Under One Person: One Person Goes

Chapter 325: Humanity, can it reach the sky? Humanity, can reach the sky!

“True Soul Flame is a method of killing enemies that requires extremely high levels of life and energy from the practitioner.

The practice method is for the practitioner to extract a bit of the most yang essence from the evil soul transformed by the deceased, and then repeatedly refine it with his own practice, turning it into a bit of soul flame, called true soul flame.

Once it is refined, the True Soul Flame will be attached to external objects. It can break the spells on the outside and hurt the human soul on the inside. If it is under the same level, it will kill with one strike!

However, there are also flaws. After a person dies, his Qi turns into wind and his flesh turns into mud. Without any means to help, it is very difficult to capture the evil soul after a person dies. Moreover, the number of soul essences required to refine a wisp of true soul flame can reach thousands of people, and it cannot be regenerated, so it is gone once it is used up.

If it is a time of peace, even if one hides in a mass grave every day for ten to eight years, one will still need to work hard to achieve some success with a fist-sized true soul flame.

This method was not created by our ancestors of the Tianshi Mansion. Instead, it was left to the next Tianshi Mansion by a master named Cui who was on good terms with the Tianshi of the Tianshi Mansion during the Five Barbarians' Invasion of China and the migration of the Chinese people to the south, in order to protect the people and stop the Hu army from escaping south. This was done to prevent this method from being lost.

Because this technique is a means of killing enemies and surviving in troubled times, it has been listed as a forbidden technique by successive Heavenly Masters of the Heavenly Master Mansion. It cannot be practiced unless the country is in chaos and the country is in ruins.

My three uncles were all extremely talented at first, but they were not strong enough in character, and the situation was turbulent at that time, with warlords fighting each other.

So they came up with a plan, to go down the mountain and seek refuge with a warlord, letting him start a war, and they would use the souls of these soldiers on the battlefield to practice the True Soul Flame. If it weren't for the special situation at the time, the master wouldn't have asked the master for mercy for the three of them, and would have just imprisoned them. "

Wang Yi helped Zhang Zhiwei collect the bodies of the three Taoist priests, and listened to Zhang Zhiwei's explanation of the reasons.

Zhang Enpu, who had already defected to the National Government and became the President of the Taoist Honorary Association, used his power to force the Heavenly Master to pass the throne to him. He was willing to break the precepts and release those who had committed mistakes in the Heavenly Master's Mansion but whose crimes were not punishable by death. He made promises, but he had only one target, and that was Zhang Zhiwei.

During this period, the transfer of the large army not only had to break through the blockade set up by the National Government, but Zhang Zhiwei also had to fight with these elusive colleagues. During this period, at least fifty of his colleagues died at the hands of Zhang Zhiwei.

This kind of assassination is a classic tactic of the Kuomintang.

Listening to Zhang Zhiwei talking about this method called True Soul Flame and the dangers that the large army had encountered during this period, Wang Yi was also very sad, but he also remembered what Mr. Li told him before he was executed in the capital.

You can only read this history and cannot tinker with it. Without the Long March, there might not have been a new China.

Wang Yi suddenly spoke up to help Zhang Zhiwei collect the bodies of the three old Taoist priests.

"You also know how to use the True Soul Flame, right?"

"Ah."

Zhang Zhiwei's answer was straightforward and Wang Yi was not surprised. Others used Golden Light Curse and Thunder Magic to fight the enemy, but that didn't mean they only knew these two. It was just that most of the time, these two were all they needed to solve all problems.

Especially when Wang Yi looked at the blazing true soul flame emanating from Zhang Zhiwei's body, and thought of the army Zhang Zhiwei had joined, which had fought so many battles with the Kuomintang in recent years, that Zhang Zhiwei didn't need to deliberately practice this technique, as he could have practiced it to the same level as the master named Cui.

The current situation is perfect for this method of killing enemies and surviving in troubled times.

"I didn't expect that there are so many methods in our circle that I don't know about."

