I searched for corpses in the Wuding River to extract entries

The entire Yingzhou world is divided into nine states and four islands.

Its land area is so vast that it extends for seven million miles vertically and covers a full three million miles horizontally.

Such an area is almost unimaginably vast for ordinary people.

However, in the eyes of the monks, this does not seem to be the case.

Especially after reaching the realm of Yangshen Zhenjun, they can cross thousands of miles with a single thought, and such a distance is just a stone's throw away for them.

The distance from Aoki Shrine on Dongshan Road where Xie Que was located to Tenbakufu was more than 700,000 miles long.

If Xie Que were to travel with the fourth realm cultivation level of Kurokawa Takeshi, even if he worked day and night without rest, it would still take him several months to reach his destination.

Because of this, Xie Que decided to go directly to the Lingshousi branch in Dongshan Road to abolish his own Yin-Yang magic.

This decision was a bit reluctant for his father, Ichiro Kurokawa.

Ichiro Kurokawa was not a gifted cultivator, but his son Takeshi was the most gifted Onmyoji he had ever seen in his thousand years.

However, today the power of the shogunate is like a real sky curtain, covering the entire Yingzhou world under its control.

Those former friends and predecessors, no matter how powerful their Yin-Yang skills were, could only accept becoming ordinary people in the end.

Or like a stray dog, living in fear every day.

Although Takeshi has regained consciousness, Ichiro's worries grow even more severe.

Despite this, he chose to support Takeshi's decision out of deep respect and understanding for his son.

So they went to the Toyama Daofanfu, intending to visit the Toyama daimyo first.

If possible, perhaps the Wu Division could also join the Linghun Division, so there would be no need to abandon their cultivation.

Speaking of this Daimyoji Toyama, from the perspective of master-disciple relationship, he can actually be regarded as Ichiro's uncle.

In his early years, he and his father studied Yin-Yang Jutsu together at Aoki Shrine and they had a fellow-disciple friendship.

However, what Xie Que did not expect was that

The uncle-master chose to refuse directly, claiming that he could not make the decision on the members of the Spirit Hunting Division and that it needed to be reviewed by the Tianmu Palace.

Ichiro had also anticipated such a situation.

After all, this uncle-master was famous for his impartiality and impartiality. He had sought mercy from him before, but also failed.

He could only let Wu Si go directly to Lingshou Si.

Although cultivation is difficult, abolishing cultivation only takes a moment.

The abolition of Yin-Yang magic in the Spirit Hunting Division was not only to abolish the practice, but also to formally register and prove their status as a "good citizen".

In the Spirit Hunting Division, Xie Que went through a painful process of abolishing his cultivation.

When all the Yin-Yang magic and spiritual energy in his body were drained away one by one, the pain was so severe that Xie Que felt a splitting headache. His entire body seemed to be emptied and filled with weakness.

He could no longer feel the existence of the soul in his body.

In order to prevent the Onmyojis from rebuilding after their powers were abolished, the Spirit Hunting Division also set restrictions in their bodies.

However, for Xie Que, these restrictions did not pose a big problem. After all, he had never given much thought to re-cultivating Yin-Yang magic.

Floating down the winding Manye River,

It was already midnight when Xie Que and Ichiro Kurokawa returned to Aoki Shrine, dozens of miles away, from the bustling Higashiyama Castle.

In the night, the ancient architectural outline of Aoki Shrine is looming, exuding an ancient and solemn atmosphere.

Xie Que looked up and was surprised to find that there were still lights flickering inside the shrine.

The father and son gently pushed open the door, and a strong smell of medicinal herbs hit their noses.

Although the smell is a bit pungent, it makes people feel inexplicably at ease.

Xie Que walked slowly to the side hall, only to see Gongzi half-kneeling on the ground, with his upper body leaning against the wall, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was about to fall asleep.

She held a medicine jar tightly in her arms, and the fragrance of the medicinal herbs in the jar lingered around his nose.

A dim green lamp shone on Gongzi's face, and her tired look revealed an indescribable persistence.

Gongzi, sensing someone approaching, quickly woke up from his half-sleep.

She was about to stand up to greet her returning family, but she found that her legs and feet were numb from staying in the same position for a long time.

However, this did not affect the joy on her face.

"Brother, you are finally back..."

Gongzi's voice was filled with endless longing and concern.

