Since my death is certain, let more people be buried with me! Become part of my grand funeral!
It is better to die in battle at Mount Longhu than to die in an ugly way at the hands of someone nowhere.
He came to Longhu Mountain not to obey the orders of the acting leader, but because he wanted to give himself a decent ending.
It was just that he happened to run into Hu Xiuwu. Since the matter started with him, let it end with him.
Hu Xiuwu sighed: "This person is indeed a person of all temperaments."
"But what if I could help you?"
"What did you say?"
Tu Junfang's arrogance paused and he looked at Hu Xiuwu in astonishment.
Afterwards, Tu Junfang, who had gradually calmed down, asked, "The Tushita Fire only treats the symptoms but not the root cause. How can you help me?"
"The Tushita Fire can only burn the seven emotions and six desires, and it really can't help your situation." Hu Xiuwu first agreed with his words, and then changed the subject, "But why limit it to the Seven Killing Orders."
Tu Junfang raised his eyebrows: "Even the Eight Wonders cannot eliminate the entanglement of love and hatred. How can you help me?"
"Come closer and listen." Hu Xiuwu waved to him.
Tu Junfang walked over calmly, not caring that the sword in Hu Xiuwu's right hand was still flowing with evil spirit.
But his calmness was false, like old dynamite that might explode at any time.
After listening to Hu Xiuwu's whisper, Tu Junfang stood up straight, waited for a moment, and then said, "How can I trust you?"
"But the results will be known in about a month. Can't you afford to wait even that little bit of time?"
Tu Junfang was puzzled: "I don't think my relationship with you is harmonious, so why are you willing to help me?"
Hu Xiuwu spoke frankly: "I need someone to help me explore the way, so I need to find some strong people who I won't feel bad if they die."
Tu Junfang laughed: "Okay, I understand."
Hu Xiuwu smiled, put away his sword and left.
After he left, Tu Junfang looked back at Quan Xingzhong who was struggling among the three corpses, his face as cold as ice.
"Boss Tu?!"
Seeing that Tu Junfang seemed to have reached some agreement with Hu Xiuwu, the woman felt a little uneasy and frightened.
"I'm sorry, but I don't want anyone else to know my background."
Chapter 330 Eight Formations
"Amazing, really amazing. No wonder you were able to resist the spirit-binding and general-dispatching. If the person who encountered you was Zuo Rutong, the Great Ying Immortal, the head of the Sanyi Sect sixty years ago, then perhaps the Sanyi Sect would not have been destroyed."
In Luofengtian, Taiji Hall, Hu Xiuwu sat on the imperial throne and summoned the Taiyin God who was placed in the Taisha Liangshi Zong Heavenly Palace and guarded by the Huangquan Yin servants.
Taisha Liangshizong Palace is located in the former Chang'an government office. According to the setting, it should be the place to control the cycle of life and death and capture evil spirits.
Unfortunately, it has never been opened and there is no god in charge. Taiyin God is the first creature to be placed in the Taisha Liangshi Sect's Heavenly Palace.
After the Yellow Spring Yin servants transported the Taiyin God to the palace, Hu Xiuwu used his privileges in Luo Fengtian to analyze the concept of the Taiyin God, and then marveled at it.
All sentient beings in the world have the potential to obtain Qi. From the smallest grass insects to the largest whales and elephants, all have the opportunity to obtain Qi and achieve enlightenment.
But the Eight Fraudulent Gods are different. They have extraordinary backgrounds. They were not originally creatures of flesh and blood. Instead, they were eight strands of innate qi that were separated from the way of heaven due to the disaster of the snake god.
This wisp of Qi was created by heaven and earth and is the darling of the world. As soon as it was born, it reached the state of unity of soul and flesh, perfect Qiization, and nature and life are inseparable.
That was the highest realm deduced from the third level of reverse rebirth of the Sanyi Sect.
That's why Hu Xiuwu sighed. If Zuo Rutong had discovered the trace of the Eight Deceitful Gods more than sixty years ago, perhaps he could have realized the true meaning of the Three Levels of Reversal of Rebirth and the third level of Perfect Qi Transformation from the Eight Deceitful Gods.
That might have changed the outcome of the Trinity Sect's demise.
