The dark gemstone in his hand is shaped a bit like a heart, and it feels cold and prickly.
Gu Chen felt the extreme fear that even affected the leader of the Hidden Dragon Clan who had cultivated in the Seventh Vehicle Realm, just when he took over the gem.
However, before fear could breed any chaos in his mind, it was washed away by the boiling blood that was sensed in his body.
So in just a moment, Gu Chen returned to normal. This evil gem could not cause any trouble in front of Yao Gu's tyrant body.
Gu Chen admired the gem in his hand and estimated that it was still some distance away from the border of Ze Kingdom. Gu Chen started chatting with the Clay Bodhisattva.
"Is it because of this gem that you end up hiding in the ancient swamp? Although this gem is strange, it seems to be completely different from the Taoism you practice. Is it worth it?" Gu Chen asked flatly.
"It's not just because of the value of this thing that we steal it." Ni Bodhisattva gritted his teeth and said, something was obviously wrong with his expression.
"Oh? Is there another secret?" Gu Chen asked.
The Clay Bodhisattva was silent, watching Gu Chen toss the Fear Stone like an ordinary stone, and finally said: "The owner of this gem is the owner of the Fear Castle. This person killed one of my confidante, in order to take revenge."
He, I stole this gem from him."
"So that's it, just stealing his things, does that count as revenge?" Gu Chen said.
There was no malicious intention in these words, but Ni Bodhisattva felt a little uncomfortable when he heard it, and there was even a gloom on his face.
"It is rumored that there are five heart-shaped stones in the world, which are the condensed five emotions of countless living beings. There are different opinions on how the heart-shaped stones came from, and there is no single most convincing answer."
"However, everyone knows the evil ways of the heart-shaped stone and its benefits to some monks with special orthodoxy."
"The Fear Stone is one of the five heart-shaped stones. It is a collection of fears in the world. The Lord of the Fear Castle follows a very special path of fear, so this Fear Stone is a priceless treasure to him, and is even related to him.
The future of cultivation."
"Therefore, having this Fear Stone stolen by me is even more uncomfortable than killing him!"
The Clay Bodhisattva showed a bit of a sinister smile, looking like he was happy to have his great revenge avenged.
However, Gu Chen felt that he was just trying to convince himself, and asked again: "In the mud cave earlier, you said that you were different from the Hidden Dragon Clan. You were just hiding your capabilities and biding your time. I don't know what you meant specifically?"
A trace of depression briefly flashed across Ni Bodhisattva's face, and he quickly replied, "Of course I plan to go out again and steal him. After all, I am the greatest thief in the world!"
"Really?" Gu Chen looked at him, half-smiling.
"Otherwise?" Ni Bodhisattva's face was burning.
"Which one of the Three Thousand Little Techniques you practice is somewhat magical." Gu Chen changed the subject.
"Small Earth Technique! It is derived from the Great Earth Technique in the Bayi Art!"
"The secret of this technique is that it can blend with the laws of the earth and change the properties of the soil at will."
"According to each person's understanding, the small earth technique will show different powers and changes. I practice this technique and turn myself into a swamp body, making the Taoism mysterious and unpredictable, and I have a first-class escape ability."
Ni Bodhisattva answered happily that many people knew about the way he practiced Taoism, so it was not a big secret.
"When you attacked me earlier, the clay exploded. What happened?" Gu Chen asked with interest.
"That's explosive clay, which is also a variation of the small earth technique. Although I'm better at transforming into a swamp, the swamp can entangle and trap people, but it lacks more direct and powerful attack power. In order to make up for this weakness, I delved into another area.
This change.”
Mud Bodhisattva explained that it was suspected of showing off deliberately. A ball of muddy water rose up in his hand, and soon the water evaporated and turned into a clay sculpture.
This clay sculpture clearly looks like the Infinity Tyrannosaurus Rex. It looks lifelike, but it is much smaller.
"I practice small earth skills, and my body has completely transformed into a swamp, and the water flowing in my body is the key to Taoism."
"When I cast the spell, the water in my body completely blended with the energy of the earth, and I transformed into a swamp."
"With a little control over the water intake, I can create all kinds of clay dolls."
"Going a step further and completely evaporating the water, and going through some special changes, you can create explosive clay."
As the Clay Bodhisattva spoke, the clay sculpture of the Tyrannosaurus Rex in his hand gradually dried up and cracked, and then exploded with a bang!
The explosion was only limited to a small range, which shows the Clay Bodhisattva's exquisite control over his own Taoism.
"Water in the body is the key? What if the water in your body is exhausted?" Gu Chen thought.
"Once too much water passes through my body, the power of my Taoist skills will become weaker. In severe cases, I will not even be able to maintain the swamp state. This is an inevitable weakness and flaw in the small earth skills I practice, and it is also common to the three thousand small skills.
Characteristics, you must have heard of them, right?" said the Clay Bodhisattva.
Gu Chen nodded. Although Sanqian Xiaoshu is a derivative of Bayi Technique, it only possesses some of the mysteries of the Great Technique. It is not as perfect as the Great Technique and inevitably has some flaws.
Fang Yuan once said about the shortcomings of the Small Fate Technique compared to the Great Fate Technique, and the Great Prophet also talked about this issue.
In fact, Gu Chen suddenly asked about the Taoist teachings of the Clay Bodhisattva, not on a whim, but because he wanted to learn more about the Bayi Technique.
As the strongest Taoist method in the Hongmeng Taoist world, there will definitely be opportunities for confrontation in the future, so we can first understand what is good or bad.
What's more, he once fell under the Great Fate Technique, so he was naturally particularly concerned about everything related to the Bayi Technique.
"Listening to the tone you just spoke, are there other people who practice small earth skills? The effects of their practice are different from yours?" Gu Chen asked again.
"Yes, the small earth technique is taught by my master. I have a senior brother who has also mastered this technique. It's just different from my trick. My senior brother's small earth technique is much more square and masculine. He doesn't
He understands how the swamp changes, but his strength is superior to mine."
"Of course, his little earth technique also has weaknesses, but it's just different from mine."
After Clay Bodhisattva finished speaking, Gu Chen was amazed that the same Taoist method, with different understandings, had completely different powers and even different weaknesses.
The minor Taoist arts alone are so broad and profound, but what about the great Taoist arts? They are probably even more varied.
The more he understood, the more Gu Chen realized that it was not easy for Fang Yuan to cast the Great Fate Technique on him in the first place.
He received a great magic spell head-on, and it was a great luck to be able to come back to life.
This also reminded him that the Great Fate Technique was definitely not as simple as what he had seen at first, and that more thorough preparations had to be made.
After learning about the mysteries of Clay Bodhisattva's Taoism in detail, he explained almost everything he knew and gave Gu Chen a lot of inspiration.
"You told me all the secrets of your Taoism, even your weaknesses. It must not be just because you have followed me, right?"
With his curiosity satisfied, Gu Chen looked at the Clay Bodhisattva with a half-smile.
