Poor Taoist Qiu Chuji

Chapter 274 Yang Kang's New Soldiers

Three secret books, three directions.

The Soul-Locking Golden Needle requires skill and has a low threshold and upper limit. Humans have human orifices, and ghosts have ghost orifices. Gold is purely yang in nature, and by inserting gold into a sharp weapon and piercing it into the orifice of a ghost, it can block the flow of yin energy in the ghost's body and limit the ghost's strength and ability.

Even ordinary people can restrain ghosts after learning and seizing the opportunity, but they can only deal with some weaker ghosts. Those ghosts with powerful abilities, even if they are very unlucky to be restrained, can rely on the huge Yin Qi to break the seal.

The Great Yang Yuan Palm is a martial art in which a warrior consumes his own Yang Fire to fight against ghosts. It is most suitable for masters who have practiced external martial arts or horizontal martial arts, because they have vigorous blood and hot Yang Fire and can withstand consumption.

For example, Hong Qigong and Ouyang Feng in their prime years were the best candidates to practice this palm technique. Master Yideng, on the contrary, was a little worse. Although One Yang Finger was also a yang martial art, it was actually internal strength even though it was a finger technique. Master Yideng's blood was not as strong as that of Hong Qigong and Ouyang Feng.

As for the Impermanence Stick Technique, it is the most profound and mysterious of the three martial arts. One stick can destroy a ghost, two sticks can scatter its spirit, and three sticks can make a ghost disappear into ashes. Because of this, it is also the most difficult to learn. Not only does one need to have very deep skills as a foundation, but one must also understand the meaning of impermanence of life and death.

This is actually a martial art based on artistic conception, and the artistic conception of the impermanence of life and death has an inherently overwhelming effect on inanimate objects like ghosts and monsters.

What Qiu Chuji really placed high hopes on was the third technique, the "Impermanence Stick Technique". The reason was very simple, because only the Impermanence Stick Technique was the real means for a warrior to deal with ghosts. The first two could only be regarded as a transitional trick that could be used but not trusted.

Huang Yaoshi was flipping through the secret book in his hand at this moment, and his sight finally fell on the "Impermanence Stick Technique". He was already holding the jade flute in his hand, and subconsciously began to practice it.

There was a faint rhythm in the waving of his arms, forcing Feng Heng to frown and step back.

Although the elderly Huang has many obvious defects, his advantages are also quite obvious. He has accumulated rich experience and has experienced all kinds of life. The impermanence of life and death is actually just a layer of window paper to him. Someone has guided him in the direction, and it is not difficult for him to comprehend the superficial artistic conception.

Seeing that Old Huang was about to enter the sect, Qiu Chuji felt somewhat delighted.

As long as Huang Yaoshi mastered the "Impermanence Stick Technique", his problems would be solved to a certain extent.

Because the foundation of artistic conception martial arts is "true qi", without the nourishment of true qi, the soul of an ordinary person cannot support the mental consumption of artistic conception martial arts. The main theme of the Impermanence Stick Method is the meaning of the impermanence of life and death, but the stick method moves and the method of condensing true qi also have guidance and points out. With Lao Huang's background, it is not difficult to understand the truth.

As for why Yang Kang was able to master the powerful sword intent before condensing the true Qi, it was entirely because he had fused with the demon fetus and possessed powerful soul power, which could not be measured by normal standards.

In addition to Yang Kang, Qiu Chuji and Yang Guo can actually be considered exceptions.

Because their soul foundation is far stronger than that of ordinary people.

Huang Yaoshi was watching with fascination. Huang Rong, who had just woken up and learned the truth from her mother, could not help but be polite and quickly asked Qiu Chuji to sit down.

Now there was no need to talk about having another banquet. He just brought what he had now to Qiu Chuji for him to eat and drink. Then he ran to the kitchen, quickly prepared a few delicious dishes to go with the wine, and brought them to Qiu Chuji.

It has to be said that although Huang Rong's cooking skills in her middle age were not as good as those in her girlhood, she had an increasingly sophisticated control of the heat. She could cook simple stir-fried seasonal vegetables or stews over high heat to perfection, and the taste was extremely good. Qiu Chuji almost had the idea of ​​synthesizing her into a two-star Huang Rong in the future.

······
In the Qinling Mountains, on a spirit-calling platform, faint lights appeared. A ghost that was summoned from afar slowly came back to his senses and looked around in a daze.

"oi!"

"Stop looking! Just you! I've been staring at you for a while! You look sneaky and not like a ghost. It seems that you have been dead for a long time and your reputation is not big enough. Not many people remember you!"

"Can you remember your name?"

A voice interrupted Yang Zongbao's daze.

He shook his head in confusion, and then his head, which was not solid to begin with, became half loose and looked a little abstract.

A man dressed in white with a royal sword on his waist walked out of nothingness and circled around Yang Zongbao.