"Those that have been passed down to the present, whether they are small sects or famous families, can be traced back to the various schools of thought in the pre-Qin period. Over the past thousands of years, in addition to their own hidden treasures, they have more or less some lost methods from other families, but each has its pros and cons. They will not use them unless it is a critical moment to eradicate them. Sir, it is not easy for you, so you should also be careful not to get into trouble by accident. Do you want me to teach you this method?"

"Forget about it for now. All methods are ultimately about cultivating one's life. My basic skills are passable and sufficient to deal with it. I'd better wait until peace comes and then choose a successor to pass on this method. By the way, how is the master doing?"

"It's pretty good, Wang Yi. I really believe in the blessing of national destiny now. Do you believe it?"

"Oh? Our Tiantong Taoist actually believes in the blessing of national destiny? Interesting, tell me about it. You two should come over too. It's just right for your Uncle Zhang to tell the story of your father."

As he spoke, Wang Yi waved towards the woods, and the two boys he brought with him were also led over. When Zhang Zhiwei saw the two children, his body trembled and his eyes opened as wide as possible.

Although their faces had changed, Zhang Zhiwei already understood the identities of the two children.

Looking at Wang Yi, he just nodded to him.

The two children who sat down politely called Zhang Zhiwei "Uncle Zhang". They had seen Zhang Zhiwei in their few childhood memories.

At that time, only Zhang Zhiwei could cross the blockade and help the gentleman deliver the letter home without wasting time.

The two children sat down and looked at Zhang Zhiwei eagerly, waiting for him to start speaking. Zhang Zhiwei touched the two children's heads lovingly and talked about an incident that happened before the capture of Luding Bridge in late May.
-
May, the 24th year of the Republic of China, in Sichuan.

At this time, the Red Army had just escaped from the encirclement of the National Army, leaving hundreds of thousands of National Army troops far behind, and was preparing to force a crossing of the Dadu River and continue northward to join the brother troops.

The Nationalist army, having come to their senses, began to chase the enemy from the north and block them from the south, hoping to annihilate them south of the Dadu River.

The battle of wits and courage between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party is still going on. For Wang Yi, who knows the outcome, he is not worried. For Zhang Zhiwei, who also shared Wang Yi's memory in that dream, he is not worried either and will let everything happen naturally.

But for the strange sects in Sichuan and Shu, the outcome of everything happening under their noses is still unknown.

In particular, the huge disparity in military strength between the two sides and the past events of the Taiping Rebellion in this area also made them pessimistic about the Red Army.

In the dark night, Tang Bingwen, the leader of the Tang Clan, stood on a high place, looking at the town lit up by torches below. The Red Army soldiers who were temporarily resting here did not harass the civilians. Not only did they not harm anyone, but they also enforced strict military discipline and took the initiative to help the civilians who provided them with accommodation to fetch water and chop firewood.

The one-eyed blind leader of the Tang clan looked at everything in front of him and became increasingly unable to understand the current state of the world.

How many armies in history have there been that did not harm the people and had strict military discipline during their escape? Yes, there was such an army during the reign of Han Prime Minister Zhuge Wuhou, and Yue Fei's army during the Song Dynasty was one, but they all lost.

Thinking of this, Tang Bingwen also sighed.

The Tang Clan is a gray sect that accepts killing orders. It has been able to be passed down to this day, so naturally it has its own set of survival rules.

But at the end of the 21st year of the Republic of China, Wang Yi came to the Tang Clan specifically to ask for a commission, and asked the Tang Clan's chief master to take ten of his followers with him to go outside the Great Wall to fight the Japanese pirates outside the Great Wall. The chief master and his followers would come back and report to the clan leader Tang Bingwen what they had seen and heard outside the Great Wall.

After hearing about what the Japanese pirates outside the Great Wall had done, and seeing the newspaper that Wang Yi had specially published but not distributed, the head of the Tang Clan, Tang Bingwen, understood that the situation in the Republic of China would still be chaotic, there would still be wars to be fought, and the Tang Clan's rules of survival would likely change with the arrival of a truly peaceful world, and even the structure of the extraordinary world would change.

However, Tang Bingwen didn't know who would bring about this peaceful world and who would create it. The reason why he was here was to see whether this army that was being chased and intercepted by the government would be the ones to create a peaceful world in the future.

