Chapter 95: Master of Talisman [Subscription Request]
Seems a little strange
Qiu Zhen's eyes fell on the immortal martial arts secret book in his hand, and he became more and more confused.
It is obvious that the behavior of the Wooden Puppet Sect is quite abnormal.
The chance to obtain the "Immortal Martial Arts" might have been obtained a year ago. It was reasonable for him to have it with him before that, but after a year, these two Yin Shen monks from the Wood Puppet Sect were still carrying it with them, which was very strange.
Even if the immortal martial arts secret book belonged to them, it didn't make sense for them to carry it with them.
Not to mention other things, the immortal martial arts secrets are mysterious and can be easily discovered by people with ulterior motives, which is not good for one's own safety.
Not to mention, this "Thirty-six Methods of Lu Zu's Return to the Dan" is extremely demonic, with a faint demonic energy, and it has to be suppressed by the [Demon-Suppressing Talisman].
It is not difficult to see that some demons from outside the domain have set their sights on the immortals' martial arts secrets and are using them as an anchor to descend into the mortal world.
"I don't know what tricks the Wooden Puppet Sect is playing."
Qiu Zhen became more and more curious, and his eyes fell on the book in his hand, especially the [Demon-Suppressing Talisman].
At first glance, this talisman looks like a demon-suppressing talisman, but it seems to be different from the common demon-suppressing talismans.
However, he couldn't figure out what it was for the time being.
Immediately, Qiu Zhenmei's spiritual body burst into golden light, and her analytical eyes fell on the demon-suppressing talisman.
[Unknown demon-suppressing talisman, analysis of the talisman head, talisman foot, and talisman orifice. Analysis in progress. This talisman contains a mysterious method. The orifice of the talisman contains two gods and demons, the Thunder God and the Six Desires Demon God, one good and one evil, forming a delicate balance.]
"What a unique and exquisitely crafted demon-suppressing talisman."
After analyzing the [Demon-Suppressing Talisman] with the help of his analytical wisdom, Qiu Zhen's expression changed slightly, and he was filled with surprise.
At present, he is not a novice in cultivating immortals. He has a good attainment in talismans and can also see the extraordinary nature of this [Demon-Suppressing Talisman].
Generally speaking, the [Talisman Orifice] of the [Demon-Suppressing Talisman] contains the Thunder God, the immortal Buddha who exorcises demons and monsters as the talisman pill to suppress demons and evil spirits.
However, the talisman of this [Demon-Suppressing Talisman] not only contemplates a Thunder God, but also a demon god. This method is truly ingenious.
As the saying goes, don't bother with two masters for one thing.
It is already extremely difficult to use one "talisman" to invite two gods. If there is a conflict accidentally, the talisman writing will fail.
At the moment, there are not only two "gods" in the talisman, but also one good and one evil. Under the situation of fierceness, they can still maintain a delicate balance and play their respective roles.
"The person who wrote the talisman had such a brilliant method that it was amazing."
Qiu Zhen was sincerely moved.
Putting aside one's standpoint, just talking about the attainment in the art of talismans, the person who writes the talisman must be a master.
He created his own talismans and magical powers, and he used them effortlessly, with the bearing of a master.
But, what is the meaning of this high-level talisman he wrote?
Qiu Zhen pondered secretly.
The book "Thor" is a genuine "demon-suppressing talisman". There is no need to elaborate on its uses. It is nothing more than protecting immortal martial arts secrets and suppressing demons.
What about the "demon" in the talisman?
What else does it do?
Qiu Zhen was secretly curious.
That person took great pains to create this talisman, it must be of great use.
If it were an ordinary cultivator, it would be difficult to know the specific magical effect of this "Demon-Suppressing Talisman" in the fog, and he would need to constantly guess and verify it from the side.
He is different.
No matter how much speculation or indirect evidence there is, it is better to try it on the spot.
Once you give it a try, you will naturally understand the effect of the "Demon God" in the book.