Then... he clicked his tongue twice, as if he was looking at the goods.

The man took out three incense sticks, lit them, and then inserted them in front of Yang Zongbao.

Along with the smoke of incense, some fragmented images quickly flashed through Yang Zongbao's mind, wrapped in the ghost body which was definitely not strong. Although they were not yet systematic, they had already helped him regain some scattered humanity.

"Where is this place?"

"What's wrong with me?"

"And, who are you?"

The man in white did not directly answer Yang Zongbao's question, but circled around Yang Zongbao again.

When he was burning incense just now, he always felt that the ghost in front of him gave him a very different feeling.

But it is not clear exactly where the difference is.

"This is Qinling, and I... am your recruiter."

"The dark tides of heaven and earth are resurrecting, and it is a time of great changes unprecedented in the ages..." The man in white...that is, Yang Kang spoke out the opening remarks he had prepared long ago with great emotion.

During this period, he was not particularly successful in recruiting ghosts in Qinling Mountains. Those who were qualified to become ghosts were more or less outstanding people of the time. Even after death, these ghosts still retained some of their habits in life. Moreover, those who died early had incomplete memories and were seriously lacking in humanity. This resulted in each of these ghosts having a bad temper, but too little brains, and it was very difficult to command them.

The ghost in front of him was a rather special one among the ghosts recruited by Yang Kang. Although his body was a little scattered and he looked like he had been dead for a long time, his emotions were surprisingly stable. He did not go crazy as soon as he appeared. After regaining some memories, the questions he asked were also more organized.

It seems that he has good qualifications and is worth training.

At this moment, Yang Zongbao was a little confused after listening to Yang Kang's long background introduction.

The story that Yang Kang compiled by mixing part of the background of the world of A Chinese Ghost Story is in serious conflict with many things in Yang Zongbao's memory.

"Your body is a little scattered, please gather it together...it's almost spilling over me!" Yang Kang reminded Yang Zongbao, interrupting his meaningless scattered behavior at the moment.

"Oh! Don't blame me! Don't blame me!" Yang Zongbao said embarrassedly.

Then he started to daydream again.

The specific manifestation was that the soul in his brain turned into a streamer and spread out in all directions... Fortunately, it did not completely disperse, but still lingered within a certain distance.

"Guiying! Where is Guiying?" Yang Zongbao shouted suddenly, and his scattered brain quickly shrank and collapsed.

When Yang Kang heard Yang Zongbao shouting like this, he suddenly felt something was not right.

Then he asked, "Do you remember who you are?"

Yang Zongbao nodded, and a lot of debris fell off: "I am Yang Zongbao!"

boom!
It was as if a muffled thunder sounded above Yang Kang's head.

The whole ghost was a little dazed.

Did he recruit an ancestor?

Yang Kang's father is Yang Tiexin, and Yang Tiexin is a descendant of Yang Zaixing.

Yang Zaixing is the ninth generation of the Yang family. His father is Yang Ting, his grandfather is Yang Guangrong, his great-grandfather is Yang Bangyu, and Yang Bangyu's father is Yang Wenguang. In some cases, Yang Wenguang can also be regarded as Yang Zongbao. Whether it is The Legend of the Condor Heroes or The Return of the Condor Heroes, their backgrounds cannot be regarded as a proper Song Dynasty background.

So it is reasonable that Yang Zongbao is the ancestor of Yang Kang.

Originally, he wanted to put on a show and subdue Yang Kang, the ghost who was worth training, into his own hands, but now he didn't know how to do it.

Actually! With his low bottom line, as long as he doesn't care, it's not a big deal.

Everyone can just discuss their own opinions.

However, this time Yang Kang came to this world with his master Qiu Chuji to carry out a mission. Not only would his master be watching him, but there was also an Antarctic Immortal watching him. If he went too far in terms of some ethical principles, he might displease the higher-ups.

After all, the orthodox school is different from the evil school, and it still pays great attention to rules and etiquette.

If you break the rules and cause the displeasure of the Immortal of the South Pole, then the gain will be counterproductive.

Yang Kang is a smart man, so he is very good at figuring out what the root is.

Fundamentally, recruiting ghosts, making things difficult for Yang Guo, and artificially creating disasters to train Yang Guo are just means, and ultimately training Yang Guo to become a talent is just the goal of the mission. To be honest, this is still the beginning of Qiu Chuji's integration into the Chan Sect, and if Qiu Chuji can integrate into it, then Yang Kang can also integrate into it.

If we delay the ultimate goal for the sake of a means, it is not only putting the cart before the horse, it is simply stupid.

As his mind turned, Yang Kang quickly sorted out the clues and knelt down on the spot and kowtowed: "I am the unfilial descendant Yang Kang, I bow to the ancestor!"

Yang Zongbao's head fell to the ground again. He couldn't understand why the man in white, who was bragging just now, became like this after hearing his name.

