Chapter 743: Calling the Name and Falling
Snow Mountain Old Ghost explained in detail the purpose, history and general principles of "calling the horse down by name".

Because it did not involve specific training methods, he did not use any tricks during the narration.

The magical power of "calling a horse's name and making it fall" is not the true teaching of Taiyi Xuanmen, but a unorthodox technique, belonging to the category of nightmare curse.

There are two prerequisites for calling someone by name. First, you have to know the other person's real name.

Secondly, the other party possesses three souls and six spirits, and has not reached the state of "unity of spirit and flesh".

The “real name” does not necessarily have to be the “name on the ID card”, it only needs to be recognized by the person concerned or other people who know the person concerned.

For example, King Bashan.

"Bashan" is a title of honor, and "King" represents his identity - the master of the Jinpeng Dynasty.

Bashanwang is definitely not his real name.

Of course, King Bashan’s past was too terrible to recall, so he never used his original name.

If Xiaoyu faces the Snow Mountain Old Ghost under the guise of "Longyang Taoist", he will still be caught.

The basic principle of calling out names to bring down an opponent is to cultivate a breath of "nightmare energy" every day, and when the time comes to fight on the battlefield, use the sound to send the "nightmare energy" into the opponent's sea of ​​consciousness, shaking off his three souls and seven spirits.

Because it is a "shake-off" rather than a direct tearing apart, the enemy's three souls and seven spirits must already be somewhat loose.

If the three souls and seven spirits are too condensed, the "evil spirit of nightmare" will not be strong enough and the effect will be very bad.

If the opponent is still able to achieve unity of body and soul, then it will have no effect at all.

Xiao Yu asked in confusion: "This magical power is very powerful. Why are you so stingy with your words and not using it on a large scale for the Qin army generals?"

The Snow Mountain Old Ghost sneered and said, "Do you think that just because we, the wild cultivators from other sects, are ignorant, then all the cultivators in the world are ignorant?
The true practitioners of Taiyi Xuanmen will always be ambushed by unorthodox sects and are never afraid of open gambling and fighting.

I remember that there is a century-old shop called "Jixiangzhai" in Daiyi City. It sells "Zhenhun Pills" that can calm the mind and soul. One pill is worth thirty-seven taels of silver.

As long as he holds the Soul-Calming Pill in his mouth, the ordinary 'calling the name and bringing down the horse' technique will be completely ineffective.

Do you think the immortals of China and the generals of the Qin army would lack similar gadgets?

They are very rich!
There are so many special patronus spells for calming the mind that I don’t know how many methods have been developed. You don’t even need to take soul-calming pills.”

Now it was Xiaoyu's turn to be speechless.

It has only been a few hundred thousand years since the "forbidden spell" of the Conferred God Period. Well, for gods, a few hundred thousand years does not seem to be a short time.

But it’s too unbelievable that pills sold on the street can counter the powerful secret methods from the Conferred Gods period, right?

The Snow Mountain Ghost seemed to have guessed her thoughts and sneered, "Is the magic weapon you used to assassinate me the Sun and Moon Divine Pearl of King Bashan?"

"The magic pearl belongs to King Bashan? I don't know. This pearl was given to me by Zhang Yuan's great-uncle, 'Ji Guan Xiangu'."

Xiaoyu thought to herself, "As expected," but still pretended to be confused.

The Snow Mountain Old Ghost didn't care about the origin of the magic pearl, he just continued to sneer and said: "The Sun and Moon Pearl absorbs the essence of the sun and the essence of the moon. The sun and the moon shine together, and the yin and yang are in harmony. It is an authentic Taoist magic weapon.

Also as secret magic treasures inherited from ancient and medieval times, Taiyi Xuanmen’s magic treasures are always extremely powerful and cannot be cracked.

Our unorthodox magical skills, let alone those passed down hundreds of thousands or millions of years ago, even if they were new methods created tens or hundreds of years ago, once they are used many times and are noticed by the Taiyi Xuanmen, they will be immediately cracked.

Do you know why this is so?"

Xiao Yu seemed to understand something and said, "The Taiyi Xuanmen cultivates the 'Tao', while the side sects cultivate the 'techniques'. The Great Dao is eternal and supreme."

The Snow Mountain Ghost said: "You still have some knowledge, but still not enough.

The fundamental reason is that Taiyi Xuanmen has a Taoist ancestor who is in charge of the way of heaven, and many Daluo Jinxian ancestors who are in harmony with the way.

If you destroy the magical powers and magic weapons of Taiyi Xuanmen, it is equivalent to destroying the Taoism of their ancestors. Can you destroy it?
Can't break at all!
Only they themselves can find a way to deal with it through the rules of mutual promotion and mutual restraint that they have set themselves.

It's a relationship of mutual promotion and restraint, not being broken.

Even though our unorthodox techniques follow certain rules of the universe, they are the ways of the great Dao.

But Daozu and Daluo Jinxian can directly modify the rules that our magic relies on.

Or they could formulate completely new and stronger rules to suppress the rules of heaven and earth that did not originally belong to them and were not in line with their principles.

