Devouring Evil Martial Arts, Eliminating Demons from All Heavens

Chapter 216 Harvest
Paper Master:

The essence of plants and trees transforms into paper; when life force is exhausted, it becomes pure Yin.

Originally a shaman, he believed in ghosts and gods and comprehended the way of wood as yin and evil. Therefore, although he was an evil creature, he was not afraid of ordinary yang energy and flames.

All plants only seek to flourish, never caring whether the bones buried beneath them are human or beast, wise or foolish.

Characteristics: First, it is made from skin and paper. When it attaches to a human body, it gradually causes the flesh and blood to dissolve, leaving only an empty shell. However, it can control paper figures, allowing them to float lightly and move with incredible speed.

Second, the ability to manipulate wood remotely allows one to control wood-related objects from a distance. This can be used to kill living beings, and the essence absorbed from the wood can replenish one's own energy.

Chu Tianshu, dressed in loose clothing, sat in a haystack in the corner of the Deer King Temple, playing with a few blades of grass in his hand, breathing softly, and feeling completely at ease.

The grass in this corner was all collected by Luye Village. It can be used as fodder for weaving straw figures. It is warm in winter and cool in summer, and has a faint medicinal smell.

After dealing with the wizard yesterday, Chu Tianshu was still injured and suffering from heat poison. He took some spiritual medicine and felt much better.

However, if the medicine is used too quickly, there will inevitably be some oversights.

In the coming days, he plans to lean against this haystack whenever he has free time, allowing himself to be gently exposed to the medicinal properties so that he can recover more fully.

It was also because he touched these fodders that he remembered the evil spirit that the wizard Gao Ming had transformed into.

"The magic practiced by that paper doll wizard is actually deeply related to the grass weaving technique of the Deer Field people."

Chu Tianshu muttered, "It's a pity that the most important room in his house was destroyed, leaving no secrets or insights behind."

The sound of cranes came from the incense burner.

"Among the people of Luye, few who learn the art of straw weaving can master it, so whether or not the art of paper sculpting is passed down is of little significance."

The crane said, "I have already had a plan made. The most important thing right now is to plan their canal digging. After that, we need to arrange for them to learn to read and write."

"For them, this is the best foundation for increasing the proportion of practitioners in the future."

Upon hearing this, Chu Tianshu nodded vigorously.

It really is.

For the people of Luye, the two major obstacles hindering their cultivation are currently unrelated to cultivation itself.

The first difficulty was not having enough to eat, and the second difficulty was not being able to read.

One must first be well-fed before having the time to cultivate oneself; one must learn to read and write in order to communicate more effectively.

Otherwise, even if a few people were able to embark on the path of cultivation without being literate, it would be impossible.

The difficulties encountered in spiritual practice, as well as the insights gained from spiritual practice, cannot be communicated to companions.

The description is distorted; if the technique is passed down, it will only become more and more difficult for those who practice it.

Actually, speaking of this, the transmission of the bloodline of ghosts and gods is, in a sense, a very good way to pass on cultivation techniques.

However, the influence of ghosts and spirits on their relatives is far more terrifying than academic monopolies.

【Amazing Hot Waves (A Divine Spirit Split from the Waves):】
Ocean currents, flames, waves, rise and fall through the ages without end; the unrest of heaven and earth all belong to the currents.

The God of Flowing Waves possesses a thousand supernatural powers, all for the purpose of making things sway and blur, and constantly in turmoil.

The effect of turbulence and destruction manifested through changes in temperature is a glimpse into the power of the Flowing Waves.

Characteristics: First, it can command the lower classes. As a part of God's spirit, it descends upon its own believers and relatives, easily commanding and manifesting the power of its followers.

Second, the Unknown Heat can penetrate through the air, causing the target to heat up rapidly and giving the possessed person extremely strong heat resistance.

Third, the symbols of ghosts and gods, indicating favor from ghosts and gods.

