Catalogue of forbidden Taoist techniques
Author: Star Hidden Moon Bright
Introduction:
The reborn Ling Wuji originally just wanted to be a small alchemist in China, but because of his words, he offended the contemporary godslayer Luo Hao and had to run away to study in Japan. Then he found that the Japan in this world was a little too weird, as if all the malice in the world had been dumped on this island, and all kinds of world-destroying crises emerged one after another. So he had no choice but to try his best to survive with the help of the "Taoism Forbidden Technique Catalog" system, and save the world by the way...
The fan fiction of fateX, GodkillerX, Magical Index and other various works has a secondary setting and is written in the style of an elementary school student. You are welcome to criticize it.
Volume 1: The Bizarre Mysterious Side: Chapter 1: Conversation on the Rooftop
"Cue the magic trick?"
Although she was grateful to the boy for saving her, Yuuki Asuna couldn't help feeling a little puzzled by what he said, so she looked around, but the school rooftop was empty at this time. Only she and the boy who was only a few feet away from her were looking into each other's eyes.
But this is inevitable, after all, the school rooftop is not open.
She also had a hard time remembering how she got here.
She just vaguely remembered that the moment before, she stepped towards the edge of the roof. At that moment, she seemed to have an unforgettable feeling, as if she was born to fly, and her soul was born not to be bound by gravity, so she believed deep in her heart that she would never fall.
So, this is a hint of… magic?
Is it possible to imply this?
"In fact, even so-called hypnosis can't achieve this level," the handsome face of the young man was full of nonchalance. He just said lightly, "But this is 'magic', and what I call 'magic' is not the means of deception by using sleight of hand as you understand it, but a more mysterious means that can directly change the essence.
"You have already felt the conflict between your consciousness, instinct, and reason, right?"
Yuuki Asuna hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Because she knew clearly intellectually that if she took a step forward, she would die miserably; but her instinct told her that she would not be bound by gravity; so her consciousness wandered between the two, not knowing which way to go.
“There are three ways to solve this.”
The boy held up three fingers.
"Three kinds?"
"One is to truly learn to fly, so that your soul instincts can match reality, and then you don't have to be afraid of the contradiction between reality and instincts. The second is to use 'suggestion magic' to overwhelm the suggestion, but I don't have any accomplishments in this area, so I can't help you." He pressed down two fingers, but the next words became cold, like the cold wind and snow in winter. "The third is to find the magician who did this to you."
"Can humans...really fly?"
Yuuki Asuna was immediately frightened by the first possibility mentioned by the boy.
The boy nodded, then shook his head: "As far as I know, there are quite a few people in the world who can fly without any external force, and there are even more who can use external force. If you want to choose the first option, the fastest way is to go to the IS Academy."
Does that count as flying?
Yuuki Asuna looked at the boy in confusion.
Why doesn't it count?
The boy asked back with a straight look.
So she was silent for a moment, looking into the distance, but her footsteps unconsciously walked towards the edge of the rooftop, and then she was pulled by the boy again, and soon she was pushed by him to the stairs. She felt the warmth of the boy's slightly warm palm behind her, and heard his clear voice in her ears: "In any case, you'd better find someone to look after you first, to prevent yourself from doing something tantamount to suicide again."
"that……"
Finally, when she was about to return to her class and the two were about to part, Yuuki Asuna realized that she and the boy didn't know each other's names at all, so she said: "My name is Yuuki Asuna, classmate, you are..."
"No disease."
Hearing the boy's words, Yuuki Asuna was stunned:
Chinese international students?
The boy shook his head nonchalantly, then disappeared around the corner of the stairs.
After coming to her senses, Yuuki Asuna had to ask her classmates about this international student from China.
"Are you talking about the Ling Jun from Class F?"
"Your Majesty?"
"Don't you know? It is said that the master is secretly a Yin-Yang master, and he is very skilled in his job. In addition to exorcising ghosts, he also does divination and feng shui. Many classmates have gone to him and it is said that he is very effective, so we all worship him as the Abe Haruaki of China!"
Abe Haruaki from China?
