Chapter 118: Ascending to the Heavens
What doubts and speculations do the people of the Strange News Division have, Li Zhen has long been unable to take care of them.
They may push this matter onto other mysterious masters, or perhaps, suspect that it was the work of Zixu Zhenren who had made a move before, but he didn't care, as long as it wasn't the Xianmen master who noticed him.
Now that Li Zhen has personally tested it, it is difficult for ordinary foundation building and even Jiedan to find out, doing these trivial things, not participating in the general trend of the world, should not cause hostility.
When everything came to an end and returned to the soul, the first thing I saw was the concerned protection of his wife, the ninth princess.
When she saw Li Zhen's eyes open, she couldn't help but come over, and asked in surprise: "Husband, what you are cultivating is He Mengdao Divine Power, and even your spirit has almost disappeared. ”
Li Zhen expected to go out during the day today, and he was briefly distracted in the morning and reminded him that he used the cultivation of Dream Dao Divine Power as an excuse.
But out-of-body and suspended animation are very similar, if it weren't for the fact that Li Zhen's life qi was still there, and the residual spirit was stable, she almost thought that Li Zhen had passed away peacefully in her sleep.
Li Zhen smiled and comforted: "If I do this again in the future, don't panic, if there is something wrong, I will wake up in time." ”
He is not a rookie now, and with the help of Soul Rejuvenation Incense, he is qualified to say so.
After appeasing the Ninth Princess, he came to Hanxiang Pavilion and thought about what he had thought of before.
The incense road is also through the gods, you can sacrifice to the gods, and naturally you can also surpass the undead and eat the ghosts and gods.
There is also no shortage of relevant incense products and classic records.
The first thing he thought of was to reject evil incense, which had been proven to be detained and suppressed, and it was quite effective.
If you face such an enemy in the future, you may be able to give it a try.
Soon, he thought of an existence called Om Horn Incense.
Om horn incense from the country of Om horn, the best condition is a kind of color black with red, soft and clean color, its smell is not as good as agarwood, ambergris and other things, but it can be mixed with other spices, can also be used as evil spirits.
In "Xiangyan", there was an anecdote about Om incense to ward off evil spirits.
"Five Miscellaneous Works" contains: Yandu has a vacant room that is said to be haunted and no one dares to live in, and some people occasionally stay in it and burn incense.
At night, I suddenly heard a voice, "Who burned this incense, caused me a headache, and let the ghost stay?"
Since then, the ghosts have disappeared.
"This incense may have an exorcist effect......"
However, what Li Zhen needs now is not to give the ghosts a headache to relocate, those souls are raised in the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, and they can't leave at will.
If they had known, they would not have come out so easily, even if they were smoked alive.
Moreover, now Li Zhen does not have a horn incense in his hand, and he doesn't even know if there is such a thing in this world.
Om Horn country is not a big country, but an ancient country name, in the Indochina Peninsula, located in Southeast Asia, and according to research, this thing is also made of Om bar incense, made of oil extracted from the fruit of the gall tree.
The gallbladder tree is a tall tree that can grow to a diameter of about two feet and a height of eight zhang, and Li Zhen has read some books and knows its appearance characteristics, but he can only obtain it by traveling in the future, increasing his knowledge, or looking for something to replace this world from books such as "The Chronicles of the Scenery of All Nations".
Silently remembering this, his mind quickly moved on to something else.
"Bringing the ...... True Fragrance"
"The Remains of Tianbao" records that the princess, the emperor mourns, and now gives Zini and the female Taoist crown the incense of the ascension of the heavenly spirit, and returns to the chime of the purple gold to guide the spiritual ascension.
This incident is also recorded in the "Du Yang Miscellaneous Edition", which says that after the death of Princess Tongchang in the tenth year of Tang Xiantong, Tang Yizong was so grief-stricken that he ordered someone to burn incense and hit the chime to help him soar to heaven.
The incense burned in it is the incense of the rising sky.
According to the research of "Incense Spectrum", the incense is the true incense, and the theory of ascending to the sky and descending the spirit is actually the spiritual incense made with the true incense as the main material, which is used for the supernatural undead.
"Incense" contains: Born in the mountains of the South China Sea and the Great Qin Kingdom, its incense is like Su Fang wood, it is not very fragrant at the beginning of burning, and it is particularly beautiful to get all the incense and it.
What is described here is its characteristics.
As a common incense product, the distribution and use of the true incense is still quite extensive, before Li Zhen made the spirit incense, the materials used also include the true tulip agarwood incense and other things, so he has this material in his hand, and when he needs to use it, he can take it immediately.
Previously, this object was used as an auxiliary material, giving full play to its role in harmony, and if it was the protagonist itself, it would also be useful.
