Chapter 122: Chapter 119: Wind Officer Calls for Help, Takes the Initiative to Strike
Wang Yuan’s bite had not only consumed the two "Dharma Seeds" within him, but had also devoured the tiger skin that had already merged into his body.
By this point, Wang Yuan had finally completely swallowed the Tiger Spirit, White Mountain Lord.
His cultivation in the Taoist Military Skill had once again increased sharply, and he was not far from reaching Great Success as a Daoist Soldier.
The two innate divine abilities, "Imperial Decree Tiger Talisman" and "Soul Capturing and Spiritual Communication," had increased significantly in both strength and range of influence.
Perhaps Wang Yuan was still relying on Magic for his body’s "transformation."
But if he continued to internally cultivate his marrow and externally connect the three harmonies.
When "Refining Marrow and Changing Blood" reached its limit, and the practice, combat, and thoughts merge into one, achieving an indistinguishable state of pure refinement.
He would naturally open the body’s secret orifices, completely change the nature of his body, and advance to the third realm "Dao General."
Theoretically, at the third realm of "Spirit Communication Transformation," demons that transform into human forms can reproduce with humans; similarly, humans in beast forms can possess the same function.
Breaking the reproductive isolation, it was both magical and absurd.
"At least my body has been thoroughly cleaned up, and there are no longer any hidden dangers left by the ’muddy pond’ of the All Appearances Dao.
In this view, even though the Taoist Military Skill does not confer longevity, there is at least no need to worry too much about falling into a pit and never being able to climb out.
The thirty-six camps of the Great Yan Daoist Soldiers, which have been stable for two hundred years, have already proven this point."
Wang Yuan resumed human form and stamped his foot.
Instantly, five green-skinned Little Ghosts appeared out of the gloomy wind and bowed to Wang Yuan:
"Your humble servant pays respects to the Dharma Master!"
At this time, their dharma contract had also shifted from "Transformation into Tiger Technique" to Wang Yuan himself.
Assigned to the "Five Senses Altar City," under the governance of Wood Official, Lady Peach Fairy.
In fact.
If Mr. One-Eyed, who was from the same mother, were to be used to establish the "Five Senses Altar City," it wouldn’t be entirely impossible either.
At least it could awaken divine skills like "Five Ghosts Moving Mountains," clearly indicating they also had potential.
But it was still a suboptimal choice.
These five, incompletely formed with deficient organs, essentially residues left behind by White Mountain Lord’s consumption, each had only one functioning organ on their faces—their "Ghost Dao Dependency."
Inherently extremely feeble, they had not even taken the first step in "Refining Form."
Their potential for growth was definitely not something to depend on.
Where could they compare to someone like Lady Peach Fairy, who, with a "Returning Soul Borrowing Qi Pattern," naturally does not need to "Refine Form" and has both talent and beauty?
The candidates for the other four positions in the "Five Senses" were also planned to be chosen according to the standards of Lady Peach Fairy, not allowed to be much inferior.
Of course, that Mr. One-Eyed should not be wasted either.
"Don’t move; let me cast the spell!"
Wang Yuan picked up a bowl of clear water that had been placed on the altar for a day, drew a "Washing Body Talisman" out of thin air above the water with his right hand, and chanted:
"Heaven and earth function, essence of the sun and the moon. Shine through the seas, can fend off demonic miasma. Remove filth, eradicate disasters, home is bright. Dharma water thus made, all ghosts submit. Hurry, like an imperial decree!"
"Imperial Decree Dharma Water!"
Then he splashed this bowl of water straight over the five Little Ghosts.
Splash...
Mist wafted, and the sound of sudden wind and rain arrived.
Shortly after, when the white dense mist had dispersed, the five green-skinned Little Ghosts had greatly changed their appearance.
Originally, they looked like eight or nine-year-old children with their skinny bony builds and huge bellies, their faces incomplete with missing features.
Now, although they were still short, their appearances had completely restored to fullness.
Green faces with sharp teeth, a single horn on the forehead, clad in imposing armor, and command flags inserted on their backs.
Their eyes sparkled with intelligence, truly like five mini captains, rather than the disabled Little Ghosts they once were.
Realizing the changes in themselves, the ghosts were overjoyed and once again prostrated themselves at Wang Yuan’s feet, shouting in unison:
"Thank you, Dharma Master, for recreating us!"
With their foundations replenished, their future, compared to their past, was now completely incomparable.
"Hmm."
Wang Yuan nodded, satisfied.
Now as a Red Seal Mage, a single "Golden Que Jade City Divine Talisman" inherently carried wonder; many minor spells were naturally comprehensible, not requiring deliberate practice and could be used at will.
Just as Old Taoist Ge initially mastered a "Ganoderma Life Extension Talisman" and formed a complete system of Taoist Skill, his comprehensive strength far surpassed before his enlightenment.
The main abilities are:
"Eating Ghost": Swallowing Evil Ghosts whole, permanently enhancing one’s Taoist Ability, with a certain chance of obtaining the other party’s "Innate Divine Ability."
"Fake Death": The meat body ceases to function, injuries no longer worsen, a single spark of consciousness survives, able to choose to return to life at any moment (within three days at the latest), undetectable by anyone.
Unless the corpse is utterly destroyed, it will certainly not die.
Most crucially still is "Enslaving Ghost."
Without needing to perform hand seals, chant, or set up an altar to practice, the core divine Taoist Skill "Summoning Spirits and Commanding Generals" could be effortlessly used to control various Wandering Ghosts.
