From a carp to a dragon god

Chapter 201: Xuanming Tongyou Salvation
Earlier, there were 180 mu of Zhitian and 160 mu of tea garden, totaling 300 mu of spiritual fields, which was the wasteland in Xiyu Fudi.

Surrounding the foot of the Crow's Beak Peak, the first circle is the 180 mu of sepal fields, the outer circle is the 16 mu of tea gardens, and the 20 mu of gourd vines planted in the Beidou Taoist Temple.

In fact, the second circle is larger than the first circle, and it can cultivate 260 acres of spiritual fields. The two tea tree spirits Yunhua and Tuliu stimulated the growth of tea seeds to fill the extra 80 acres of vacant land.

Now we are reclaiming another 320 mu of land in the third circle, which is almost double the area. So the picking of the grass will catch up with the consumption.

On the way here, Li Zhen greeted him. His wife Mu Lingge's shop was still waiting for Ganoderma lucidum, and it couldn't be out of stock forever.

Right now, there are not enough people. Otherwise, he would transform the land around the isolated peak into spiritual fields and plant Ganoderma lucidum in every corner.

With the irrigation of spring rain and dew, sporadic mushrooms are sprouting out of the newly cultivated mushroom fields, dotted with six colors, which is quite colorful.

Junior fellow apprentice Li Taiping directed Tu Liu and Yun Hua to transplant the new seedlings of the spiritual tea trees and plant them outside the third circle of Zhitian, and to refine the Star Flag as a gate to shield the spiritual field.

Ever since he successfully used the spiritual bamboo to set up an array in Jishuitan, he has been particularly keen on this method, trying to combine the order of the stars with the steps of the Gangbu.

Seeing that his junior fellow was having a lot of fun, Yu Shuyang didn't want to disturb him, so he took off to the top of the Crow's Beak Peak to see the Wan family.

Now there are three elements standing side by side on the solitary peak, with the Golden Platform, Water Cave and Fire Cave each occupying a corner, and each with a Dharma image manifested.

In the water cave was the Nine Yang Water Black Turtle left by Yu Shuyang. At this time, the evil energy of the Crow's Mouth had been absorbed completely, and Chi Yang and Gao Yang had both been refined.

Right now, he is using the true fire of the sun in the fire cave to practice the scorching sun water method. The black turtle is soaking in the water cave, breathing in and out the wood spirit spring water from time to time, infecting the water veins with a mysterious water magic rhythm.

The fifth-grade dragon grass that was previously raised in the spring water has already drilled into the water veins. Except when Lao Moji feeds the dragon's evil spirit, it will float to the surface. It usually hides in the water veins of the solitary peak.

Yu Shuyang was also happy to see this happen. What if Longchucao also became intelligent one day, just like the tea tree spirit Yunhua?

Compared to the water hole, the fire hole is much simpler. Wan Jia sat cross-legged there, filling the fire hole with plum trees one by one. When it was full, a quail flew in to block the hole.

When the plum tree was burned into plum-scented charcoal, he drove the quail Dharma image to fly out. He had a black Dharma bag in his hand, which he swept towards the fire hole and collected the refined charcoal into it.

"Has the Great Sun True Fire in the fire cave been cleaned out?" Yu Shuyang waited until Wan Jia finished his work before asking.

"Master, the Great Sun True Fire is like a maggot attached to the bones, which is consumed every day. As long as the sunlight shines, it will slowly grow out of the fire cavity.

"Whether it's being restrained with Dharmadhatu, burned with charcoal, or even inhaled by the black tortoise, nothing can stop its regeneration," said the candlelight spirit Wanjia helplessly.

He had been stationed on the isolated peak for about two or three months, and had gained two hundred years of Taoism through refining Qi in the fire holes, but he still could not completely extinguish the Great Sun True Fire.

"Have you found the reason? We can't just rely on sunlight to give birth to the Great Sun True Fire. That True Fire is too easy to refine." Yu Shuyang reminded.

"Indeed, it's not just sunlight. There's also a subterranean fire underneath the fire cave, and that subterranean fire is connected to the earth veins. Turbid evil spirits have settled in the bitter sea, and a lot of turbid air has accumulated in the earth veins.