What Li Zhen remembers at this moment is also one of them.
He decided not to think about it so much and try it later.
Write a list of what you need and call your servants: "Go and get these ready......
After a while, the servant returned, and Li Zhen took out one of the things and looked at it, it was a heartwood like a yam, shaped like wisteria.
Under the order of Li Zhen, these have been cut into slices, so the right is made of holly seeds, wrapped in a cloth sheet and soaked in juice, after steaming, began to prepare to be packed in a clay pot, sealed with oil paper, and stored in the cellar for half a month.
This could not be done overnight, and Li tried a variety of utensils and specific spice combinations in one go, intending to see what kind of magic was best used.
And in these days, he wanders around, continues to be out of his body, and collects relevant information.
At this moment, the people of Persona have already begun to carry out operations in Wufeng City, clearing out all kinds of corpse demons and zombies and other monsters hidden by the disciples of the Corpse Immortal Sect.
With the efforts of a large number of people, those monsters that lost their owners did not make any waves, and they were easily killed.
In Wufeng City, a crisis has become invisible.
However, what happened to Wufeng City was no accident, and the original intention of those demonic disciples was always to kill civilians, obtain corpses, refine demons, or absorb their souls as ghost slaves.
There is no shortage of secret methods for ingesting living souls in the immortal cultivation world, but more often than not, the murderer does not care about burying them, leaving them exposed to the wilderness and uncontrolled.
Another night, in Xuanxin's country, in an unnamed small mountain village.
Li Zhen's soul traveled at night, looking at the barren mountain with inexplicable emotion, but saw that its inner spirit was faintly bright, like the phantom of ghost fire floating in it.
"This place seems to be the ...... of the previous flood-stricken area"
"So many people died in one breath, and now the bones are rotting, and the soul is gone, and it is gradually revealed!"
In the blink of an eye, it has been half a year since the last large-scale disaster, and many newborn souls have absorbed enough yin and evil to gradually become the climate.
What Li Zhen saw now was a deserted tomb buried in one of the barren mountains, which seemed to have given birth to a bit of mutation.
He learned from the files in the Persona Division that this place was a place where corpses were raised in the shadows, and it was very likely that the ghosts were nurtured.
As a result, when I look at it on the ground, I realize that the situation is even more serious than expected.
"One hundred and ten souls, if there is a ghost, they can continue to absorb yin and evil and continue to grow. ”
"Ignorant and ignorant governors, and don't know how to stay away from here, do evil outside, and it is difficult for the outside world to know about it in a hidden state. ”
"By the time we find out, I'm afraid it's too late. ”
"The Persona Division is still understaffed, and the imperial court has not yet been strong enough to monitor the place to such an extent. ”
Li Zhen knew what was going on.
Today's Xuanxin Kingdom has a stronger sense of control over the Taoists, and wants to establish a Taoist system, to a certain extent, there are also supplementary manpower to deal with these new evil factors.
But it was difficult for the feudal dynasty to even go to the countryside with royal power, and Li Zhen estimated that they couldn't do it to that extent.
"Alas, in the end, it depends on the people of insight in the reckless rivers and lakes to spontaneously kill the demons and eliminate the demons......"
He is such a person of insight, rushing into the deserted grave at the moment, activating his senses, smelling the fragrance and looking for ghosts.
A familiar smell of gloomy decay came from one of the graveyards, where a thick sinister atmosphere had accumulated, distinctly different from the outside world.
If it were someone else, they would be far inferior to Li Zhen in this matter, and they would need to work hard to roughly determine where these naturally formed Yin Spirits and Sneaky Ones were hiding, and it might not be difficult to really deal with them, but if they were not careful, they would let them run away.
And as long as Li Zhen found an opportunity, he would be a sword at the head, and the sword qi condensed by Gang Xuan penetrated through the ground, piercing the thin wooden coffin hidden inside.
The next moment, the incense recipe was urged, and the evil incense was poured, and a wisp of black smoke floated up.
This scene reminded Li Zhen of the mouse stuffing he had played with when he was a child, and when he found a rat hole in the field, he poured water into it, and ran up obediently by himself.
Li Zhen urged the people to turn the incense recipe into an aroma field again, trapping the black smoke.
Because the other party was almost completely unintelligent, he couldn't even run away when something was wrong, but suddenly turned into a man with a vicious image, his abdomen was swollen high, like a pregnant woman with Liujia, and pounced on him.
This image is extremely terrifying, and it can even be seen from the conjured light and shadow, and there is pus and blood flowing out of the decay of its body.
But Li Zhen just smashed the opponent to pieces with just a sword, and then pulled it hard and put it into a jewel the size of an inch shaped like a glass ball.
