Chapter 48: Wandering Earth Faith

"Master, you are back..."

Guo Shan, who had received the message from Chu Tai a long time ago, was very happy to see him returning in a changed appearance, and hurried to Chu Tai to ask.

"Master... Next... should we... continue working... or... stay here... for a while?"

"We have finished the chores. We can leave immediately after the sun sets. Go and get ready first."

Chu Tai, who had returned to his original appearance as a short middle-aged man, took out the Seven Yins Warming Up Evil Banner and casually drew a Tai Chi Bagua diagram on the ground. He walked with his feet, stepped on the magic circles, and the Three Purities bells rang. Invisible sound waves spread in all directions, startling many birds in the forest.

When it got dark, Chu Tai and the other man drove the remaining corpses out of Yunluo. After they climbed over a hill, they saw a crow perched on a treetop on the side of their road.

Chu Tai said that he needed to explore the local geomantic energy. Guo Shan nodded and stopped by, watching Chu Tai silently calculating something.

There was a faint black light in the eyes of the crow on the treetop. The moment Chu Tai raised his head, it looked into the crow's eyes. A sound that ordinary people could not hear was heard by Chu Tai.

"You called me with the summoning spell, when did you absorb my energy?"

"My eyes are sharper than most people's. The last time I saw you, I had already memorized your scent."

Chu Tai's answer surprised Ya Chaoxi a little.

"I have heard of some people who are good at capturing other people's energy and shapes, and can absorb other people's energy with the help of accessories that can reflect their shadows, but I have never heard of anyone who can complete the art of capturing the shape of the other person when they see him. It seems that you have practiced a remarkable eye technique."

"Let's not talk about these polite words. I came to you today to find out whether you know that Wang Lan may have teamed up with Hanba."

Chu Tai deliberately exaggerated and secretly observed Wu Chaoxi's reaction.

The crow fairy suddenly spread its wings, and its feathers exploded, and it cried out. The shrill crow cry made Guo Shan unable to help but look over.

In Guo Shan's impression, crows are birds with both good and bad qualities, but encountering one while driving corpses is usually considered a bad omen. He looked at Chu Tai.

"Master... do you want me to drive it away..."

"Ignore it."

Chu Tai responded casually, but he was still communicating with Wu Chaoxi secretly.

'It seems you don't know.'

'What do I know? Are you telling the truth?'

"You didn't receive any news? Wang Lan hasn't had any contact with other monks recently?"

Faced with Chu Tai's doubts, Wu Chaoxi, who was in urgent need of knowing the specific situation, cursed.

"What do I know? Wang Lan is very wary of me. There are not many birds, let alone crows, within ten miles of his home. How can I get information? As for contacting other monks..."

Wu Chaoxi suddenly stopped talking, as if he had thought of something. After a while, he slowly spoke.

"About three months ago, a monk from Jin State came and entered the Wang family, but he didn't stay long, and it was only that one time, so I didn't pay much attention to it. Wait, Jin State? Hanba? You're not talking about the guy from seven years ago! That guy is coming!"

Looking at Wu Chaoxi, whose fur was standing on end again and was about to turn into a fluffy carbon ball, Chu Tai narrowed his eyes slightly and asked about the monk's situation again.

'I'm not sure. I noticed him because he had a corpse aura around him. I thought he was a cultivator who practiced corpse cultivation. Now it seems that this guy is not a corpse cultivator himself.'

After making sure that the other party was not lying, Chu Tai roughly explained the whole story.

After hearing the whole story, Wu Chaoxi breathed a sigh of relief and complained to Chu Tai. "I thought it was a big deal, but it turns out to be just..."

Chu Tai didn't give Wu Chaoxi a chance to finish his words and interrupted him directly.

"But what? You're saying it as if you and I are much more powerful than Fellow Daoist Han Shang. If he can defeat Fellow Daoist Han Shang and seriously injure him, then he must be able to defeat you and me."

"Why don't you think about finding its origin and thinking about how to control it now? Do you have to wait until you are in opposition to Wang Lan before thinking about possible problems?"

"To put it bluntly, the people who have the greatest impact on this matter are you and the head of the Liu family. If there is really a problem, the worst that can happen is that I will retreat to other countries, practice hard for three or four decades, refine two magic weapons, and then come back to seek revenge."

"But can you? Wang Lan is able to live to this day, and many of the abilities and magical powers she possesses are closely related to you. You can't escape."

The Crow Immortal didn't know how to respond to Chu Tai's words, but he also knew that Chu Tai was right. If things really developed to that point, it would definitely die. Its momentum immediately dissipated and it answered in a timid manner.

'What do you want me to do?'

"I want to know the details of Wang's family and all the villages near Wang's family, as well as the situation of the baby tower and the cemetery. If you can determine the information of the two places in a short time, you can expand the scope of exploration and include the entire southern part of Chu State in the scope of exploration."

"If they really want to do something big, the earth veins and earth energy are something they can't avoid."

"Since we can't be sure of their intentions, we can only use this stupid method to search everywhere."

'This is very difficult for most mortals, because the mountain road is difficult to walk, the location is difficult to find, and geomancy is even more difficult.'

"But you are a crow spirit who has achieved enlightenment and has become a ghost fairy. You are born with the ability to sense similar auras. If you use a little thought, you can see the aura of life and death by attaching yourself to ordinary flying birds. You are the most suitable."

The crow controlled by Wu Chaoxi nodded, indicating that he was clear about the job content.

"Okay, I will tell you about the situation of the Wang family and its surroundings tomorrow, but I need enough time to collect the information about the entire southern part of Chu State. It will take at least half a month."

Chu Tai was a little surprised at Wu Chaoxi's control over the area surrounding the Wang family, but he also thought it was normal.

While instructing Wu Chaoxi to collect detailed information from other places, he stood up and continued to move forward with Guo Shan.

As Guo Shan's back disappeared, the light in the crow's pupils on the treetop gradually faded.

The next day, Chu Tai, who learned the relevant information from the Crow Immortal, began to intentionally teach some methods of dealing with zombies and controlling corpse qi in some places during his subsequent travels.

In addition, Chu Tai also sent a message to Liu Peiyu, asking him to help spread several deeds related to him, along with some local stories, as well as some stories about dealing with diseases and corpse transformations.

This allowed folk legends, which originally required more time to spread, change, and integrate before finally taking shape, to begin to take shape more quickly.

In the process of the interweaving of names such as the Lamp-Bearing Water Master, the Stove Lamp Fairy, the Midu Fire God, the Spirit Banner Yin God, etc., Chu Tai also sensed his connection with this land, and gradually found the limit of the ability of the [Wandering Man] to transform local legends into magic.

"The essence of the ability of [Wanderer] to create magic is earth, faith, and law."

Chu Tai stretched out his hand and sensed the inexplicable power in the void.

'Earth refers to place, region, and earth veins. Faith refers to belief, belief, and willpower. The law is the concrete manifestation of the two condensed and formed with my help. Tracing back to the root, my law is a seed, planted in the corresponding region, and watered and formed by the willpower of the people living there, turning into a force that belongs only to this region.'

'In theory, my power will continue to increase in the corresponding area, but this increase will gradually affect my connection with this land, and eventually make me unable to leave, becoming a kind of earthly immortal...'

'So, this is the meaning of [Yunyou]?'
