It is indeed safe in Disorder City. Cizhao Ren has never caused him any trouble in the past few years, but here he has also been cut off from the outside world. He can only hear about what happened in Yuling Continent from Yanniang.
.
Nowadays, the scribes outside have become active. Although he cannot leave here for the time being, Jiang Yan thinks that he must obtain enough information from the outside.
Jiang Yan has been working hard these years, but he still falls short.
A corner of the yard was filled with various paper figurines. Jiang Yan made some bamboo into bamboo filaments and pressed them with his hands to create perfect curves.
"Senior brother, here you go..."
Six-year-old Lu Deng struggled to drag two bamboos into the yard. Jiang Yan's expression dropped as soon as he saw it.
"Little Shitou, didn't I tell you not to let him do these jobs?"
The little gardener back then has now grown into a gentle young man. Hearing the master blaming the little gardener, he did not refute, but just lowered his head and said, "Oh."
Yaya is a witch who is not afraid of anything and she never suffers any loss. However, the submissive nature of her second apprentice, the little gardener, makes Jiang Yan feel helpless, even though Jiang Yan knows that it must be Lu Deng himself who has misunderstood Cheng Qiang.
Little gardener, he won't argue.
After finishing tying the paper in his hand, Jiang Yan's fingertips flowed Yin energy into the paper, and soon the paper began to move.
Even Wei Changli was defeated in the Battle of Qingdu. It would be difficult to deal with the next big crisis if he only relied on the methods of scribes, so Jiang Lun began to develop the methods of color craftsmen.
Each of the zacai in his hand can move like a normal person, and even the movements they make are no different from real people, but this is far from enough, because Jiang Yan wants these zacai to have the means of an enlightened person.
It had been six years, and Jiang Yan was still missing the last step.
"Jiang Clan? Jiang Clan?"
When someone shouted, Lu Deng was the first to get up from the ground and walked happily out of the yard. The person who came was wearing very simple coarse clothes, but it was hard to resist the aura of this woman.
This woman's name was Qing Yi, and Jiang Yan had met her when he first came to Discord City. At that time, he didn't know that Jiang Lin was the famous ferryman of Hengdi River, and Qing Yi was Jiang Lin's wife.
Since Jiang Lun moved here, it was very close to the Hengsheng River, so Qing Yi would often make some delicious food and send it over, especially the first-hand water shield and fish soup, which is simply out of this world.
"Sister-in-law, you are here!"
"I made fish soup for you, come down and try it." Qing Yi said.
Also coming with Qing Yi was Jiang Lin, but Jiang Lin just called him Brother Jiang Yan.
The names of the three people were very confusing. As a strong man above the ninth level in the Yuling Continent, Jiang Lin had to shamelessly call Jiang Yan brother, and Jiang Yan could only call Jiang Lin's wife sister-in-law.
"Brother, are you studying your paper tie again?" Jiang Lin asked playfully.
"Almost, always almost, these paper sticks can perfectly reproduce human movements, but they still cannot grasp the power of enlightenment." Jiang Yan sighed.
"Life and death, yin and yang are originally opposites. If you want dead things to have the power of living people, of course it won't be that simple."
Jiang Lin hit the key point in one sentence, and Jiang Yan suddenly remembered that Jiang Lin in front of him was also a rare possessor of Yin enlightenment. The ferryman's duty was to send those who had committed heinous crimes and found it difficult to enter reincarnation to the afterlife.
"Lao Jiang, I remember that the ferryman is also a kind of Yin enlightenment, can you teach me?"
I have been working behind closed doors for these years, but I have ignored that there are experts who are proficient in this skill around me.
"I have nothing to advise you. The ferryman is indeed Yin Enlightenment and can control the power of Yin, but if you want to make your paper man enlightened, this is no longer what Yin Enlightenment can do.
If your idea is feasible, then there are people in Yuling Continent who can really help you!"
"You are talking about Master Zhang Lingsu of Tianxin Mansion. He is far away in Xuanpu Mountain. Is it possible that I should go to Daocheng to ask?"
Zhang Lingsu is the closest thing to an immortal in Yuling Continent. He is proficient in both Yin and Yang, but it is not practical to find Zhang Lingsu.
"Besides Zhang Lingsu, there is someone who can help you, and this person is in Discord City."
"Seriously?" Jiang Yan stood up directly.
"Of course, how could I lie to you."
"Take me to him quickly."
"Don't rush it now, let's drink some fish soup first."
Qing Yi brought over two bowls of fish soup. Jiang Yan had been trapped by the new technique he created for six years without making any progress. Now that he heard about such an opportunity, he still wanted to drink fish soup.
After drinking the fish soup in one gulp, he left Jiang Lin in a hurry.
When Jiang Yan saw the person Jiang Lin was talking about, there was surprise in his eyes.
"Senior, I didn't expect to meet you again in Discord City!"
This man was lying in the thatch and sleeping. He was wearing a tattered Taoist robe, and the shoes on his feet had several big holes, and his toes were exposed. There was a Bagua diagram on his chest and back, and he had a red gourd on his waist.
, and he also carried a spiritual tablet on his back, writing a letter to Wang Haifeng’s spiritual tablet!
"Do you know this insane Taoist priest?" Jiang Lin asked.
"I know, this is the senior who passed me the Book of Saviors and Taishang Qin Xinwen."
