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. Among the thirty-six regions in the world, the only ones that have requirements for those who perform fasting and offering sacrifices are the three immortal sects.

For the gods and true beings in our side sects, the more practitioners they can attract, regardless of whether they are human or demon, the better. "

"The more the better?"

Ji Ming found it funny and said, "Since the more the better, why don't you learn from the Three Days of the Heavenly Lord of Rescue? Why bother asking for repayment afterwards?

I am afraid that as my cultivation deepens in the future and I interpret more profound Taoist books, I will be asked to pay more back.”

"Your Majesty!"

Yu Xiao had no intention of arguing about this, and wept as he said, "My cultivation is shallow, and in terms of Taoism, I am no match for an illusionary demon like you.

I only hope that the king will spare my humble life in consideration of my sincere cooperation."

By the end of her speech, she was sobbing and tears were streaming down her face, but in Ji Ming's eyes, this posture did not arouse the slightest sympathy.

Earlier, in order to seek a favor from Madam Zhang, Yu Xiao set fire to the village in front of the pond, which was completely destroyed. Among them were certainly bandits and criminals, but there were even more women and children.

This shows how vicious his heart is, and we must not allow him to stay.

"Don't be afraid!"

Ji Ming stretched out a long hand, touched his head, and said: "I heard that there are seven buckets of jewels hidden in the temple, which will be used to spread the Dharma and build a temple in the garden in the future."

"Yes!"

"Go, bring it to me.

This time, I won't hide from you. I'll let you do it on your own. Don't let me down."

"Mantra of the Heavenly Lord of Salvation":
'The Three Yuans are holy beyond measure, and they are clothed in stars and cultivated for three days. Five-colored auspicious clouds appear under their feet, and nine-colored divine salamanders swim in front of them. The palace is always sprinkled with nectar, and they hold the ruyi in their hands regardless of autumn. They respond to all requests for the dharma, and they are always saving sentient beings from the sea of ​​suffering.'