She looked at Xie Que, her eyes sparkling with light:
"The villagers said that after a Yin-Yang master becomes an ordinary person, his body will be weak for a long time. This is the medicinal herbs I collected from the mountains and made this soup especially for you."

As Gongzi spoke, he handed the medicine jar in his arms to Xie Que:
"It's okay to become an ordinary person. I can always be with my brother..."

Xie Que took the medicine jar and gently rubbed the other person's hair.
"Thanks a lot."

Upon hearing this, Gongzi shook his head with a look of joy on his face:

"It's not hard, as long as my brother can come back safely."

There was a tremor in her voice, an emotion mixed with excitement and joy.

In the past few years, Wu Si has been immersed in spiritual practice. At the same time, in order to avoid being hunted down by the Spirit Hunting Department and due to the particularity of the method he practiced, he always maintained an indifferent attitude towards Gongzi.

This indifference made Gongzi silently endure the pain and loss in his heart.

However, it now seems that her brother has changed a little, which rekindles hope in Yumiko's heart.

Ichiro Kurokawa was in a heavy mood because of Takeshi's loss of all his skills, so he didn't say much, just walked into the room and closed the door.

He needs time to accept this fact and also time to adjust his emotions.

Yumiko looked at Takeshi's handsome face, her heart beating fast and her face flushed slightly.

She quickly changed the subject and said, "The medicine is cold, don't drink it yet, I'll go heat it up."

Having said that, she turned and walked towards the woodshed to find some firewood.

However, Xie Que stopped her and said with a smile:

"No, you should go and rest early. We have already eaten on the boat, and we can't drink this medicine now."

Gongzi listened and nodded obediently: "Okay, brother should also rest early, I will make medicine for you tomorrow."

After Gongzi left, Xie Que went to get some medicinal herbs.

He returned to his room and began to carefully check his surroundings to make sure his actions would not be noticed by the outside world.

He closed the doors and windows tightly and hung a sheet behind the window to cover the room tightly.

After completing these preparations, Xie Que sat cross-legged on the ground and began to examine himself.

He closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths to calm himself.

Then, he began to carefully examine his physical condition, feeling the situation inside his body and the width of his meridians.

Wu Si, who practiced Yin-Yang magic, naturally has a body that is different from that of ordinary people.

"The so-called Yin-Yang technique is actually not that different from Taoism."

"Its birth is mainly due to the fact that the environment in Yingzhou is poor in spiritual energy and the concentration of spiritual energy is extremely low, so such a unique way of practice has evolved." This way of practice is the crystallization of wisdom created by the practitioners of Yingzhou in order to adapt to the environment and improve themselves under the conditions of limited resources.

In Yingzhou, Yin-Yang Masters would do their best to comprehend the power of Yin-Yang and the Five Elements when they were in the Four Realms.

In this way, they can continuously circulate the limited spiritual energy within their bodies, thereby achieving the maximum usage limit.

The subtlety of this method lies in that it enables practitioners to effectively advance their own practice even in an environment with thin spiritual energy.

However, due to the lack of spiritual energy in the environment, the amount of spiritual energy that can be stored in their bodies is very limited.

At the same time, the number of their spiritual thoughts is not large.

Although this method of practice can speed up the practice to a certain extent, it also has obvious flaws.

Due to the lack of internal strength, the realm of the Onmyojis in Yingzhou is somewhat superficial.

There may even be a situation where ten fifth-level Yin-Yang practitioners are unable to match a true Yangshen Zhenjun.

However, the method that Takeshi Kurokawa had practiced before did not originate from the traditional Yin-Yang magic passed down from Aoki Shrine.

What he practiced was a mysterious method that Ichiro Kurokawa discovered by chance in his early years, called "Yanluo Demon King's Soul Book".

Because of practicing this unique method, Wu Si's personality was also affected, appearing a little sinister, which made people feel a little scared.

Even after the Yin-Yang Technique was abolished, the influence of this technique still remained in Xie Que's body.

The breath of the underworld floated in his dantian, and a strong aura of death emanated from his body.

If you are practicing martial arts, this is absolutely not possible.

Dead air is the mortal enemy of Qi and blood. If it is not eliminated, it will be difficult to enter the realm of martial arts.

However, this was not a problem at all for Xie Que, and it was actually a help.

Long ago, Xie Que and Shan Zhen used the method of the underworld to deduce the martial arts.
He obtained the three martial arts classics: "The Great Mahayana Sword of the Ten Directions", "The Compassionate Wish to Cultivate the Void to Overcome Disasters", and "The True Book of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva to Eliminate Fixed Karma".

