The fruit of killing life

Chapter 28 Reincarnation of life and death, saving fairy light!
The surface of this mask is as warm and tender as a girl's skin, while the inside is a piece of jelly-like red flesh.

From time to time, it undulates slightly, as if it is breathing on its own strangely like a living thing.

If you listen carefully, you will be able to faintly hear the subtle sound of chanting as if there are plants sprouting in your ears, just like when you first came into contact with "The Book of Corpse Accounts" and "Tomb of the Xiaoshen".

Corresponding to the Daoist book in Wang Yuan's hand from Taoist Wild Dog, it is exactly the "Ode to the Peach God's Transfiguration by Our Lady of the West King" recorded on the first page.

Undoubtedly, this mask that combines [Dao Ji] and [Human Face Painted Skin] has become a genuine [Surprise].

"Well, a [creepy thing] that can recite scriptures."

In the past few days, Wang Yuan has not only mastered the two Taoist methods, but also thoroughly studied the Taoist scriptures left by the wild dog Taoist, which greatly broadened his horizons.

As a sorcerer from a religious sect, even if Daoist Wild Dog has not yet entered Taoism, his knowledge and experience are far from that of a small Yinmen family like the Wang family who live in a peaceful corner.

After reading through the Daoist scriptures, he no longer only knows superficially about things like [weird] and [weird things].

According to Taoist scriptures, the biggest difference between [Scary Objects] and the magic tools and magic weapons used by practitioners is the characteristic of "alive"!
The most popular way of expressing this kind of "alive" is not being able to move, walk, or kill people, but to be able to chant scriptures.

They can actively spread all kinds of weird, evil, or scary knowledge, and they will also unconsciously attract [weird] or humans who have similar knowledge to meet them.

For example, Ge Daoye once used the "Book of Corpse Accounts" to trick tricks.

Even the causes of [Strange] and [Strange Things], Wang Yuan also found some clues from the Taoist scriptures.

He speculates that this may be the root cause of the different development directions of the two parallel worlds in the past and present.

"Although the current Great Yan Dynasty is not any dynasty in my memory, it is in line with the ancient civilization of the previous life.

There are also three emperors and five emperors, Xia, Shang, and Zhou.

Just like in the previous life, in those long time ago, no matter it was writing, knowledge, or various methods of health preservation and practice, they were firmly monopolized by the upper class elite.

Don't say it is practical knowledge, but the literacy rate is pitifully low, only two or three people out of a hundred can read.

But everything has turned a sharp corner in the era of "a hundred schools of thought contending" when the culture is prosperous and the literacy rate has been greatly improved.

In a day and night, Taoism manifests its holiness, monsters are born, and weirdness runs rampant.

Because on this day, all kinds of hidden 'knowledge' in this world suddenly came to life, and turned into [Taoism] that can make people call wind and rain, fly into the sky and escape from the ground, and even live forever! "

At this time, Wang Yuan was recalling these words in the Taoist scriptures, and he still couldn't help feeling overwhelmed, feeling unbelievable.

The [Taoism] practiced by warlocks is actually alive!

At the same time, this is also the source of Taoist Wild Dog's last raving before he died: "I often hear that it is not people who are diligent in seeking knowledge, but those who know are diligent in seeking others".

Tracing back to the source, many ancient books have left this sentence in common:
"I heard that it is not that people are constantly pursuing knowledge, but that knowledge is constantly pursuing people.

But I know that this statement is not accurate.

Knowledge is not 'pursuing' people, but 'chasing' people.

Its pursuit is as brutal and merciless as the falcon and the hound to the rabbit.

The prosperity of the Hundred Schools is not because of how powerful the Hundred Schools were at that time, but because we just happened to be caught up by those murderous 'knowledge'! "

From then on, as long as mortals obtain those secret knowledge, they can practice supernatural powers and spells, and even improve themselves step by step, until they can traverse the world and live forever.

While mortals gain power, they must also bear the consequences.

These "living" knowledge will not only bring strength to the living beings, but also inadvertently chew and swallow people slowly, turning them into minions or even food.

Combining the lessons learned from the alienation of wild dogs and Taoists with the words in the Taoist scriptures.

