Chapter Seventeen
In the Taoist book, bound together with "The Miraculous Technique of Transforming Tigers", there is also a legend about the tiger god originating from the southwest of China in Chi County.
Many local Miao people believe that after a person dies, he can come back to life if he unites with a tiger.
Therefore, a funeral tradition has been maintained for a long time: the body is wrapped in tiger skin and cremated. After death, the person may transform into a tiger and regain life in the form of a tiger.
This tradition continued over the years, and I don’t know how long it took before some of the shamans who presided over the sacrifices gradually acquired this side magic in their dreams.
It was then included in the southern leftist sect [Xiangshan Sect] and became one of the "Xiangshan Seventy-two Magic Techniques".
Depending on the level of cultivation, this [Tiger Transformation Technique] will have two levels of magical power after it is completed.
The first level [Fake Tiger]: pray to the tiger hair and turn it into a fake tiger.
By setting up an altar, you can pray to turn your 108 hairs into 108 tiger hairs. Each tiger hair can transform into a tiger. It has the power of a tiger but not its power, but it is enough to scare wild animals and scare away evil spirits.
Whenever there is a danger when hiking and wading alone in the countryside, use this fake tiger as a feint to avoid all dangers and good luck!
The second level [Tiger Transformation]: Gradually get closer to tigers, imitating the third level of martial arts [Psychic Transformation], and the whole person can transform into a real tiger.
He also communicates between life and death, and possesses the innate magical power to control the evil wind, enslave, and drive ghosts.
"It's so dangerous. If Taoist Wild Dog masters this technique and makes up for his own weakness and fear of ghosts and ghosts, he might actually be able to escape."
Seeing the introduction of [Tiger Transformation Technique], Wang Yuan was frightened but also a little excited.
This technique can be used in combat or magic. Once practiced, it can achieve all-round benefits and greatly increase combat effectiveness.
However, its precepts and taboos are also very strict.
Commandments and taboos:
[1. The four pillars and eight characters must contain "Yin". 】
[2. Eat no less than twenty kilograms of meat per month. If you eat less than one kilogram, you will cut off one kilogram of meat. If you eat two kilograms less, you will peel two kilograms of meat...
Note: The cutting part can be customized, and the meat can be removed painlessly.】
[3. After transforming into a tiger, the appetite is greatly increased. Human children are an almost irresistible temptation for practitioners, but they must not eat humans! Do not eat humans! Do not eat humans!
As long as the cannibals become demons and alienate immediately, there is no way to reverse it.】
[4] Every year on Yin month (the first month), Yin day (there is a Yin day every twelve days, the specifics are uncertain), and Yin hour (from 3 to 5 am), set up an altar facing the "Wei Su" of Qisu in the west, and worship chickens and ducks.
, fish, dolphin.
For every missing item, the practitioner's own heart, liver, spleen, and kidney will be randomly substituted.】
Wang Yuan fell into deep thought.
“Among the three Taoist methods, excluding the [Human Face Painting and Skin Technique] which cannot be practiced, the most promising one is definitely the complete version of [Gathering Beasts and Adjusting Birds Technique].
After completing the cultivation, you can not only summon wild beasts and ferocious birds, but also control, enlighten and transform them to form a series of powerful fighting abilities.
Eagles and birds are scouting in the sky, lions, wolves, tigers and leopards are rushing on the ground, and giant man-eating crocodiles are swimming in the water...
But with only [Beast Gathering Magic], it is not only very dangerous, but also lacks potential and makes it impossible to enter the Tao.
However, if you can cooperate with [Tiger Transformation Technique], at least you don’t have to worry about being backlashed at will, and you can also enrich your combat methods, and you can achieve many things with one stone."
With this thought in mind, he also turned to the last page of the book, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
Note: It is necessary to know that "one is destiny, two is luck, three is feng shui, four is accumulation of yin virtue and five is reading".
The religious sects have gods to suppress their Qi, but other sects only rely on themselves, so "fate" is the most important thing.
If you are born with the four-pillar horoscope of [Yin Zi with Seal] or [White Tiger Holding Power], two precious tiger zodiac signs, or if you are born with a different phase of [tiger phase], you will be immune to the four precepts.
Part of the immune commandment three is that when transforming into a tiger, the appetite for humans is weakened, but it is still forbidden to eat humans.
"Choose it! You must choose it!"
Wang Yuan no longer hesitated. Relying on his fate of [White Tiger Holding Power], most of the precepts he needed to abide by were reduced by half. From now on, he only needed to pay attention to eating more meat.
Majoring in [The Magic of Transforming Tigers] and minoring in [The Magic of Gathering Beasts]!
Behind it is the scrawled essay written by Wild Dog Taoist as usual, and it is longer than the previous two:
"How unfair is fate to me?
Not only does he not have an extraordinary appearance, extraordinary family, extraordinary wealth, nor even an extraordinary destiny!