Others are afraid of the devil lurking in the book, but Qiu Zhen is not afraid. With his discerning eyes, he can clearly see the devil's nature in the book.
He is sure he can control the situation even if they are not his match.
When Qiu Zhen thought of this, he did not hesitate. He poured his spiritual power into it and used his magic power to bless the talisman.
"Ding~"
After his spiritual power penetrated the [Demon-Suppressing Talisman], perhaps something was triggered, and the [Demon-Suppressing Talisman] emitted rays of light, dazzling and eye-catching.
"Huhuhu~"
Immediately afterwards, gusts of cold wind suddenly blew up in the surroundings.
Streams of evil spirits rolled out from the immortal martial arts secrets book.
At first it was as thin as a thread, invisible to the naked eye, but as the evil spirit became thicker and thicker, it was like thick ink rolling, steaming up small black mushrooms and covering the surroundings.
"arrest!"
Qiu Zhen made some hand gestures, concentrated on the Yin-Yang Thunder God, and used the power of his spiritual consciousness to condense a thunder barrier around him, enveloping himself and the evil spirit.
The whole person was enveloped and swallowed by the evil spirit.
Bai Zhu has great eyesight and also mobilizes the power of wind and thunder to help Qiu Zhen strengthen the thunder barrier to prevent the evil spirit from overflowing, damaging the medicine fields, and harming the Qiu family members outside the valley.
The evil spirit was extremely violent. Even facing thunder, it was not afraid at all. It kept attacking, causing the barrier to shake.
"Stupid guy, what are you standing there for? Help the young master suppress the evil spirit!"
"Oh, boss, I understand."
After hearing Bai Zhu's urging, Xiao Zaozi finally realized what was happening and quickly used the green leaves and branches to emit the light of thunder and cast the thunder barrier.
As a sacred tree that can ward off evil spirits, jujube is the nemesis of evil spirits.
After being blessed with his thunder power, the evil spirit that had been surging out lost its arrogance, and the thunder barrier quickly became stable and firmly suppressed it.
"It is worthy of being a sacred tree that wards off evil spirits. The effect is immediate."
Qiu Zhen couldn't help but praise him.
Without the trouble of the "evil spirit" overflowing, Qiu Zhen immediately focused his attention on the demon lurking in the rolling demon clouds.
In fact, he didn't need to look for any demons. Demons descended from the void realm to the human world, were repelled and suppressed, and consumed their demonic nature. Their instinctive reaction was to find a "host" to devour, or even replace.
In the square inch thunder barrier, Qiu Zhen is the only living person, which is very tempting to the devil.
In the black cloud filled with rolling evil demonic energy, countless evil thoughts surged towards Qiu Zhen.
Qiu Zhen looked calm, waiting for the little demons to enter his body.
In just twenty or thirty breaths, fourteen evil thoughts surged into his body and rushed into his sea of consciousness.
The moment the little demons entered the sea of consciousness, their primordial spirits and Dharma bodies appeared from the heavy sea of clouds, emitting infinite golden light.
Golden light shines through the body.
Refined instantly.
Before the little demons could show off their might, they turned into a ball of pure spiritual essence, quietly sealed deep in the sea of consciousness.
On the other side, the evil cloud without evil thoughts became water without a source.
Qiu Zhen, Bai Zhu and Xiao Zaozi joined forces to mobilize the power of thunder and cleared the evil aura in less than a moment.
In the valley, the scene of the evil spirit rolling away disappeared, as if nothing had ever happened.
"Another twelve spiritual essences are obtained."
Qiu Zhen was very satisfied.
Good things like spiritual essence are naturally better when you have more.
Of course, he wasn't thinking about that right now.
Refining the evil thoughts and eliminating the evil aura, everything was as expected and not surprising.
His mind was focused on the [Demon-Suppressing Talisman] created by the Grand Master of Talismans.
Without the demonic nature, this kind of talisman is much easier to study, without any restrictions. The analytical eye continues to analyze the use of the "demon god" in the talisman.