Using Evil Ghosts and Residual Souls as "Dharma Guides," a series of Ghost Dao Techniques was executed, greatly enriching combat methods.
Ghost Talisman, Calling Ghosts by Name, Little Ghost Carrying a Sedan, Golden Lamp Ceremony, Ghost Chasing People, Ghost Replacement, Dharma Food, Dharma Water Refinement...
Unfortunately, Yin Mountain Taoism didn’t have the solid support that those Sect Taoists had.
After they had gone through "Receiving Talisman Enlightenment," they could summon Divine Weapons and Divine Generals from their sect at any time, calling for reinforcements to lend a hand.
If Wang Yuan wanted such treatment, he could only do it himself, acting as a pioneer who plants trees for the shade that others would enjoy later.
However.
After he had achieved the status of Red Seal Mage and mastered the "Jade City Golden Que Divine Talisman."
Beimang Mountain, filled with Yin Objects, was naturally his home field, where his strength was at least thirty percent greater than in other places!
Therefore, seeing the Tribulation Energy that had been accumulating over his head for more than ten days and had already begun to boil, Wang Yuan was no longer as anxious as at the beginning.
Until Huang Wu, who was waiting outside with a "Life Trading Coin," brought him an unexpected piece of news.
"Wind Officer Zhu? Asking me to save someone?"
...
Midnight had already passed.
Whoosh—!
The chilly wind whirled, sweeping by the shredded Paper Money on the mountain, a white paper sedan carried by several Papermen skimmed past the grass, floating and fluttering like a piece of paper.
It would probably scare someone half to death if they saw it.
Yet Wang Yuan, dressed in a green robe, lay back comfortably with his legs crossed inside the sedan, thinking about the message Wind Officer Zhu had sent through the "Life Trading Coin."
"Mr. One-eyed, save me!
My only son, Bo’an Zhu heard that some Heterodox Magicians had arrived at Beimang Mountain outside the city.
He left a note today and ran off from home saying he was going to seek immortality and inquire about the Tao!
It was only discovered by servants in the evening, but by that time it was already too late to chase after him.
Blame me, for I have been busy lately dealing with thousands of civilians who ran into the Prince Mansion, and neglected his unusual behaviors, thus brewing this disaster."
Apart from being responsible for clarifying the civil governance, the Wind Officer also held the power to suppress tyrants, settle lawsuits, and uphold justice.
Thousands of people storming the Prince Mansion, although instigated by some "Weird" influences, was certainly no small matter, and the aftermath had not been settled even after more than ten days.
It was a moment of negligence that he had not noticed his only son’s anomaly.
After all, maybe ordinary people don’t know what kind of demons and ghosts are outside the city, but how could Wind Officer Zhu not know?
And with his level of access to information, he was also very clear about the "Sacrificial Technique."
He understood even more the severe consequences if things went wrong tomorrow.
It was too late to hide, how could he deliberately crash into it?
After much thought, he sought help from Wang Yuan.
In these times, it is difficult to be a good person, even more so to be a good official — one must be smarter than the bad guys to manage affairs successfully while adhering to principled baselines.
It was all because of the promise Wang Yuan had once made that allowed Wind Officer Zhu to see Wang Yuan’s true character.
Had it been someone else, who could control the life and death of a Luoyang City Wind Officer, wouldn’t they squeeze every possible benefit from him?
Who would simply help a bit and then remove the restrictions?
Though there was a one-year period, it was only as a precaution to make sure that the three Rashamon Bones wouldn’t cause any problems in a short time.
In Wind Officer Zhu’s view, such a person was already a very rare good person.
Moreover, he had even wrested the "Life Trading Coin" from the hands of Luoyang King, which meant his strength must be extremely formidable, this brought a glimmer of hope to the desperate Wind Officer Zhu.
Actually, Wang Yuan originally did not want to get involved in this kind of baffling affair.
Today, the Tribulation Energy above his head had already grown to its limit, and the first Calamity could arrive at any moment.
The timing was most likely right after the completion of the "Sacrificial Technique" at noon.
At such a critical moment, if he carelessly established any causality, it could lead to unforeseen changes.
However, after Wind Officer Zhu explained the situation in detail, the cluster of gray-black Tribulation Energy above his head suddenly fluctuated.
Wang Yuan then realized that there might be some inherent connection between these two matters!
Thus, after a brief moment of thought, he agreed.
Better to take the initiative and fend off the enemies beyond the national boundaries than passively await them at Wangren Town.
The ghosts of Wangren Town might be worthless, but grandma’s body was here, still holding a chance for revival, which absolutely could not be compromised.
In the blink of an eye.
He could already see the brightly lit street market in the Hundred Ghosts Forest in the distance.
And the "Little Ghost Carrying a Sedan" stopped just across a few mountain tops.
Wang Yuan jumped down from the paper sedan, patted the "Wanxiang Bag" tied around his waist filled with all his belongings.
Lady Peach Fairy, clever and skillful, had already embroidered it with satin, disguising it as an elegant pouch, so there was no need to worry about it being recognized as stolen goods.
"Only on others’ turf can I fully unleash my power without worrying about breaking any jars or pots."
In this period, he had done more than just diligently cultivate.
To cope with the first Calamity, he, along with two ghosts and various animals, continually gathered various Medicinal Stones from the mountains and produced massive amounts of "Mixed Element Thunderbolt" in small, medium, and large sizes!
If all this couldn’t resolve this Calamity, it must mean... the amount was insufficient!