Right now, the Great Sun Fire in the fire cave has been completely consumed. Once the Sun Fire shines, the Earth Fire underneath will refine the turbid air and then produce the True Fire.

Unless all the turbid air is burned away, the Great Sun True Fire will be difficult to completely extinguish." When Wan Jia said this, he was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Perhaps the Fire Duck Immortal and the Fire Crow Immortal had not thought of this situation earlier, and by accident they created a situation where earth fire and sun fire coexisted.

Yu Shuyang was speechless for a moment. He had some credit for this matter. The fire point and the earth vein were not connected before. It was he who stimulated the water vein to pass through the stomach of Yatou Mountain, flow into the kidneys and penetrate into the earth vein.

Originally, he wanted to connect the water veins on the mountain with the sea water, but he didn't want turbid evil to settle in the bitter sea, and the polluted water veins became fishy and smelly, so he filled it back up.

"Since this is the case, there is nothing we can do. You must remember not to refine the Great Sun True Fire into your body. Even if you hold the fire in your body, you can still give it up.

"Be careful, otherwise, if the Fire Crow Palace captures you one day to use them to refine magical weapons, it will be too late to cry then," Yu Shuyang reminded.

"Don't worry, Master. I've figured out a solution. Tu Liu and I will work together to cut off the fire hole, and he will use the fire ganoderma to connect to the earth fire bit by bit.

"When the Earth Fire and the Sun Fire are disconnected, the Great Sun True Fire in the Fire Cave will surely be completely consumed," Wan Jia hurriedly explained.

He couldn't help but smile bitterly, not because the Great Sun True Fire could not be completely consumed, but because the fire point gathered fire energy, which was also suitable for him to practice Taoism.

"Since you two have come to this discussion, that's good. I'm not asking you to destroy this fire cave, but there are too many things involved behind the Great Sun True Fire.

"You should extinguish the Sun Fire and replace it with Star Fire, then open up the Fire Point. This will make it easier for you to gather Qi and practice," Yu Shuyang suggested.

Yatou Mountain is made entirely of volcanic rocks, and the accumulation of fire energy cannot be changed. However, there is a fire hole on the isolated peak to control the fire energy, which prevents it from running wild in the mountain.

After Yu Shuyang finished his instructions, he went to the golden platform to take a look. At this time, the shadow of the golden unicorn appeared on the platform. The golden platform absorbed all the golden unicorn's earth energy in the underground cave.

What he didn't expect was that the treasure of the earth was actually bred in the golden platform. Looking at the phantom of the golden unicorn, he couldn't help but take another look at the candle spirit Wanjia who was happy that the candlestick had become a spirit.

We are extremely short of manpower at the moment. If Jin Tai can be more intelligent, adding another Jin Tongzi would not be impossible, but it would be too difficult.

For an object to become a spirit, the object spirit must be awakened. Yu Shuyang didn't need to sit back and watch, as he knew that the Jintai object spirit was in a chaotic situation right now, with earth treasures being nurtured within it, and there was also a spirit residing in the Upper Palace.

This situation is even more complicated than what happened to the Wan family at Xizhutai. We can only ask our junior brother Li Taiping to help look after it and see if it can increase its spirituality, gain wisdom and become a spirit.

Yu Shuyang soared down again, and seeing that his cousin Li Li hadn't left yet, he walked over and said, "Second cousin, please help me deliver these picked Zhicao to Chaojucheng Noodle House.

I'm stuck here and can't get over for a while, and the shop is waiting for the steamed Wuzhi steamed fish."

Li Li smiled and said, "Cousin, I'll take it right away. My elder brother left in a hurry just now, and I'm still thinking about him.

"Did Big Brother get bullied by someone? Did he go to get revenge?"

He took two gourds of evil spirits from Li Zhen, and couldn't stop thinking about his mother Zhu Sanniang who had gone to Sanxian Island to buy an island and property, leaving only the two brothers in the cave.

His elder brother Li Zhen didn't like socializing in his early years and stayed in Fudi all day long. He always felt that his elder brother was too boring and often talked to him to enlighten him.

They have the closest relationship among the three brothers. The third brother Li Lang is the most favored by their father. He was taken to the Twelve Dragons' Water Palace a few years ago.