After personally killing a living being, one can use its corpse as a sacrifice and imbue its soul with the mark of a ghost or deity, thus transforming it into one's own retinue. From then on, life and death are decided by the ghost or deity at will.

Those who are marked will find it easier to comprehend the divine powers and mysteries of the god of flowing waves if they offer sacrifices and prayers.

Chu Tianshu thought to himself: What is this? Using employees' own corpses to make work permits?
This kind of unscrupulous boss has reached a new level of depravity.

However, to be fair, this fragment of the Flowing Wave God's spirit is far stronger than the fragment of the Five Witches God's spirit that I encountered in the Republic of China era.

Perhaps the Five Witches in that world were weaker. Or perhaps it's because the old eunuch, being in reality, could not perform evil magic on a scale far greater than the connections achieved through the sacrifices of these sorcerers.

Thinking of this, Chu Tianshu's mind stirred slightly, and he looked at the Qi Fate column again.

The "Qi Shu" column is not yet full.

Even if he is a fragment of the God of Flowing Waves, or a messenger of the God of Vengeance.

In terms of influence, the things they were involved in were still not as significant as what Chu Tianshu had done in the Ming Dynasty.

It is estimated that we will have to wait until the cranes have made further arrangements in the real world and sent a larger group of people to the spirit world.

Chu Tianshu played a crucial role in facilitating a stable communication channel between the real world and the spirit world, which allowed his Qi Shu column to accumulate to its maximum capacity.

"Senior Crane."

Chu Tianshu pondered, "When will your channel become stable enough to bring me back to reality?"

"They can't expect me to stay here until the canal is finished, can they?"

The crane immediately said, "That's not the case, but you probably won't be able to come back for the Lantern Festival anyway."

Chu Tianshu chuckled.

When he traveled back from the last time, he was glad that he could spend the Spring Festival at home. But not only could he not spend the Spring Festival at home, he couldn't even go back for the Lantern Festival.

He felt a bit like grabbing something to punch a couple of times.

The crane comforted him, saying, "Actually, the festive atmosphere of the New Year is fading more and more these days."

"If you just want to get together with family and friends, you can arrange any time you like."

Chu Tianshu sighed softly: "You are from the city, but I am from the countryside. Where I am from, the New Year's atmosphere is still very strong."

The crane choked for a moment, then slowly said, "You seemed to have asked me before why we kept that wizard with the lotus leaf on his head."

"The answer is simple: it was to stage a public denunciation."

"These sorcerers have been poisoning the people for a long time. Although the people dare not speak out against them, many of their habits and perceptions have been distorted by them."

"If we want to mobilize the enthusiasm of the people themselves, we can't let them think that we are just a group of new wizards, so killing them all at once will make things more complicated later."

"Leave a typical example there, and make comparisons in everything, and things will be much easier to get things done."

The cranes smiled broadly, and their words were all meaningful.

"At that time, the people of Fanliang can also be mobilized to dig canals outwards, and the projects on both sides can proceed simultaneously."

"The liveliness, though different from the Spring Festival, is by no means inferior to the Spring Festival atmosphere in your towns and villages now."

"Wouldn't it be nice if Benhe sent your second grandfather down too, and you all went to experience this event together?"

Chu Tianshu was intrigued and said, "Great! I've never seen so many people working together to advance a project before."

The cranes emitted a loud laugh, mixed with the sharp cry of cranes.

"I have roughly figured out the principle behind how these straw figures can hold living souls in the spirit world for a long time. After that, we can just create carriers from the real world and deploy them."

"The canal digging project won't take too long. Also, there's a little something interesting going on right now. Are you interested?"

Chu Tianshu clicked his tongue and said, "Senior, you know the answer to that question. What's going on? Please tell me."

"For the God of Vengeance to open a passage to reality, he still needs someone in reality to help him."

The crane's voice grew sharper.

“We can make use of Ma Lingbai’s body. Go find Lin Baisui and the others and set up an altar over there.”

"Let's see which petty thieves are actually preparing to help out in real life!"