How can our magic still be effective?
The entire Three Realms are becoming more and more "Taoist", and our unorthodox ways of escape are becoming fewer and fewer."

His tone became sad, his expression became angry, and he pointed at her and said hatefully: "An ignorant and foolish ancestor of the Left Dao like you not only fails to recognize your own identity and position, but also helps the Dao Sect to deal with its own people.

How could my unorthodox sect not decline to this point, and have no future?"

Xiao Yu sighed and said, "Well done! Daoist friend's words are like morning bells and evening drums, which enlightened me.

Now I have repented and established the belief that made Zuodao great for the first time.

Hehe, the Huns planned to learn from Ying Zheng and unify the country. I think it makes sense. We should also learn from Ying Zheng.

Fellow Daoist, you are also a patriarch of the Left Dao. Please hand over your Daoism to me and let me develop and expand the Left Dao side sect!"

The Snow Mountain Ghost said coldly: "I would rather my soul be scattered, my own lineage be lost, and my left path be suppressed by the Xuanmen for hundreds of millions of years, than teach you even a small magical power."

Xiao Yu was stunned, but not angry. She just asked curiously, "You can say what you said just now, which shows that you are very knowledgeable and you are really unwilling to give up. Why don't you have the slightest awareness of sacrifice?"

The old ghost shouted: "If we really want to unify the side sects and choose a 'side sect Ying Zheng', it can only be me.

If I had the spirit to sacrifice myself for the good of the world, I would have long ago met the requirements to join the Dao Sect and become a true disciple of the Dao Sect. Why would I still be talking nonsense with you here?"

Xiao Yu said: "Among the Taoist disciples I have seen, there is not much spirit of self-sacrifice."

The old ghost sneered: "They are human beings just like us. Human beings have seven emotions and six desires. How can they be truly selfless?

It’s just that the ancestors of Taoism all hope to have a group of filial sons and grandchildren under their command, rather than a group of ungrateful people.

That is why we raise the moral standards and select more honest people with good nature to join Taoism.

In fact, this is also human nature.

For example, my Guangming Temple has hundreds of disciples and followers, and there must be quite a few who are dishonest and cunning.

But if anyone has obvious moral problems, I will never show mercy."

Xiao Yu said, "Something happened to your disciple, Long Xiang Buddha, and your other disciple, Master Xue Ling, didn't show much affection among fellow disciples."

The old ghost said: "Xue Ling's real name is 'Zhang Zhong'. He is a servant of the Zhang family in Liaoxi. He followed his master into the mountains to collect herbs and encountered a wild bear.

He risked his life to hold back the wild bear, allowing its owner to escape. However, he was eventually cut open by the bear, bleeding on the spot, and almost died tragically in the ice and snow.

Even saints have their own preferences. My disciples are also unorthodox. What is the point of learning from saints? It is enough for them to be loyal to me, the ancestor."

Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, then nodded slowly and said, "Master Xue Ling knew that Juyong Pass had fallen, and that you, the ancestor, had been surrounded and killed by the army, and that it would be useless for him to go up, but he still insisted on going out to save you. He is indeed quite loyal."

The old ghost had a proud but somewhat sad expression on his face, and said: "Even though they are both unorthodox ways, they are also divided into high and low.

After all, our Guangming Temple is an "immortal sect" and has cultivated several true immortals. It's just that the disciples' fortunes are not as good as those of the true Taoist sect.

Unlike some unorthodox sects, even the ancestor was just a "strange man" who did not become an immortal.

The disciples are of mixed quality, without any etiquette or morality, and the sect is like a devil's cave. "Thinking of the current situation of Guangming Temple, Xiao Yu felt a little sad for him, "Alas, fellow Taoist, you only need to hand over the name-calling and immortal martial arts techniques to me, and I will let you go immediately. If you break your promise, you will be struck by thunder from heaven."

Xiaoyu had no idea how much truth and falsehood there was in Snow Mountain Old Ghost's words, and in fact, he didn't really care.

She was at least certain that the old ghost's fundamental principles were not demonic.

The "qi" he cultivated was still "immortal qi", but it was an unorthodox method rather than a demonic one.

Similar to the Fire Wing Immortal, even after death and becoming a ghost, there is only negative energy on his body, without strong resentment or demonic energy.

Moreover, this old ghost is determined. As he said just now, he would rather die and his Taoist tradition be lost than let her get the upper hand.

If she doesn't make a concession, is she really going to be done with him?
"It's just immortal martial arts techniques, no need for Qi training or cultivation methods at all?" the old ghost asked doubtfully.

Xiao Yu said unhappily, "Your energy is not as pure as mine, why would I need your crappy magic?"

If the old ghost had a face at this moment, it would definitely blush.

He was a ghost, his face was pale, unable to turn red, but full of indignation and ridicule, "You fool who bought the casket and returned the pearl!

You have no moral principles and only managed to defeat me by using a magic weapon to sneak attack. Do you really think you are stronger than me?"

Xiao Yu said: “You must first hand over the Xianwu secret technique and the name-calling and falling horse, and buy your own life.

If you are still interested in discussing Taoism with me, you can stay here and communicate with me for a few days.