"You don't have to worry too much about Li Zhen. He is going to Chaoju City. Mu Lingge is there. If something really happens, the Mu family will come forward to coordinate." Yu Shuyang persuaded.

Li Li nodded. He first stored over 30,000 kilograms of Zhicao in his magic bag. Fortunately, he had practiced the magic bag many times, otherwise it would not have been able to hold so much. He then ordered the spider spirits to return to Qianzhang Cliff and guard the gate until he returned. Now that the cliff's cypress and rock pine had grown, they could release the water spiders.

The water silk spider factory raises water spiders in captivity. They drink truffles and eat cypress nuts every day, and spit out water silk to make webs. You just need to pick the spider webs regularly and spin them into silk threads like silkworms.

Second cousin Li Li helped deliver the zhicao to the noodle shop. He was no longer worried about the store running out of stock, so he turned around and went to discuss it with his junior brother Li Taiping.

He first told Li Taiping about how he cultivated Jintai into a monster. His junior fellow apprentice had no good solution for this because a spirit made of an object was no match for a flesh and blood body.

There is no other good way except to increase the spirituality of matter little by little over the years. Even Yueyuan Palace Water cannot help.

Then he told Li Taiping again about the 30 million souls who had died in Taoliu Forest, especially that the blessed land was about to be transformed into the Yin-Yang realm.

If there were no Yinshan Mountain to block the way, the ghosts and monsters in the underworld would follow and find their way there, which would be another disaster. We had to take precautions in advance.

"Brother, you are worrying too much. Since you want to use the Netherworld to pray for the dead, just move the Netherworld here when the time comes.

"By then, the Yin-Yang Realm will only be connected to the Netherworld, which you control. This will make the problem very easy to resolve. The only trouble will be building a temple in the Netherworld to restrain the souls," Li Taiping explained.

Then Li Taiping explained in detail the matters concerning the underworld and the netherworld. Half of the contents of the Beidou Sutra he practiced were about Beidou’s communication with the netherworld and transcendence of death.

There is no reincarnation in Middle-earth. When a person dies, it is like a light going out. After the death of most ordinary people, their true spirits sink into the underworld and they will not turn into ghosts.

What remains are the dead souls. These are the ones who became ghosts after death. They have no land deeds to lead them and no souls to return to their clan lands. They turn into wandering ghosts, and when they absorb the death energy of the underworld or devour wandering souls, they will turn into ghosts.

Just like the Book Fairy and the Water Monkey are ghost monkeys that have become spirits, these ghosts and monsters disrupt the order of yin and yang, making it impossible to distinguish between life and death.

Therefore, there is the idea that one can gain hidden virtue by communicating with the dead and saving the dead. This is to restore order to the heaven and earth, and it is also to build a ban in the underworld and increase the virtue of the earth.

Just like there are nineteen layers of clouds in the sky, there are also nine layers of earth underground, which are commonly known as the Nine Netherworlds. To transcend the dead is to send the souls into the Nine Netherworlds.

The souls of the dead gathered in the blessed land of Taoliulin, and were then refined into Yinshan Mountain by forbidden magic, transforming into the Yin-Yang Realm. In essence, the blessed land was sinking and slowly falling into the underworld. This was the reality of the Yin-Yang Realm.

Yu Shuyang is a man of the netherworld who can help the dead souls to be reborn. Even if he removes the Yin Mountain, he cannot stop the blessed land from falling. Unless he lifts the blessed land from the underworld and pushes it back to the world of the living, the difficulty of this can be imagined.

If you don't want the blessed land to fall into the Nine Netherworld, you can also use a piece of underworld soil to support it. In this way, the blessed land is also connected to the Nine Netherworld, but it does not transform into the Yin and Yang realm.

The underworld is the first level of the Nine Netherworlds. It is the place where ghosts and wild ghosts live. Anyone who can travel through the underworld to save the dead can sense an underworld and take in wandering ghosts and wild ghosts.

Moreover, the underworld is similar to the blessed land, both are a space, but the physical body cannot enter the underworld, and the blessed land also needs the support of the underworld to be promoted to the cave heaven.

"In this case, I need to build a temple for Xuanming Wenquxingjun in the underworld? Does this count as practicing Shinto magic?" Yu Shuyang asked with some confusion.