About a quarter of an hour later.
"Summon, command, and restrict."
Qiu Zhen muttered to himself, lost in thought.
After analyzing with his keen eyes, he got a glimpse of the demonic function of the [Demon-Suppressing Talisman] and discovered its three major uses.
Summon demons, control demons, and isolate and restrict them.
Summoning and commanding are easy to understand, but as for "isolation and restriction".
This talisman seems to isolate demons above the level of "Demon General" and only summons "little demons" that are transformed by demonic thoughts.
This also explains why so many demons were refined just now, all of them were little demons with evil thoughts.
"It seems so."
After Qiu Zhen's analysis, he quickly thought of something and looked surprised.
So familiar.
Demonic disaster, a dozen little demons.
These days, he went to the Demon Suppression Division to exorcise evil spirits every day.
Recently, similar small disasters have occurred every day in Qingmu area.
At first, he didn't force the connection, but after analyzing this [Demon-Suppressing Talisman] written by the grandmaster, he suddenly understood.
I'm afraid that the inexplicable small demonic disaster that has recently broken out in Qingmu territory is not a coincidence, but the work of the Wooden Puppet Sect.
"So, these two Mukui Sect monks didn't come to me specifically to seek revenge for Yuan Hua, but it was purely coincidental that they planned to come to Qiujia Village to spread the evil disaster, but that person accidentally stumbled into my blessed land while exorcising the evil spirit."
Qiu Zhen suddenly understood and felt strange.
The two Yin God monks from the Wooden Puppet Sect took action. With their Taoism and magical powers, if they were only doing the job of spreading the "minor evil disaster", they would probably be able to succeed. However, the other party actually set their sights on him.
If there is a road to heaven, you don’t take it; if there is no door to hell, you can come to it on your own.
"I don't know what the Wooden Puppet Sect is planning."
Qiu Zhen pondered secretly.
From "Yuanhua" to the middle-aged fat Yinshen monk buying boys and girls from the thieves, and then a year later, the two of them spread the devil disaster everywhere.
It is obvious that the Wooden Puppet Sect has a clear purpose and a very strong plan.
Even if their fellow disciples died inexplicably, they seemed to have no time to care.
It is not difficult to guess that they must have more important things to do, and any hatred and disputes are ranked behind these things.
[Lü Zu's Nine-Turn Alchemy Technique] is a genuine martial arts secret book of immortals. Even if it is only an introductory martial arts book of immortals, it is an extremely precious treasure. But it turned out that it was not mastered by the core leaders of the Wooden Puppet Sect, but was distributed to their subordinates.
Right now, he even asked the two Yin Shen cultivators to use [Lü Zu's Nine Turns to Alchemy] as a medium to spread the evil disaster everywhere.
It can be said that you are willing to invest.
"Could it be that the Wood Puppet Sect has discovered an amazing immortal opportunity, but is unable to seize it at the moment, so they use this master-made demon-suppressing talisman and [Lü Zu's Nine-Turn Pill Returning Technique] to lure the demon and divert the demon to increase their chances of winning?"
Qiu Zhen couldn't help but guess secretly.
The greater the origin of the immortal, the more likely it is to attract the attention of the devil. It is not an easy task to cleanse the devil's aura and seize the immortal opportunity.
Weaken the demon through other means.
If we follow this line of thought, everything seems to be able to explain why small demonic disasters have frequently and inexplicably erupted in the Qingmu area in recent days.
The purpose of the Wooden Puppet Sect is probably not to cause destruction, but purely to weaken the power of the devil.
However, they were unwilling to pay the price of weakening and annihilating the demon, so they shifted the blame to innocent civilians.
This is consistent with the usual style of evil cultivators.
"Sir, if you look at it this way, have we accidentally discovered the secret of the Wooden Puppet Gate?"
Baizhu has always been smart. After learning about the situation, it couldn't help but feel worried:
"Will it cause trouble?"
"Trouble is definitely trouble."