At that time, we were of equal status and could compete with each other.

Now you are the fish and I am the knife. No matter what I say, no matter how reasonable you are, you can't argue with me. "

The Snow Mountain Ghost's expression changed several times, "How do I know you won't break your promise?"

Xiao Yu sneered, "You are an expert, but interrogating others about their secrets is already despised by the world and will leave a lot of consequences.

If I break my vows again, with the accumulated karma, will I still be able to live to become an expert?"

The Snow Mountain Ghost nodded slightly, "That's right, you are so skilled in forcing people to confess their immortality, obviously you have done it many times. You haven't met with any disaster until now, but your immortal charm is pure, so you must have rarely broken your oath."

——It doesn’t matter even if she breaks her oath, it’s just martial arts and a small unorthodox magical power.

He did not hesitate any longer and immediately recounted in detail the story of his fall and the Snow Mountain Martial Arts Canon.

This old ghost even offered a buy one get one free promotion. Not only did he memorize all the training methods in the "Martial Classic", he also added the "heart training method" beyond Xiaoyu's request.

"Snow Mountain Martial Arts Manual" is the first "martial arts secret book" Xiaoyu has ever seen in his life, which contains all five elements of immortal martial arts: "mind, spirit, will, energy".

One can even cultivate the "Martial Arts Dharma".

However, Xiaoyu felt a little uncomfortable with the mind-training method of Snow Mountain Martial Arts.

The foundation of the method of refining the mind is a visualization picture, and the visualization picture is "The Snow Mountain Ancestor stands proudly on the top of the snow mountain."

It’s the Snow Mountain Patriarch dressed as a golden-armored general.

This old ghost sanctified his own "immortal charm" so that the "spiritual frequency" of his disciples who visualized this picture would actively move closer to his spirit.

He is a "Martial Immortal". If his disciples' spiritual powers "evolve" (actively accept influence) in his direction, won't they also become immortals?

The mental strength after becoming an immortal must be stronger than before. This is the principle of immortal martial arts to refine the mind.

Just looking at this visualization picture, Xiaoyu's eyes seemed to be burned by a sun, and two voices seemed to echo in her ears, "Gratitude, loyalty! Honesty!"

The method of refining the mind allows the practitioner's soul to become the same as that of the Snow Mountain Ancestor. After practicing the Ancestor's immortal martial arts, it will of course be extremely smooth, and he will become another "Little Snow Mountain Ancestor".

Therefore, although the method of refining the mind may be offensive to some people, it is indeed very compatible with the entire martial arts canon.

"The martial arts classic is written in great detail, but you didn't finish writing about the magical power of calling a horse down by name." Xiao Yu said.

The old ghost was shocked and furious, and shouted loudly: "Fairy Feiyu, are you going to break your promise?"

Xiao Yu picked up the spiritual jade with the secret book and said, "If you practice according to this method, it will be impossible to make King Bashan faint.

If you insist on making excuses, I will immediately release King Bashan to confront you.

If you lie, you are breaking your oath.

Not to mention the cost of breaking my oath, I certainly can't fulfill my promise and let you go."

Xiaoyu stared into his eyes, "It's your choice whether you want to confront King Bashan or not."

The old ghost's expression changed several times, and he said: "The secret method I gave you is absolutely complete."

"Maybe, but it's definitely not the 'calling the name down' you used to deal with King Bashan." Xiaoyu said in a firm tone.

The old ghost asked doubtfully, "Why are you so sure?"

"I just don't know how to call out names, but it's not like I don't know how to attack the soul."

The first move Xiaoyu learned was the "Tiger Soul Seven Killings", one of which was the "Tiger Roaring Knife", which was a technique of attacking the soul.

Later, she also studied the runes inside the incomplete Soul-Falling Bell and even incorporated them into her swordsmanship.

The Book of Calling the Fallen Horses that the old ghost gave her was at most one level stronger than the Broken Soul-Falling Bell.

With such little power, it is impossible for it to have such a strong effect on a demon god with 20,000 years of cultivation.

Of course, these are just the reasons that can be put forward on the surface.

The reason why she raised doubts was that Da Mie's father did not approve of the secret method written by Lao Gui.

He could deceive her, and he could also deceive her Zifu?

The old ghost sighed and said, “The secret method I gave you is the secret technique of the left way that has been passed down from the Middle Ages.

Not a single word is missing, and not a single word is modified. I can swear on this.

Ten thousand years ago, I mastered this secret technique.

I probably heard about the King of Bashan from others. After all, I have used it several times after I mastered it.

That's why he dared to chase and kill me alone.

But over the past ten thousand years, I have collected many spiritual magical skills from Buddhism, Taoism, and other sects.

I have already absorbed the essence and adapted it into another form of calling out names and bringing down horses. "

"This is the result of thousands of years of hard work for me!" He wailed unwillingly.

Xiao Yu said: "You should understand that the martial arts secret book is just a bonus, and the one who buys your life is to be called down by name.

No matter how many years of hard work it takes, it's worth it if it's used to exchange for my life."

The old ghost was dejected and wrote a new sign “calling the name down” in the spiritual jade.