Moreover, these three can be directly cultivated to the Martial God stage.

Xie Que pondered for a while and chose "Sad Wish Prison Void Cultivation to Overcome Tribulations" as the martial arts technique for this body.

The foundation of this method comes from Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, so there is no need to conceal it when using it in the Yingzhou world.

Moreover, the rich death energy in the body can serve as nourishment for this method.

……

He stayed awake all night until a ray of light appeared in the east, and Xie Que finally opened the door.

Last night, he used several common medicinal herbs to cleanse his bones and marrow, expelling all the impurities from his body.

Otherwise, under the cover of death energy, even he would find it difficult to sense a trace of qi and blood.

After washing and removing all the dirt from the body,
Xie Que climbed onto the roof of the shrine, sat at the highest point he could find, and looked far into the east.

After a long time, a hint of dawn finally appeared in the east.

In Xie Que's eyes, the countless spiritual energies between heaven and earth were all dyed purple at this moment.

And this is the moment he has been waiting for!

He hurriedly began to breathe in and out with a special rhythm, and the strands of purple air were instantly swallowed into his stomach and pressed to his dantian.

At this moment, the purple air began to entangle the dead energy that was sinking into Xie Que's body.

Xie Que also stood up immediately, jumped from the roof into the yard, and began to practice a set of boxing techniques.

After completing a set of movements, he was already sweating profusely.

But Xie Que did not finish, he started from the beginning again, practicing the boxing technique over and over again.

It was not until a long time later, accompanied by a crisp sound of air breaking through the air,
Xie Que's whole body suddenly shook, and an electric current flowed through his body.

"Qi and blood!"

He was not surprised and felt the existence of qi and blood at this moment.

But at this moment the purple air had dissipated, and the dead energy in the body became active again.

Xie Que had no choice but to give up and stop practicing his boxing.

However, achieving this step is enough for Xie Que.

As long as there is qi and blood, even if it is only a little bit, it is enough for one to get started with the practice of "Sad Wish Prison Void Cultivation to Overcome Disaster".

He slowed down his rapid breathing, stood still, and concentrated his energy into his dantian.

At this time, Ichiro Kurokawa also pushed open the door. He had already noticed the noise outside, but he did not disturb his son.

Seeing that he seemed to have finished his "exercise", he pushed the door open and walked out.

"Becoming a samurai seems to be a good choice."

"Although I can only cultivate to the level of a junior master (third realm), at least I have the power to protect myself."

Ichiro smiled and said something to his son, then left.

The warriors in Yingzhou world have no qi and blood, they just sharpen their bodies.
Even the strongest one is just an Onmyoji who can rival the third realm.

Moreover, these Three Realm Yin-Yang Masters are not so powerful. If you take any martial arts master from the Great Zhou, I am afraid that he can easily sweep away the so-called Three Realm Warriors.

After Ichilang left, Xie Que also picked up the medicine jar that Gongzi had brought him yesterday and drank it all.

He knew the medicinal properties of these herbs as soon as he smelled them, and they happened to be all herbs that could replenish qi and blood.

It is also very useful for him now.

"But these are far from enough..."

In the following days, Xie Que began to practice martial arts step by step.

After all, Yingzhou is completely isolated from the outside world, and even the underworld cannot sense the situation inside.

Xie Que wanted to speed up the process, but there was nothing he could do.

If I were discovered by Lord Nichiren, my body would be turned to ashes in an instant.

"If you want to practice Prison Void Tribulation, you must first integrate the death energy into your entire body."

"The fascia, skin, muscles, blood vessels, internal organs, bones, marrow, and even the brain will be infected with dead energy."

"This method is to constantly stimulate the Qi and blood with the dead energy, so that one can transform into a stronger physical body."

"But it seems that there are still some problems with resources."

"Poor in literature, rich in martial arts..."

Fortunately, a lot of valuables were left at Aoki Shrine.

Xie Que took out all the gold and silver, and Ichilang didn't do anything about it.

Except for two villages, the surrounding areas of Aoki Shrine are all barren mountains and wilderness. Many people in the village make a living by hunting.

Xie Que did not plan to hunt by himself, but to purchase directly from those hunters.

After all, I don't need any battle training, and hunting is time-consuming. (End of this chapter)
