What is a disciple who goes out to perform rituals?
Asking the immortals to possess you and helping them to do things and accumulate power is to go out as a horse spirit.
In the process of going out as a horse spirit, those who learn skills from the immortals are disciples.
This is the true meaning of being a spirit-relief disciple.
Chapter 67: Immortal Family Banquet
Hu Bayi became Hui Erye's disciple, and while he gained benefits, he also had to take on obligations.
As agreed before, Hu Bayi and Hui Erye discussed the travel plan, and Hu Xiuwu was definitely going with them.
To be honest, he was not very confident in the strength of his eldest brother and second master. One plus one sometimes does not necessarily equal two.
Mr. Hui Erye is good at divination and earth-walking magic. He is just better than Hu Bayi in Qi training and has a longer blue bar, but when it comes to fighting experience, he is probably not as good as Hu Xiuwu.
However, if they encounter a strong enemy, Hui Erye can still run away with Hu Xiuwu and Hu Bayi.
After discussing, several people decided to go to the Northeast region during the National Day holiday.
This time, Wang Kaixuan did not go along. Firstly, he had no special skills, so it was too dangerous to take him along. Secondly, he had recently used the money he earned from Wen Xiangyu and Da Jin Ya's connections to open a shop in Panjiayuan, and he was very busy recently.
Therefore, this time only Hu Xiuwu, Hu Bayi and Hui Erye who lived in Hu Bayi's Neijing Hall, the three of them went to the Northeast region.
During this period, Hui Erye has been using Hu Bayi's phone to keep in touch with the immortals in the Northeast.
A few days ago, the Northeast Region's Nadutong officially classified the holder of the demon sword as a full-fledged demon, that is, a terrorist in the alien world.
Even Hu Bayi received a wanted order for Chaya Tsering, the owner of the demon sword, faxed by Xu Xiang.
There is also a photo of this person on the wanted poster.
He looked quite young, about 20 years old, with a thin body, a delicate face, and no anger on his face. He didn't look like a madman stirring up trouble in the Northeast region at all, but rather like a student who was still in school.
However, the description of him in the information is completely different. The information records that this person is proficient in various kendo schools and also knows a kind of Kamiya Kashin-ryu swordsmanship that is similar to the swordsmanship passed down by the Ishikawa family, which can temporarily suppress the evil nature of the demon sword.
Hu Xiuwu flipped through the information and said casually, "Speaking of which, the efficiency of this time's communication was very fast."
Mr. Hui Er said slowly: "This matter may be related to Gao Lian, the person in charge of the Northeast Region."
"Before, there were rumors of a demon sword appearing in the Northeast Region. Many Japanese people sneaked here to look for the demon sword. It is said that Gao Lian's second daughter was mistakenly killed in that incident."
(All I can say now is that Er Zhuang is not dead yet.)
As the head of the Gao family, one of the four families in the alien world, Gao Lian's status was originally equal to that of the other four families, namely, Lu Jin, the head of the Lu family, Wang Ai, the head of the Wang family, and Lu Ci, the head of the Lu family.
In theory, you can also join the Ten Lords Association and become one of the Ten Lords.
However, when the Northeast was invaded, the Gao family spent all their wealth to fight the enemy. After Nadutong was founded, the Gao family also actively helped the company stabilize the situation in the Northeast. When it came to Gao Lian, he became the person in charge of the Northeast region of Nadutong.
Now that he had already joined the company, Gao Lian naturally could not join the Ten Lords Society. Since he was an official in the court, there would naturally be a gap between him and the sects in the martial arts world.
"It can be said that the Gao family has a close relationship with the Shaman lineage."
Mr. Hui Er talked leisurely, telling stories of the past.
The Gao family is active in the Northeast, so naturally it is impossible for them to have any intersection with the local tyrants and shamans in the Northeast region.
Each of the four extraordinary families has its own unique craft. The Gao family now keeps a low profile and seldom displays their skills, but the older generation knows that the Gao family is good at making incense and nourishing souls.
Although the three treasures of essence, energy and spirit of ordinary people are not as strong as those of extraordinary people, they still have faint thoughts, but they usually dissipate outside. Unlike extraordinary people, they can't use meditation to retain their essence, energy and spirit that usually dissipate.
When ordinary people sincerely worship gods, they will reveal their own thoughts. The thoughts of everyone gathered together become the power of incense and vows. This power of incense and vows can be used to nourish the soul.