After a while, a ghostly fire like a lamp appeared inside the orb.
This is the treasure he obtained from Senior Brother Yan's pocket, and it seems to be a magic weapon used to ingest and transfer souls, and its name is Soul Bead.
With this item, you can temporarily imprison a new ordinary ghost that has not yet awakened, but if you encounter an evil ghost or a more powerful ghost, it will not work.
He took the ghost back and hid it in the cave, leaving it to be studied for the time being.
......
Half a month later, when order gradually returned to the valley of the world, and the bazaars and treasure auctions were held one after another, Li Zhen's research on various spirits and ghosts gradually became a little more eyebrow-raising.
In fact, there was no need for any research, what he was doing now was just a practical verification of the Ghost Sect materials in his hand and the codex records of Grandma Wu.
The more he studied, the more indignant he became at the Demon Dao Actions.
"If this path is just cultivated by oneself, then it will be fine, but there is another one, which really destroys human nature......
There are two types of ghost cultivation, one is to actively become a ghost, and the other is to passively become a ghost.
Some people are greedy for eternal life after death, and would rather turn into a ghost than let their souls collapse, not to mention this for the time being, what Li Zhen is really dissatisfied with is the ten thousand soul flags now.
Of course, it is not the dissatisfaction with the spirits themselves, but the act of restraining them, disobeying the will of the living, forcibly turning them into ghosts, and not being able to rest in peace.
The ghost sect seems to be good at this, and the Lin Rouniang I saw before launched the bad habit of marrying the Jiang God, drowned alive and was used as a bride, and it is the same way.
In the barren mountains, three sticks of incense are inserted on the ground, the sun is burning, and the smoke is curling.
The new incense refined by Li Zhen is rising with a pure white milk-like hairspring, as if the pillar of smoke is going straight to the heavens.
Li Zhen took out the orb, put the soul in it to it, and then launched a ban and released it.
"Shhh
The scented ghost, all of a sudden, was like a mud washed, and a large amount of pitch-black smoke floated out of the soul.
The terrifying ghost, which was already swollen and festering, with pus flowing all over its body, was quickly lost and transformed into an ordinary person.
"It worked!"
A touch of surprise welled up in Li Zhen's heart.
"This Ascending Spirit Fragrance is really useful, it can wash away the yin and turbid qi in the ghosts, and restore the spirit. ”
According to the information of the Ghost Sect, the vast majority of ghost slaves and evil ghosts are born because of the accumulation of yin and evil, and the resentment cannot be dissolved, and when they are driven by their masters to do evil, more and more resentment and curses accumulate on their bodies, and they will deteriorate and turn into powerful ghosts.
After a long time, it is even possible to regain wisdom through psychic.
Li Zhen couldn't bear the depravity of the souls of these innocent people who died in vain, and after death, he still suffered from this kind of sinking, so he came up with such a wonderful use of incense with the ability to reduce the degree, and tried to exceed, but the result was really able to wash away their sins.
After a while, I saw that the spirit had regained the image of a middle-aged man, except that the body was transparent, like a projection, and the appearance was almost the same as before his death.
Unlike Li Zhen, who can be out of his body, his spirit remains awake without the support of brains and other things, so he is still in a daze, standing still in place.
The difference is that at this time, when he is fumigated by the Ascending Spirit Incense, it is no longer a pain, but a pleasure.
It's like bathing and cleaning, washing away the mud and dirt.
Li Zhen kept all this in his heart.
"It has the power to purify and cleanse...... It also seems to have the effect of weakening the ghosts!"
"In this way, if you encounter a monk from the Ghost Sect again in the future, you will really have the ability to restrain yourself. ”
"However, it is still doubtful whether they can deal with blood spirits or other types of ghosts, and those ghost cultivators who have wisdom and take the initiative to refine yin evil may not be limited by it. ”
This is determined by the characteristics of the ghost cultivation itself, some ghost cultivation itself refines, the yin body is originally clean, and the yin is its characteristic, how to wash it again?
As for being evil and sinking, that was his own choice, not caused by the dust of his soul after being polluted by turbidity.
At this time, the Ascending Spiritual Incense may completely lose its effect.
But these can be talked about later, and what Li Zhen cares more about at the moment is still those unjust souls in the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
They can finally be purified and liberated.
Soon, Li Zhen took out a batch of Ascending Spiritual Incense that he had made, lit it on this barren mountain, and then stood the Ten Thousand Souls Banner on it.
As the smoke billowed out, more and more souls returned to their original appearance, dissipating with peace and indifference......
At this moment, Li Zhenhu's heart felt something.
In the inner cave sky, a golden cloud of merit detached, and the glow dimmed.
Moments later, it was gone!
