Yin and Yang Taoist Code

"Missing? Stolen?"

"have no idea."

"I don't know? Boy, do you think I'm easy to talk to?"

With a sharp look, Feng Zixuan immediately leaned against the back of the chair. The indescribable pressure made him breathless, and the omnipresent spiritual energy of heaven and earth around him suddenly disappeared, as if it had all left him.

He desperately stimulated his Dantian circulation for three times, and the pressure was slightly relieved. He didn't bother to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, and waved his hands quickly: "Senior, calm down, I know that I don't believe it, but I swear with the Taoist heart, what I said is true." There is absolutely no intention of deception. The body of Third Disciple Han has indeed disappeared, but we don’t know how he disappeared. This is also the reason why my father is so sad. I hope our seniors will learn from it!"

The pressure subsided and the Taoist priest's expression softened again.

"Speak more carefully."

"yes!"

Feng Zixuan hurriedly responded, glanced at the Taoist priest with lingering fear, and took a long breath to calm down.

"That day, my third brother died of love. In grief, my father upheld the ancestral system and decided to take the third brother's body back to the family for burial. Because this place is too close to the ghost land, the death energy is much stronger than the inner realm. In order to prevent the third brother from being resentful, it is difficult to The corpse turned into a ghost, so after discussing with the clan elders, my father decided to open an altar to perform the 7749 Days of Transcendence before letting the third brother rest in peace."

"Everything was fine at the beginning. It was not until the 49th day when the ceremony was over that we were about to seal the coffin and put it into the coffin. We realized that something was wrong. The weight of the inner coffin had become lighter!"

"After my father learned about it, he immediately ordered the coffin to be opened for inspection. When he opened it, he found that there was nothing in the coffin, and the body of the third brother was missing! There were more than a hundred clan members who were keeping watch during the salvation, and my father never left even half a step. Except for my father, me and my second brother, no one else had the chance to come into contact with the third brother, but the third brother still disappeared under our noses, and the matter is still an unsolved case! "

"Fortunately, not many people opened the coffin for inspection. Apart from us, father and son, only three clan elders were present. In order to prevent rumors from causing panic in the clan, and to safeguard the reputation of my third brother after his death, my father and After discussion, the three clan elders jointly suppressed the matter, and the empty coffin was placed in the coffin and buried in the Feng family's ancestral mausoleum, and the third brother's tablet was included in the day and night incense in the ancestral hall."

"Outsiders thought that the matter was over, but only a few of us knew that the matter was not over at all. Since then, my father has been secretly searching, trying to find out the whereabouts of the third brother, but unfortunately he has been unsuccessful. As time goes by, my father gradually fell into heart disease. Then my temperament changed drastically for unknown reasons. I thought my father was suffering from depression and had become ill. I had explicitly or implicitly reminded him several times to be careful, but he scolded me every time until that day. Late at night, when my father was about to kill me, he suddenly woke up, left those words in a hurry, then typed me out, and died together with the others. "

"Actually, I had suspected that my father's matter was related to the disappearance of my third brother's body, but there was no evidence, and it was impossible for my father's cultivation to be haunted by resentful ghosts, so I put this idea aside. But today I heard my senior also mention this matter, I don’t want to step on this, I beg you to help me find out the cause of my father’s death and the whereabouts of my third brother!”

Feng Zixuan stood up and bowed to the ground, speaking sincerely.

When the dignified head of the Feng family performed such a grand ceremony, most people would be unable to sit still, but the Taoist priest seemed unaware that the old god was sitting there, stroking his chin and thinking about his own thoughts.

After a long time, the Taoist priest suddenly asked: "You mean you pulled Feng Zixuan's body back and then transcended it for seventy-seven forty-nine days without leaving even half a step?"

"Yes!" Feng Zixuan nodded affirmatively.

"Are you sure you brought him back? There was no accident on the way? Are you sure the body was still there when you brought it into the house?"

Feng Zixuan nodded and said: "Confirmed! The third brother was brought back in the arms of my father. He never left his body along the way. The second brother and I were always with him. In addition, hundreds of Feng family disciples who were traveling with us saw it with our own eyes! It was the same when we put the third brother into the coffin after we came back. My father put the third brother into the coffin with his hands. My second brother and I arranged the remains of the third brother. We also closed the coffin lid with our own hands. The three of us, father and son, kept doing this. The mourners did not move away from the coffin, and no one opened the coffin lid until the ceremony was over. Because the weight of the coffin was not right, we noticed something was wrong. After opening the coffin lid, the body of the third brother had disappeared. To this day. It’s extremely weird to think about it.”

"Well, it's really scary."

After muttering something to himself, the Taoist priest asked again: "If you are to be saved, just be saved. Why are you sealing the coffin lid? Whoever offers salvation does not seal the coffin after the ritual has been completed. Is it a person or a coffin that you are saving?"

Feng Zixuan said helplessly: "Senior, this is a very thin line between life and death! Even if my Feng family is strictly sealed and guarded, there is no guarantee that evil spirits will penetrate in. If it causes a corpse transformation, it will be troublesome. Therefore, when our Feng family performs salvation, we seal the coffin first and then open the ritual. In this way, even if the grievances cannot be completely resolved, at least the possibility of corpse transformation is eliminated. Everyone who can enter the clan ancestral hall is a proud member of the Feng family, and his cultivation level is at least high. Above the Taoist body, if this kind of Taoism turns into a corpse, the senior should know the result."