Yuuki Asuna thought of the boy's face, which was immature but already revealed handsomeness, and felt that it was inexplicably appropriate.
……
However, Ling Wuji actually had no idea that someone was saying this about him behind his back.
Of course he wouldn't be happy to hear such words.
Because Abe Haruaki in this world is a human, but also a monster called "Nue".
It is said that the great monster Yuyuko in Kyoto is planning to resurrect this man.
Of course, with Ling Wu Ji’s current level, he can’t do anything about the big monsters in Kyoto.
He is just a small alchemist.
He was originally just an ordinary college student. He came to this world after an accidental death in his previous life. He had been studying with an old Taoist priest in Yuzhang County of China since he was a child. However, due to China's "Religious Management Regulations", he was neither ordained nor granted a Taoist certificate, so he could not actually be classified as a Taoist priest. The old Taoist priest just threw him a few Taoist scriptures and never took care of him, so he didn't know how to do morning and evening classes.
Of course, in reality, he himself had no desire to seek the Tao, and felt that the ultimate goal of his life was to find the "Tao".
So he called himself a alchemist.
The so-called alchemist is a person who only cares about means but not the great principles.
The reason why he came to Japan to study in junior high school was entirely because of his bad words.
Last year, he had to flee to Japan because he was not tolerated by the mysterious side of China for the crime of "making irresponsible remarks about the monarch".
And this so-called "Sovereign" actually refers to the nominal leader of the mysterious side of southern China - the godslayer Luo Hao.
In fact, if it weren’t for the fact that Ling Wuji’s master Lu Wenyuan’s ancestor was Lu Xiujing—the place where Luo Hao lived in seclusion happened to be the place where Mr. Jian Ji practiced in the past, which made her a little concerned about the incense of her ancestors, Ling Wuji would not even have a chance to escape, and would most likely have been dealt with by her disciple Lu Yinghua.
After all, according to Ling Wuzhi's evaluation, she was a perverse person.
Even wanting to dig out the eyes of someone if he was seen by others is no longer just cruel.
Although he was accused of “making irresponsible remarks about the emperor” because of his outspokenness, some people commented that “Luo Hao is just like the Japanese, only paying attention to small matters and not understanding the big picture.” [1]
"However, this world is a little too outrageous..."
But after arriving in Japan, Ling Wuji found that Japan, especially Tokyo, was too weird. It was as if all the malice in the world was dumped here. All kinds of strange things were crowded together. Crises like the corpse virus and the apocalypse virus, which were almost world-destroying, appeared so openly. Demons and monsters also appeared in broad daylight. Other countries and societies were still carefully maintaining the boundary between the inner and outer world, but Japan did not hesitate to break down that door and wall. As a result, Ling Wuji, whose previous life creed was to lie down in the secular world by means of the mysterious side, had to work hard and walk carefully in this world, so as not to be affected by some world-destroying crisis without knowing it.
"But, a magus of that level can use 'suggestion'..."
Ling Wuji was a little reluctant to provoke him.
When he thought of this, a line of subtitles suddenly appeared in his vision:
"The 'Taoism Forbidden Techniques Catalog' system is binding"
"Mission: Find the person who 'hinted' at Yuuki Asuna"
"Mission Reward: Lie Zi's Wind Control Technique"
Note [1]: One of the settings in the original work of "God Killer" that deserves to be complained about is that Luo Hao traveled thousands of miles to Japan for Monkey King, but said that she had no interest in the rise and fall of secular dynasties [1]. But if she cares about the fact that Sun Wukong, as the belief of the Chinese nation, was mocked by the Japanese, then what does the suffering of foreign invasions suffered by the Chinese nation from the late Qing Dynasty to the new China mean to her? That is why it is said that she "only knows the details and does not understand the big picture." Of course, in essence, this is just a Chinese character with many flaws set by the Japanese.
Note [1]: Her attitude is mentioned in the short story collection "Fragments of Demon Kings" in the novel "God Killer".

Volume 1: The Bizarre Mysterious Side: Chapter 2: Systems, Alchemists, and Divination
"A catalogue of forbidden Taoist techniques?"