After sighing for a moment and lamenting the impermanence of the world, Hu Xiuwu used the power of faith he had accumulated to drive the might of Luo Fengtian, and wore away the black veil painted by the God on the body of the God of Taiyin, and unlocked the seals of His five senses.
The Taiyin God under the black veil has a bald head, fluorescent blue skin, and several strong pillars protruding from his back. He looks a bit like a hunchbacked rock monster, and also a bit like an alien in a science fiction movie.
After being unsealed, the Taiyin God was very docile. When he found himself in an unfamiliar place and the contract on his body had changed owners, he did not make any extra movements.
After all, no matter who it is, as soon as he opens his eyes, he will find himself in the outer world. A force as heavy as Kunlun is lingering around him. If he moves recklessly, he will be crushed into dust. What's more, the mysterious and majestic emperor is sitting on the steps and examining him. So he should be honest.
After discovering that the Taiyin God had been taught by Zhuge Liang, was proficient in writing and could communicate, Hu Xiuwu asked him how he was captured.
Taiyin's voice was very strong, like electronic music: "When Zhuge was about to die, he asked me about my future plans, but I didn't know what I wanted to do. I just wanted to be alone and quiet."
It turns out that he is a homebody, which is in line with our Shangqing nature.
Hu Xiuwu thought.
"Then Zhuge found a good place for me to rest in peace. He said that after a thousand years, I would wait for a lord who would be willing to support me."
"Then I met the man named Wang Ai."
This lord? Why does he sound more like a sucker?
Moreover, Taiyin God's tone did not show any resentment towards the Wang family, nor did it show any joy at being rescued. Instead, it was like Hanhan who had just woken up from a deep sleep in the small dark room.
That’s right, compared with his experience of more than two thousand years, these few years were more like a slightly long dream. Maybe He hasn’t gotten enough sleep.
As an innate creature, Taiyin God does not eat grains. Instead, he feeds on the Yin Metal Qi of the same origin as the West to maintain his body. He follows Zhuge Liang because Zhuge Liang, as the most powerful sorcerer at the time, can provide him with food without him having to expend effort to refine it himself.
As the price of feeding, Taiyin God occasionally has to help Zhuge set up the formation, which saves much effort than doing it himself in the wild.
It seems that it was not a coincidence that Wang Ai found Taiyin, but a plan by Zhuge Liang, who deliberately let him and Taiyin meet.
Hu Xiuwu asked: "Since Mr. Zhuge has it, why don't you just go with Wang Ai honestly and still resist?"
This question finally made Taiyin's emotions fluctuate a little: "There is a kind of aura on his soul that makes me disgusted. It emits a foul odor, which makes me hate it more than the white tiger."
Hu Xiuwu asked Taiyin to elaborate on what a foul smell was, but Taiyin could not explain it clearly. After Hu Xiuwu asked him urgently, he finally came up with a metaphor:
"The aura of Wang Ai is similar to that of the barbarian Wu Tu Gu whom I met before."
Hu Xiuwu said: "Wu Tu Gu? Is he the king of the southern barbarian Wu Ge country, an ally of Meng Huo, and the commander of the rattan armor soldiers who was burned to death by Zhuge Liang?"
Taiyin nodded, and the more he spoke, the more he remembered: "It was him. When I first met him, I hated him. Baihu ignored Zhuge's obstruction and rushed to the front of the formation, wanting to tear him apart."
"Later, Zhuge said that the reason why Baihu and I hated him so much was because Wutugu had devoured spirits. People who have devoured spirits will be hated by all spirits, just like the reason why cannibals are feared by people."
As for serving spirits, Wang family’s magic paint definitely does not have this effect. It is the ability to summon spirits and dispatch generals.
It is new knowledge that wizards who have become possessed by spirits will be hated by the elves.
Hu Xiuwu looked at the Taiyin God again and thought to himself:
This Taiyin God had previously obeyed orders but not declarations. Even though Wang Ai used his divine paint, he was reluctant to use the spirit-subduing method to devour him and improve his cultivation.
He probably didn't know the disadvantages of the spirit-subduing method and still wanted to tame the Taiyin God.
If they can tame the Taiyin God, the Wang family will have obtained a guardian god, which can ensure the continuation of the family heritage.