Li Taiping pondered for a moment and said, "Brother, this shouldn't count. Building a temple in the underworld is to give ghosts a place to rest, and it is also to restrain them through the way of the gods.

This is to prevent the ghosts from devouring each other and raising a ghost king, and also to prevent the underworld from being invaded by other ghost kings and plundering the living souls in the underworld."

Yu Shuyang nodded after listening. At this time, he had some understanding of the underworld. It was a bit similar to the ghost kingdom in the underworld. The purpose of communicating with the ghosts and saving the souls was to supply population to the ghost kingdom, and at the same time, to guard against the invasion of the ghost king.

"Junior brother, now that we are communicating with the underworld to help the dead, there is no other benefit except to gain good karma?" Yu Shuyang asked again.

He always felt that controlling a piece of underworld land was not enough to just send the dead souls into the underworld. That would be too useless.

"Of course, there is more than that. There are many spiritual roots and precious medicines that require the death energy of the Netherworld, especially the Taiyin type, most of which are planted in the Netherworld.

The dead souls in the underworld waste their ghostly lifespans, but we cannot let them sit idle all day long. We must cultivate the Yin soil and Yin fields and plant the Taiyin spiritual plants."

Li Taiping was very knowledgeable about cultivating the netherworld. The Beidou method contained detailed methods for creating the Beiyin netherworld. He picked out the ones that did not require the Beidou secrets and told them to his senior brother.

Moreover, Xuanming Wenqu Star Lord is the fourth star among the Big Dipper and belongs to the star god of Tianquan Mansion. Therefore, there are similarities between Xuanming Underworld and Beiyin Underworld.

Yu Shuyang also understood it in his mind. Just as he guessed, the underworld was not only for earning merit, but could also be used to cultivate Taiyin spiritual plants and precious medicines.

Thinking of this, he became more and more interested in helping the Book Fairy Water Monkey to transcend the dead, but before that he had to prepare in advance.

To connect to the underworld, one must sacrifice a dark treasure - the Soul-Guiding Banner. It can be made with earth treasures, which will make it much more powerful, or it can be made with ordinary spiritual materials.

Secondly, if you want to build a temple for Xuanming Wenquxingjun, you have to refine a paper shrine in advance, which is somewhat similar to the paper houses used in human funerals.

The last step is to steam the grains, clean water, pure soil, as well as the flowers of fruits and trees, flowers of plants, and flowers of grains. Then cast a spell and send them into the underworld, and you can cultivate the spirit plants of the underworld in the underworld.

This was the first time that the underworld was connected. From now on, it would be impossible to send spiritual creatures from the world of the living into the underworld, unless they were spiritual creatures with lunar attributes.

Yu Shuyang was extremely fortunate to have a knowledgeable junior fellow apprentice. The Beidou method he practiced included the Beiyin Netherworld Construction, which happened to be useful in the Xuanming Netherworld Construction.

In addition to the previous preparations, the most crucial thing was that he had to use water jade to carve a Xuanming water pool, refine it into the underworld, and gather the Yellow Spring Underworld Water and the Xuanming Black Water.

At the moment, there were quite a few trivial things to do, but fortunately, his junior brother Li Taiping could help with the preparations, and he only needed to do the three most important things: the soul-guiding banner, the Xuanming Wenqu shrine, and the Xuanming pool.

The first two items are easy, but the water jade has to be bought from outside, and some miscellaneous items like grains and flowers also have to be bought.

So Yu Shuyang discussed with his junior brother Li Taiping and decided to write a list of the missing items and send a flying talisman to Li Zhen, asking him to help buy them.

He had to prepare the incense and paper money first, and then he would have to cast a spell to invite the star gods, which would require offerings of incense and paper money.

The last time he saved the ghost of a young deceased, Xuanming Wenquxingjun taught him a technique of folding paper money with his mind, so he could prepare incense and paper money in advance.

While folding paper money, Yu Shuyang was thinking, after using the underworld to support the Taoliu blessed land, where should he pull the underworld to?
He will also open up a blessed land in the future, and when the time comes, he will refine the underworld soil into it, and it will be quickly promoted to a cave heaven.

If we are separated from the blessed land of peach and willow, where can we rely on?