Wang Yuan felt that all living beings who could practice [Taoism]: warlocks, demons, spirits, ghosts, monsters..., once they violated the commandments and taboos or suffered serious injuries, they might fall into a demon and become human-eating [weird].

In principle: "knowledge" will attract similar "knowledge" to continue to aggregate, and then new "knowledge" will be born. The more you know, the higher the level, and the easier it is to encounter misfortune.

As for why "knowledge" was activated in the first place, I don't know at all based on the level of the wild dog Taoist.

Up to now, Wang Yuan has gradually gained a clear understanding of this weird practice system.

We will neither ignore risks because of attractive prospects, nor be ignorant and fearless; nor will we shrink back because of possible evil consequences.

"Others can become a dead corpse and get a [Longevity Dao Fruit], and with the help of "Little Life and Death Book", I can naturally do it."

Wang Yuan turned his gaze back to the [Strange Thing·Human Face Painted Skin] in front of him.

The commandments and taboos of [Human Face Paint Skin Method] emerged in my mind.

[[-]. Every time a painting spirit is hunted, it is necessary to help him fulfill the deepest obsession in his heart without realizing that he is dead. 】

[[-]. The interval between painting skin switching must be greater than six hours. Too frequent switching of masks will cause self-cognition confusion;

One-time use should not exceed three days. 】

[[-]. The base of the human-mask painting skin is a kind of human-mask peach-peach clothing unique to "Peach Shinto", which can only be repaired by wood life]

Once [Strange] and [Strange Thing] are alienated, there is a high probability that some of the original commandments and taboos will remain.

Wang Yuan guessed that if the wild dog Taoist finally became [weird], it is very likely that he would pretend to be a former victim and return to their home to live a normal life.

Once it is pierced, it will violently kill people.

Thinking about the familiar family members, unknowingly being replaced by an inexplicable and weird thing, and living under the same roof day and night, people can't help but get goosebumps.

As for the "living" objects such as [Strange Object], it may be slightly better than [Strange], but if you use it rashly, it will inevitably make the user take huge risks.

"Fortunately, I still have the "Small Book of Life and Death". Command the book of life and death, and summon generals to send Yan Luo!"

With a thought in Wang Yuan's mind, 419 [Yin Virtue] points had just been saved on the account and burned 300 points in an instant.

Immediately, a clear divine light shot out from between his brows, covering the mask completely.

Reincarnation of life and death, saving immortal light!
[Strange Thing·Human Face Painted Skin] Like a wild cat with fried hair, it wriggles rapidly and wants to avoid this light, but how can it be done?

At first, there were countless vicious voices yelling, and then one after another, all the flags and drums died down, and finally they turned into praises again.

After a few more breaths, a new verse was suddenly inserted into the "Ode to the Divine Transformation of the Immortal Peach by the Holy Mother of the Western King" that [Strange Thing] had been reciting in a low voice:
".The emperor's decree, the lonely soul of Chaoru, all ghosts and ghosts, and the grace of the four lives"

Blessed to the soul, Wang Yuan understood that this was the "Badu Rebirth Sutra" from "Little Book of Life and Death".

After repeating this passage three times.

Dang!

A golden bone was spat out by [Human Face Painted Skin].

Afterwards, this [creepy thing] finally completely quieted down.

The appearance has not changed much, but it has become more radiant and slightly jade-like, and it is not ordinary at a glance.

In Wang Yuan's feeling, it is still alive.

But he has changed from a high-ranking cat owner to a fully domesticated and loyal dog, and he no longer has the original aggressiveness.

Although "Little Book of Life and Death" has a small character, with the "Duhua Immortal Light" that is in charge of superseding and enlightening, it already has the posture of an agent of the rules of the underworld.

Of course, the compulsory "attraction" is actually "domestication".

The one who dies is the unruly Monkey King, and the one who survives is the down-to-earth Fighting Buddha, the essence is the same.

"It shouldn't be a problem for me to pretend to be a hell judge someday.

I just don't know what the underworld looks like in this world, at least I've been in the 'Land of the Dead' for so long, and I've never seen any ghosts in the underworld. "

While thinking wildly, Wang Yuan put this reborn mask on his face.