"This...brother! You're welcome!"

"Is there any misunderstanding between you and me?" Yang Zongbao asked.

"There is no misunderstanding. You are Yang Zongbao and I am Yang Kang. We are directly related by blood."

"I'd like to ask the old ancestor to bear with me for the details."

Yang Kang told some truths this time. Except for the things he couldn't say, he said everything he could say.

At the same time, he took out a handful of spiritual incense, placed them next to Yang Zongbao and lit them one by one, to help Yang Zongbao solidify his ghost body and recover more memories.

These spiritual incenses were all provided by Qiu Chuji and came from the zombie world.

Although the Yuan Qi between heaven and earth in the world of Qiannu seems to be more abundant, it is not suitable for ghosts to survive, so there are relatively few ghosts, and most of the alien creatures are monsters.

For example, Nie Xiaoqian turned from a female ghost into a fox demon.

Yang Zongbao absorbed the energy from the incense, condensed his body, sorted out his memories, and listened to Yang Kang explain the cause and effect.

"So, you recruited the ghosts in order to test whether your son is qualified to inherit the 'Wuqiu Immortal Book', and to set up obstacles to test him?" Yang Zongbao finally understood.

Yang Kang nodded.

After a moment's silence, Yang Zongbao said, "If that's the case, I'm willing to lend you a helping hand."

"However, your spirit summoning platform is quite effective. Can you summon some more ghosts for me?"

Yang Kang knew what the ancestor in front of him was thinking.

Deep down, he didn't want to recruit a group of ancestors, but facing Yang Zongbao's "request", Yang Kang couldn't refuse directly. After all, the other party also agreed to help him act and test Yang Guo.

"I can give it a try, but there's no guarantee of success."

"The world has its constraints. The earlier you die, the harder it is to summon ghosts."

"However, our ancestors and grandmother are all famous, so I think it shouldn't be that difficult." Yang Kang's words were not very pleasant to Yang Zongbao, as he felt like he was being pointed at him.

······
At this time, Qiu Chuji, of course, didn't know that his good disciple was about to create a full-ghost version of the Yang Family Generals gift package.

Life on Peach Blossom Island was really good. Huang Rong knew that her old father had something to ask of the old immortal who called himself "Xiaoyaozi", so she used all her skills and began to cook different kinds of delicious food every day.

Seven or eight days passed in a flash. Huang Yaoshi came to Qiu Chuji every day to ask for advice on martial arts, and Qiu Chuji was generous in giving him guidance.

As a result, Feng Heng was temporarily neglected.

All I can say is that some things are just like that.

If you don’t cherish it when you have it, you will regret it when you lose it, and when you have it again... it’s still easy not to cherish it.

Huang Yaoshi is still a martial arts fanatic at heart. He stopped pursuing it before, not because he didn't love it anymore, but because he saw the limit and the end and lost motivation.

Of course, after living for several decades longer, he has made some progress.

Although he was obsessed with the martial arts passed down by Qiu Chuji, he did not completely ignore Feng Heng's feelings. He would take at least one or two hours every day to talk to Feng Heng and keep her company.

Of course, that’s all.

Lao Huang has maintained it pretty well, and some of its functions are still there.

However, Qiu Chuji warned him that if he did not have an indestructible pure yang body, he should not provoke a pure yin body formed by the yin energy of heaven and earth. Otherwise, getting frozen would be a small matter, but having the remaining little yang energy drained would be a big problem.

Those female ghosts who can freely have sex with men are either gifted or their ghost bodies have already solidified like human bodies, just like the thousand-year-old demon who completely transformed into a human and shed his demon body.

For example, Nie Xiaoqian in the original version of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, who gave birth to a son for Ning Caichen in her ghost form, was extremely extraordinary and was definitely not an ordinary female ghost.

Half a month later, at the dock of Taohua Island, a beautiful-looking ship set sail and headed towards the land.

Huang Yaoshi, who has already mastered most of the three secret manuals, plans to use his own reputation as the East Evil as a guarantee and the disciples of the Beggar Gang as his eyes, ears and voice to summon heroes from all over the world to preach the Dharma in Lujiazhuang.

This was also what he and Qiu Chuji had agreed upon.

However, after the news spread, it did not cause any particular sensation.

Because at this moment in the world, there was another thing that attracted even more attention.

The whole world is in an uproar because of ghost issues.

The news that Qiu Chuji sealed the evil tiger in Zhongnan Mountain and that there was a 'Yingyuan Taoist' holding the 'Wuqiu Immortal Book' on Mount Emei has spread throughout the world. People from all sides have gathered in Zhongnan Mountain, intending to witness it with their own eyes to see if it is true.

Compared to the "Wuqiu Immortal Book" that can make you immortal just by listening to it, the martial arts that Huang Yaoshi, the East Evil, used to target ghosts and monsters seemed not so impressive.