After the crazy Taoist priest saw Jiang Lin and Jiang Gu, he plucked the messy thatch on his body and smiled innocently. His mental state was obviously not normal.
"This old Taoist priest was a top-notch figure when he was young. He was no less generous than your master, Mr. Lu Daoxuan, and he even almost replaced Zhang Lingsu as the head of Tianxin Mansion.
It’s a pity that he suffered a sudden change and lost his mind, so he has been wandering crazily in Yuling Continent for so many years.”
Jiang Lin felt a little sad when he mentioned what happened to the old Taoist priest. Jiang Yan also knew that this insane Taoist priest was an expert from outside the world, but he didn't expect him to be so strong.
"Taoist Priest, I have some questions about spiritual practice that I would like to ask you for advice."
After Jiang Yan finished speaking, the Taoist priest Que paid no attention to him, but stood up and staggered away towards the distance, singing Taoist sentiments in his mouth.
"White clouds, yellow cranes, and Taoist people are like a harp, a sword, and a cup of tea. The feathers are often smoky, but they don't stain the peach and plum blossoms in the world."
"There are things about the old Taoist priest that you can't escape even if you want to." Jiang Lin shouted, "Don't forget, you owe the Jiang family a big favor!"
The mad Taoist priest stood there for a long time before speaking.
"Did you know that the technique you created is too heaven-defying and will disrupt the yin and yang of life and death?"
"Stop being alarmist. This rhetoric may scare other people, but it cannot scare the people of the Jiang family. In your eyes, the people of the Jiang family are the descendants of unpardonable sins, and the meaning of the existence of Yin and Yang enlightenment is to subvert the Yin and Yang of life and death.
, of course we have to do something shocking." Jiang Lin retorted.
"The founder of Tianxin Mansion realized Yin and Yang from the complicated and obscure laws of nature in the savage era. Yin does not produce and Yang does not grow. Yin and Yang are in opposition but merge with each other at the same time."
"Taoist Priest, what do you mean is that my zhizha has only yin but no yang, so I cannot have the power of enlightenment?" Jiang Yan asked.
"It's actually very easy to make your paper tie look like a real person. You only need one thing to do it."
"Please ask the Taoist Priest for advice on anything."
Suddenly Jiang Gu found that the space outside him was completely imprisoned, and the voice of the crazy Taoist priest appeared in his sea of consciousness.
"The human heart, as long as you put the heart of a living person into it, you can even create a new life!"
"People's hearts?"
Jiang Yan's heart skipped a beat, this was too cruel.
"I owe Mr. Jiang a favor. Here is a scripture on how to take a living person's heart and cast a spell. Use this scripture to repay the favor."
If Zhizha can be given the power of a living person, this will undoubtedly be a great help to Jiang Yan. He will definitely make greater progress as a color holder. But is it really necessary to use the heart of a living person to cast spells?
"Most of the people in Discord City are wanted criminals from the Eight Prefectures. If you kill these people and take their hearts, the people from the Eight Prefectures will only thank you. What are you still hesitating about?"
For six whole years, Jiang Gu was unable to find a solution. Now that the solution was right in front of him, it was an irresistible temptation for him. Once he succeeded in practicing, he could create an army of practitioners by himself.
!
Jiang Yan raised his hand and grasped the secret method, but he chose to stop when he was close to the secret method.
"Although the people in Discord City are the most wanted criminals in the Eight Prefectures, I have interacted with them over the years and found that these people themselves are not heinous people. They all have their own difficulties.
Moreover, I am a disciple of Lu Daoxuan, the next head of the Wenfu chosen by Mr. Wei. If I practice such evil skills, the Wenfu will be shamed for thousands of years because of me.
It doesn’t matter if I don’t want this secret method, I believe that one day I will be able to find a way by myself!”
Many special enlightenment and unparalleled enlightenment practices are extremely difficult, precisely because there is no previous experience to refer to, no one can guide them in their practice, and everything can only be groped in the dark.
If six years doesn't work, then seven years. If seven years doesn't work, then ten years. If ten years doesn't work, then choose another direction!
But he always kept Wei Changli's last advice to him. If he made a mistake, he would be doomed!
Seeing that Jiang Yan had made his choice, the Taoist priest finally smiled.
"You passed the test just now."
"test?"
"There used to be people with evil intentions in Tianxin Mansion who pursued evil arts for their own selfish desires, which caused thousands of ghosts to come to the world and turned a state into a ghost monster. Therefore, the most evil magic in the world is the human heart.
Senior brother Lu Daoxuan and senior brother Wei Changli have taught you a good apprentice. For the sake of the two senior brothers and the ancestors of the Jiang family, I will help you this time!"
"Do you know how everything in the world is made up?"
"It is said in the Sutra of Saving People that all things in the world are transformed by the two qi of yin and yang."
"Yes, all things in the world, including humans, are formed by the two qi of yin and yang, but the two qi of yin and yang cannot make up all the things in the world."
What the Taoist priest said was a bit difficult for Jiang Yan to understand.
"why is that?"
"Change, it is not yin and yang that really make up the world, but change. It is the changes caused by yin and yang that create all things.
This change of yin and yang has mysterious power. This is also the supreme secret of Tianxin Mansion, and it is also the one that the sages realized from the way of heaven!
If you can understand the changing power of yin and yang, you can give life to stubborn rocks and life to paper."