The immortals cooperate with the disciples to do good deeds, also for the purpose of earning alms and blessings.
However, the power of incense and vows has an owner, and the power of vows is filled with worship of God. If you rashly swallow the power of vows of other gods, you may be brainwashed by the power of the vows and lose your ability to tell who you are.
However, there is no God in this world, and the accumulated wishes in the name of various gods can actually be said to be ownerless.
For thousands of years, naturally there have been people who have set their eyes on this wealth.
Some ancestors created a mask of divinity, used their lives to pretend to be gods, deceived the power of will, and stole this power.
However, the ancestors of the Gao family took a different approach. They used the power of will collected through secret techniques, supplemented it with spices, and used their own unique methods to make soul incense.
When the soul incense burns, the impurities in the incense and vows will be eliminated. Although only one tenth of the vows will remain after doing so, the purest ownerless vows can be obtained, which can be used by anyone at no cost.
Master Hui Er said self-deprecatingly: "Immortals, immortals, it sounds good, but we are just lonely ghosts without bodies after all. We can only hide in the inner world. It is difficult for ghosts to become saints after ten thousand calamities. The ancients were right."
Back then, in order to save trouble, Master Hui Er used his soul to attend Master Hu San's banquet. As a result, when he was halfway back after the banquet, his physical body was thrown into boiling water by a hooligan.
His physical body was destroyed, causing him to be seriously injured. Even his spiritual consciousness was a little scattered. He could only wander in the Hu family's old house and was unable to ask for help from other immortals.
It was not until Hu Guohua returned from military service that he finally discovered the existence of Mr. Hui Erye under the guidance of his mentor, Sun Guofu, who had the ability to see ghosts and spirits.
He was not talented enough to obtain Qi and become an extraordinary person, but he wanted to save his brother's life, so he begged his master to think of a way.
Sun Guofu's corpse qi had entered his body, destroying all his abilities and making him unable to awaken Mr. Hui's consciousness.
The safest way was to send Mr. Hui Erye back to the shaman lineage, but at that time shaman lineages were hard to find, and the country was in chaos, making it even more difficult to find people.
But Sun Guofu was an experienced veteran. After careful consideration, he came up with a clever idea.
He asked Hu Guohua to set up a tablet for Gray Second Master, and pray sincerely on the first and fifteenth day of every lunar month, hoping to awaken Gray Second Master with his wish power.
Although his strength is weak, but time passes and he will be able to rescue Mr. Hui Erye one day.
······
Most of the immortals are monsters who have lost their physical bodies due to various reasons. Back then, Mr. Hui Er was able to keep his physical body for a period of time, which made him considered an anomaly.
Without a physical body as a raft, the soul is quite fragile in this sea of suffering of the mortal world. No matter how profound the cultivation is, it is inevitable that it will be disturbed by the turbid air of the mortal world, just like the brocade-scaled boa in the Three Corpse Needles, and its intelligence will gradually disappear.
But the immortals are all successful monsters in cultivation. The powerful ones like Liu Kunsheng are even more arrogant. They are unwilling to easily become the family immortals of others and become someone else's vassal. They can only endure a hard life in the mountains.
During the Qingming solar term, everything is clean, full of vitality, expelling the old and welcoming the new.
It is very comfortable for living beings, but for ghosts, the environment after Qingming Festival, where the yang qi rises and the yin qi decreases, is even more unbearable.
The Gao family was grateful for the difficulty of the immortals in the mountains, and they also felt pity for the wandering ghosts in the mountains. Therefore, every year during the Qingming Festival, they would use the extra incense in their home as tribute and hold a "Fairy Banquet".
A banquet was held to entertain the ghosts in the northeastern wilderness who had no one to worship them, and the immortals who had not yet found disciples to perform rituals, and soul incense was used to help them stabilize their souls.
Mr. Hui Erye didn't know how many years the Gao family had held the "Immortal Banquet". Anyway, since he awakened his spiritual intelligence, he could hear that the Gao family was holding the "Immortal Banquet" every Qingming Festival.
Therefore, many immortals in the shaman lineage have received favors from the Gao family, and the relationship between the disciples who go out to perform rituals and the Gao family has always been very good.
While listening to Mr. Hui Erye's story, Hu Bayi looked at the wanted poster in his hand:
"Chaya Ciren? Sounds like a Japanese name?"
"This man cannot be underestimated. During this period of time, many disciples encountered him, but he escaped. Several disciples were slightly injured. He is an extremely dangerous person."