Ling Wuji vaguely remembered that there was a "Magic Index" in the British Puritan Church. It was said that the person recorded 103,000 magic books, which could be called a human-shaped mobile library. Moreover, it was covered with a "mobile church" that claimed to have "absolute defense". Although Ling Wuji felt that it was setting a flag, a young Taoist priest like him who came from a small sect whose foundation had basically been squandered by his predecessors could not help but envy and hate. This system was given such a name, which seemed to be suspected of trying to cheat others...
But, is this “Liezi’s Wind Control Technique”?
"Lieh Tzu rode the wind and traveled, and returned after ten days and fifteen days." This is the description of this Taoist art in "Zhuangzi's Happy Travels." Although Ling Wuji also suspected that it was originally because Lieh Tzu himself was a "real person", it was not something that a rookie like Ling Wuji who had barely passed the entry-level Qi training period could guess. But for a real person to ride the wind, what is the art? Is it really important? Moreover, Zhuangzi himself said that the real "happy travel" is "riding on the righteousness of heaven and earth, controlling the debate of the six qi, and traveling endlessly", and Lieh Tzu's wind-riding art is obviously still in the stage of "still waiting" and needing to rely on external objects...
Of course, Ling Wu Ji also suspected that the so-called "Xiao Yao You" had completely exceeded the scope of "skill" and "method" and belonged to the level of "supernatural power".
Then Ling Wuji patted his face:
This idea is too unrealistic. Even if Lie Zi's wind-controlling technique is not as good as "Xiao Yao You", it is not something he can speculate about now.
So, should we go find the magician?
……
But in fact, Ling Wuji is not good at spiritual confrontations.
Or it could be said that he is not good at spiritual confrontation during his current Qi training period.
He has a wild personality to begin with, and although he may have the talent to unravel the mystery and find the other person through various clues, he actually doesn't have the patience at all.
If he could cultivate into a Yin God now and leave his body to travel at night, perhaps he could use the Yin God to directly interfere, intervene, and observe Yuuki Asuna's soul, but he is not a Yin God now, just a small Qi training stage. Just as he would habitually judge the pros and cons of Lie Zi's wind control technique and then deviate to the "Xiao Yao You", he now habitually thinks of the means of cultivating into a Yin God, so he would also habitually dislike the means of spiritual confrontation in the Qi training stage as thankless, so he wanted to take a detour.
The so-called high aspirations but poor skills refers to people like Ling Wuji.
So it is not without reason that he considers himself an alchemist.
A true Taoist will patiently use the means of spiritual confrontation during the Qi training period to bring himself closer to the realm of Yin God, because there is no distinction between high and low in Taoism itself. Even if you are walking on a small path now, you may encounter a smooth road in the future. The alchemists only care about whether the means can achieve their goals faster and more conveniently. They don't care what the "Taoism" is.
There are two ways for Wu Ji to take a detour now. One is divination, and the other is looking at the qi.
However, Wu Ji only had a rough grasp of these two things.
As far as he knew, there was no shortage of gifted people in this world. Some witches could even see fragments of the future directly through the "ghost world". What's more, some people could see the entire future. Although it was said that "future vision" could be divided into measured future vision, predicted future vision, and absolute future vision, Ling Wuji himself only had a little talent in strange magic.
However, according to his master Lu Wenyuan, it is not known whether this little cleverness can be called talent, and how far it can take him.
But as mentioned before, Ling Wuji has a carefree nature and obviously doesn't care about these things.
So after school, he looked for Yuuki Asuna again.
As for the boy asking her to hold an old copper coin and toss it over and over again, Yuuki Asuna couldn't help but ask curiously: "Is this divination? But what is the meaning of doing this?"
At this time, the two of them were sitting in a cafe. The boy opposite her examined the front and back of the copper coin in her palm and said casually, "Yuuki-san, do you know how many hexagrams there are in the Book of Changes?"
Yuuki Asuna hesitated for a moment: "64?"
"Then do you know how many possibilities there are when you toss a coin?"
"two?"
"What about throwing it twice?"