Wang Ai was definitely unwilling to destroy the Taiyin God like this.
Zhuge Liang calculated that Wang Ai would keep the Taiyin God, and that the Taiyin God would never return to the Wang family. Wang Ai and Wang Bing were just two porters. His real purpose was to hope that I could get the Taiyin God.
Hu Xiuwu suddenly had an idea: "You said Zhuge Liang often asked you to help him set up the battle formation. Can you show me how to do it?"
Taiyin God nodded: "Okay, but without Zhuge and Baihu, I can't unleash the full power of the formation by myself."
"It doesn't matter."
Relying on his own instincts, Taiyin performed the formation with such skill that he could not be more skilled.
"Hmm?" Hu Xiuwu's attitude was a bit casual at first. He rested his hand on his chin and watched the Taiyin God perform the spell with an attitude of appreciating the unique skills of his ancestors.
But after the formation was activated, Hu Xiuwu was no longer calm, because he found that with the activation of the formation, he could actually resonate with Luo Fengtian. He felt that this formation was subtly guiding Luo Fengtian to evolve towards a more perfect world.
The Eight Deceitful Gods are originally eight kinds of innate Qi that were lost by the Snake God. Their main job is to manage the Five Elements and determine directions.
Originally, Luo Fengtian did not have the eight directions, but after Taiyin set up the formation, Hu Xiuwu had a vague feeling that where Taiyin stood was the west.
The God of Taiyin determined the western position of Luofengtian and perfected the laws of Luofengtian.
Hu Xiuwu was stunned and understood Zhuge Liang's intention of arranging Taiyin to meet him:
Let the Taiyin God help me perfect Luo Fengtian and tell me the method to perfect Luo Fengtian.
Use the eight deceitful gods who are closely related to the way of heaven to complete Luo Fengtian.
Chapter 331 Asking for help
Under the guidance of the formation and Hu Xiuwu's Beiyin summoning magical power, the relationship between Taiyin God and the mortal world became increasingly distant, and his connection with Luo Fengtian became increasingly close.
Luo Fengtian was like a weird uncle. He took advantage of Tiandao's injury and confusion to steal the Qi that fell from His body, and gave birth to the lost and confused child Taiyin.
The Taiyin God brought great improvement to Luo Fengtian.
Confined by the barriers of the world, the power of Taiyin God can only reach the limit that the world can bear. At best, it is at the same level as Zhang Zhiwei and Liu Kunsheng.
Although he is stronger than Hu Xiuwu who is not in Luofengtian, he is far inferior to the vastness and grandeur of the Yang world.
But being small also has its advantages.
The world is vast and profound, and it is difficult to understand. The Taiyin God is small in size, so it can be carefully experienced and studied by Luo Fengtian.
The nobleman observed the falling of fruits and learned the secret of gravity. The sage Ge Cuizhu wrote about the enlightenment of knowledge and action. Lao Dan read many books and created the study of morality.
Luo Fengzheng can learn from the sages, comprehend the Taiyin God, learn from nature, and give back to himself.
The sound was so faint that Luo Fengtian was quietly undergoing earth-shaking changes.
There are metal veins beneath the Yin soil of Luofeng. There is no longer only soft and rotten mud on the Yin soil, but also scattered fragments. The walls of Fengdu are becoming thicker and colder, with a metallic texture.
In the past, Luo Fengtian was lifeless. If Hu Xiuwu did not drive it, it would be like a piece of amber. Even if it was vivid and lifelike, it was ultimately a beautiful, lifeless dead object.
Although there are endless treasures hidden inside, I don’t know how to use them.
Constructing a complete world is beyond Hu Xiuwu's ability.
The knowledge gained from analyzing Taiyin Theology became the key to unlocking the treasure, leveraging Luo Fengtian's potential and stimulating his growth.
Just studying the god Taiyin can make Luo Fengtian undergo such a change. If he can gather the eight gods, Luo Fengtian is estimated to be able to give birth to life just like in the present world.
While observing the process of Luo Fengtian's evolution, Hu Xiuwu asked Taiyin God if he knew the locations of the other eight fraudulent gods.
But Taiyin God does not know the whereabouts of the other eight fraudulent gods.