Mr. Hui was worried that Hu Bayi would be less wary of Chawu Ciren because of his appearance, so he gave him a few reminders.
"Don't worry, Master. I am from the army after all. I know how to despise the enemy strategically and take him seriously tactically."
Hu Bayi said with great energy that the feeling of fighting with others made him very interested.
Mr. Hui Er was quite satisfied with Hu Bayi's enthusiasm:
"Well, in that case, let's set off together to the Northeast in a few days."
The day before National Day, Hu Bayi found an excuse to tell his family that he would take Hu Xiuwu to the Northeast to visit his grandfather's hometown.
Hu's mother was a little unhappy. After her youngest son returned home, he would run around with his brother during every holiday. If his grades had not dropped, she would have scolded Hu Xiuwu long ago.
Hu Yunxuan is very open-minded and believes that boys should see the world.
In fact, Hu Yunxuan was not completely ignorant of the fact that Hu Bayi and Hu Xiuwu frequently went to the mourning hall, but he did not expose the two brothers to their faces.
He did not ask too many questions about their purpose of going to the Northeast, but only reminded them to be more careful and not to take risks, as if there was something else behind his words.
Even Wang Ye's father, Wang Weiguo, knew a little about extraordinary people. He knew that Wudang's Grand Master Zhou Meng and Taoist Yunlong were different from ordinary people and had real abilities.
Hu Yunxuan's father, Hu Guohua, raised him with his knowledge of Feng Shui. How could Hu Yunxuan be completely unaware of the affairs of the extraordinary people after hearing and seeing so much of them?
If he really didn't believe these things, he wouldn't have agreed to send Hu Xiuwu to Maoshan.
Hu Bayi and Hu Xiuwu thought they had concealed the truth from their parents at home, but in fact they only deceived their mother. Hu Yunxuan was just pretending to be confused.
However, with Hu Yunxuan's help, the family affairs were dealt with.
They finally set off for the Northeast, the hometown of the immortals.
I feel that at the rate Mi Er is going, it might take half a year for him to slap me in the face.
Nathan still had a lot to say. He had to explain the situation of the Lu and Wang families after returning. The Gao family's affairs might not be drawn so quickly.
Of course, if Mi Erda works harder and can update twice a week, I would be very willing to slap me in the face in advance.
Chapter 68 Northeastern Immortal Family
Hu Xiuwu and the other two took a train to the Northeast. It was National Day at that time, and there were many people on the train. They were all taking advantage of the holiday to travel or visit relatives. During this period, there were quite a few people entering and leaving the Northeast every day.
This National Day is the best time for Chawu Ciren to escape from the Northeast. His disciples have become more and more familiar with his tactics, and the encirclement around him is shrinking little by little.
The longer the time drags on, the harder it will be for him to escape from the tight net set up by the disciples.
Chawu Ciren understood this principle, and the other disciples who were sent out to perform rituals also knew about this matter, so their searches had become more intensive in the past few days.
With the cooperation of Naduotong, highways, stations, airports and shipping terminals are all under their close surveillance.
When Hu Xiuwu arrived in the Northeast region, as soon as he got off the train, a burly young man from the Northeast, wearing a vest in the cold weather and with a shaved head, came up to him.
He first looked at Hu Xiuwu and Hu Bayi, then used Qi to sense the two's spirits, and then respectfully saluted Hu Bayi.
This salute is not for Hu Bayi, but for Mr. Hui Erye inside Hu Bayi's body.
There were many people nearby, so Gray Second Master did not show up. He just used Hu Bayi's eyes to watch the situation outside. Hu Bayi's right eye turned into a rat eye and looked at the young man in front of him. Hu Bayi started to speak, but the voice that came out of his mouth was Gray Second Master's:
"Whose family are you from?"
The young man said respectfully, "Second Master, I am Deng Youcai, the great-grandson of Guan Shihua."
Mr. Hui Er was a little surprised: "I didn't expect that Xiao Huahua's great-grandson is already this big."
Deng Youcai said, "Yes, I have a brother named Deng Youfu. Originally, we were sent to pick up the Second Master today."
"But at the last minute we received a notification from Nadutong saying that Chawu Ciren's whereabouts had been discovered, so my brother went to help the brothers nearby to search for the whereabouts of that little devil."
"So that's how it is. Then you youngsters can chat. I won't bother you anymore."