"Well, at least the corpse in the Taoist stage is an old zombie with copper skin and iron bones. If the corpse in the ascension stage becomes either a zombie king or a ghost king. I say you are the same, you can just burn it to ashes, and you don't have anything to worry about. , If you insist on setting up some kind of soul-sacrifice guard, aren’t you causing trouble for yourself?”

The Taoist priest's words hit the nail on the head, and Feng Zixuan smiled bitterly in silence.

He knew that the method taught by the Taoist priest was the safest, but what could he do if his ancestors made it like this?

Moreover, the Feng family's ancestral mausoleum is not that simple. The ancestors buried in it not only preserved the whole corpses but also had other indescribable magical functions. This magical function is what Taoists call spiritual guardians.

The higher the monk's cultivation level, the more he wants to find a geomantic treasure land as a burial ground before the end. The reason is not that he hopes that the geomantic omen there will bless him in the next life, as ordinary people think, but he is afraid that he will gain any benefits in reincarnation. His own corpse undergoes strange changes, affecting innocent people.

Unless the fire is completely burned out, as long as there are corpses left, it may lead to various unpredictable changes.

For example, corpses turn into vicious zombies, or corpses are used to refine zombie magic weapons and other things. Although death is like a lamp going out, no one would want their body to be ruined like this.

The Feng family used a similar principle to turn the remains of their ancestors into sacrificial spirits to protect the family. The difference is that the Feng family's sacrifices to the spirits are all voluntary. In some cases such as Feng Zihan's, the grievances will be resolved through salvation before being laid to rest. After day and night incense worship by blood-connected tribesmen, as well as some other secret methods that are kept secret, the soul of the deceased ascends to heaven and enters reincarnation, and the remains left behind will undergo strange changes. The residual thoughts left on the remains will be combined with the power of worship. Transformed into a touch of divinity, this touch of divinity is the sacrificial spirit.

The sacrificial spirit has no subjective consciousness, only some fighting instincts and a strong desire to protect the family. As long as the sacrificial spirits remain alive, they will defend the safety of the family to the death. When a family encounters a great change, and they are awakened by special means, they will merge with the corpses they store and turn into soul-sacrifice guards who are not afraid of life and death, protecting the family and their blood relatives without hesitation.

Sacrifice spirits are not classified as good or bad, they only exist to protect the family. But they belong to the genus of the dead after all. No matter what name they are created under, they are all shameless to decent monks.

Super powers such as Taixu Palace and the Four Mobei Sects do not have the habit of raising soul-sacrifice guards because of their numerous disciples. But the Dayan Dynasty did. Perhaps in order to beautify itself, or perhaps to appease the emotions of other monks, the Dayan Dynasty gave the spirit guards a nice and decent name - "heroic spirit".

Many people secretly laughed at the way a bitch built a memorial arch.

The Feng family's sacrifice to raise heroic spirits is firstly an ancestral system, and secondly, there is no other way around it.

The line between life and death is as long as the sky. The only two families guarding this place are the Feng family and the Gong family. Without any foreign aid and refusing any foreign aid, they can only rely on themselves. They can just fight with each other on weekdays. Once a large-scale war breaks out, relying on the two families How can the manpower prevent this?

Therefore, sacrificing spirits has become their only method and their main combat power.

For countless years, countless members of the Feng family shed their heads and shed blood, and then turned into sacrifices and fought again. They did not stop until their bodies disappeared and their thoughts were turned into ashes. Therefore, the sacrificial spirits, which have always been shameful to humans, are sacred and worthy of respect in their eyes, and only tribesmen above the Tao womb stage are qualified to become sacrificial spirits, which makes the status of the sacrificial spirits virtually higher. One level.

Spirit worship is not only a tool to protect the family, but also a way for them to commemorate the dead. Every time they think of their ancestors' blood relatives protecting them even after death, the hearts of every descendant are filled with admiration and pride. At that time, his morale was also lifted higher, and he became a strong soldier who was not afraid of death.

So the Taoist priest said that they were asking for trouble, and Feng Zixuan was also in trouble. If they did not rely on the Soul Sacrifice Guards, relying only on the two families' own combat power and many secret formation restrictions, they would not be able to withstand the pressure of life and death. It would be good if they could protect themselves.

"Come on, take me to see your brother's coffin."

The Taoist priest stood up with Zi Yuan, his tone showing that he could not refuse.

Feng Zixuan was hesitant to let an outsider enter the family ancestral hall. Even if this person was a Taoist Master from Heaven, it would be inconsistent with etiquette. According to the ancestral system, it would be an insult to the ancestors.

But after weighing it, he nodded in agreement.

Not only because the Taoist priest is the Taoist Master of Heaven, he also wants to find out what is going on.

Ever since his father and the clan elders died and he took over as head of the family, the Feng family has been in peace. Until this Wolong meeting, the Feng family sent people there as usual, and what happened to Feng Daolin happened again.

In the Taixu Palace, the Feng family monks and the ghost clan joined forces. When Feng Zixuan learned about it, his first reaction was to think of Feng Daolin and several clan elders, and his heart skipped a beat.

He discovered that the death of his father and clan elders was not the end of that strange thing, but just a chapter. That weirdness was still lurking in the Feng family, waiting for an opportunity to burst out at some point.

Fortunately, this time it was in Taixu Palace. If this happened during a battle with the ghost clan, the consequences would be disastrous.