Even if I rely on the [Tiger Transformation Technique] that I acquired in advance with help from Master Ge, it cannot fundamentally solve my problem.
He was one of the participants in the destruction of the 'Xiangshan Sect' back then, and he must have the [Magic of Taming Birds] that can complement the [Method of Gathering Beasts and Taming Birds]!
I just doubt my devotion to the Holy Mother, and worry that I will change my family before [receiving the enshrinement] and no longer enter Taoism through the 'Peach Shinto' method.
Don’t think that I don’t know, the things in [Owl God’s Tomb] are also from the outside world, and you can’t hide your ideas from me!”
The resentment written between the lines by Taoist Wild Dog seems to overflow from the page.
“I didn’t expect that there would be an unexpected harvest.
What Ge Daoye is seeking is also related to spiritual practice? I just don’t know if it is some kind of special Taoist method or a treasure?
It’s a pity that Taoist Wild Dog did not leave any record of what kind of Taoist practices Ge Daoye practiced. It would be great if we could know the [commandments and taboos] that Ge Daoye needs to abide by.”
Although Wang Yuan arrived in the "Land of the Dead", he had already escaped a series of killings arranged by Wang Yunhu and Ge Daoye.
But he found that in the "Little Book of Life and Death", his [luck] was still "-5, a ray of light from the sky, three fires swaying, bad luck!"
There is no difference compared to the original.
Immediately let him wake up again and not be careless and complacent.
Perhaps it is just as Taoist Taoist Wild Dog said: "As long as you are within the scope of Beimang Mountain, you will die sooner or later."
Wang and Ge are just pushers, and their biggest crisis may still be [Owl God's Tomb].
Maybe when the two-hundred-year festival comes, just like the [Yanglao Pavilions] scattered around Beimang Mountain, I will be swallowed up by the [Owl God Tomb] in an instant!
Wang Yuan's eyes flickered, and he became more and more eager to get started with Taoism.
No matter how things develop, only real power can hedge risks.
Let yourself temporarily jump out of the quagmire, have the opportunity to peek into the secret from fifteen years ago, and successfully escape with your life.
Fortunately.
After using all his dirty tricks to kill Wang Cheng and the Taoist Wild Dog one after another, he now has some confidence.
Not only did he gain three Taoist methods, but he also recorded a full 367 points of [Yin De].
Including the original 52 points, it has exceeded 400 points, and the ability to deal with risks has been greatly improved.
The only thing that surprised him was that killing a wild dog Taoist actually resulted in more gains than killing Fish Face [Weird] and the Corpse Book.
As a side note, this human warlock is far more evil than Fish Face [Weird]!
The "human-shaped man" is more terrifying than the "human-shaped man".
Wang Yuan carefully put away the Taoist book and lit a fire on the wild dog Taoist priest and the group of wild dogs whose mummies were dryer than firewood, completely destroying their corpses.
The hustle and bustle of the ghost street behind me is still there, and becomes more and more lively as the night gets darker.
Wang Yuan, who had received great benefits, had no intention of thanking these "uncles and aunts".
"Although grandpa said that we should have good relations with the residents on the mountain, unfortunately not all 'neighbors' living in the 'Land of the Dead' can communicate normally."
Unless you have a strange destiny, harbor great hatred, grievance, or enmity, or have arranged corresponding spells and rituals during your lifetime.
After most people die and become ghosts, they have transformed into another life form that is completely different from the living ones.
It seems that we live in the same world as living people, but barriers are everywhere.
This is what the "nonsense nonsense" that ordinary people can't understand is all about.
Most of the wandering spirits and evil ghosts are not fully intelligent and will only act according to their established habits, such as singing opera, drinking wine, playing chess... until they disappear.
Most of the things in this night market street fall into this category.
But the relative he was planning to defect to was different.
He took out the sachet as red as blood from his clothes again and held it in his hand.
Wang Yuan tried his best to suppress his legs that were a little weak due to conditioned reflexes, secretly encouraged himself, and prepared to walk towards the depths of the "Land of the Dead".
In the dim light, a huge locust tree nearly thirty meters high has appeared there.
At this moment, the sound of suona playing "咿咿咿亚亚" suddenly came to his ears.
Looking around, no matter whether it was the dark Beiman Mountain or the bustling streets, the source of the sound could not be found at all.
But in the puddle left by the rain at Wang Yuan's feet, a festive procession was gradually reflected.
Four young men in red were carrying a gorgeous vermilion sedan, and they were crowding around, playing and playing, as if they were a team welcoming the bride.
They appeared from the depths of the "Dead Man's Country", seemingly slow but actually very fast, and rushed towards Wang Yuan's direction.
"Get up the sedan!"
As a singing and drinking sound with a ghostly air sounded out, the puddles on the ground suddenly rippled, and the sedan curtain flickered slightly.
Chapter completed!