"Awen."

While thinking about these things, the eldest master also appeared behind the head of the Tang clan and looked at the town below with him.

"Brother, is everything done?"

"After Shuangying brought Wang Yi's letter to you and me, I mobilized the resources of the sect and prepared the supplies. But I see that you seem a little undecided now."

"This concerns the future of the Tang Sect. How can I make a rash judgment? Senior Brother, do you think they have a way out?"

"Yes, just cross the bridge."

"Do they know?"

"At present, it seems that I don't know that the way out is to seize the bridge and fly across it. In fact, I didn't know it at first, and it was an old man who told me."

"How can an old man understand this aspect of military affairs?"

"He is not an ordinary old man. When he was young, he was a member of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and witnessed the destruction of Shi Dakai's army. Since then, he has been thinking about how to survive the crisis if another army falls into the same danger as Shi Dakai's army one day. Finally, he thought of it, but there seems to be no army like the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. What do you think, should I go down and tell them? Ah Wen."

"You are my senior brother."

"You are the leader of the Tang Sect. I cannot help you make a decision regarding the future of the Tang Sect."

“Is that old man far from here?”

"Not far, very close."

"How long will they stay here?"

"It will only take a few days."

"The government's newspapers have been saying that they are bandits, but whether they are real or not, whether they are hard to eliminate or fake or easy to get rid of, I'll let God make the decision for me."

Tang Menchang stood with his hands behind his back and sighed, looking at the night sky above his head. The stars were twinkling, echoing the sparks below.

The eldest master did not say much about Sect Leader Tang's decision. He just stayed here with him, waiting for God to give them an answer.

And the answer came very quickly. Soon, with the cultivation level of Patriarch Tang and the eldest master, they heard a commotion coming from the town below.

It can be seen that an old man with relatively clean clothes is arguing with two young Red Army soldiers. It is not appropriate to call it an argument, because in the eyes of the Tang clan leader and the eldest master, the two soldiers did not do anything rude to the old man, they just stopped him and spoke to him kindly.

But this scene had a profound impact on the head of the Tang clan and the eldest master.

Because the old man's action now is, to put it in a big way, an attack on the military camp. As for the warlords in Sichuan and Shu, the old man would have been shot dead before he even reached the gate of the military camp. How could such a thing happen now?

When the head of the Tang clan and the eldest master saw this scene, they knew that God had given them the answer.

"Come on, brother, let's go meet the commander here. I really want to see who is the man who can lead such a troop."

"Awen, I haven't seen you smile so happily in a long time."

"Really? I don't know why, but I just feel very happy."

In the town, Zhang Zhiwei, the company commander of the guard company, also heard the noise outside and walked out with a frown.

"what happened?"

"Captain, this old man wants to see the highest commander here, saying that he knows how to cross the river. But we told him that he could talk to us first and we would report to him, but the old man refused to see him and insisted on seeing him, so..."

"Okay, you guys go on guard, I'll do it."

"Yes, Captain."

After the soldier left, Zhang Zhiwei stepped forward and was about to explain his position to the old man when he looked up at the darkness behind the old man.

"I didn't expect that the Heavenly Master had such a hidden reason when he expelled the Little Heavenly Master from the mountain gate. The Heavenly Master had good intentions."

"There is no Zhang Zhiwei from the Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion here. There is only the Red Army Guard Company Commander Zhang Zhiwei. You can call me Captain Zhang. Master Tang, we are just passing through here and will not stay long. Please give us some convenience."

"Captain Zhang, please don't be surprised. We two brothers are here to guarantee this old man. If we want to cross the river, we can only fly across and seize the bridge. Captain Zhang, please go inside and inform them that we two want to meet the person inside with this old man."

The head of the Tang clan and the eldest master emerged from the darkness and clasped their fists towards Zhang Zhiwei.

Looking at the head and the eldest master of the Tang clan who appeared here, as well as the old man who responded in front of him, Zhang Zhiwei also understood that the matter was of great importance. After clasping his fists towards the two seniors, he turned and left.

"That night, I stayed outside the house alone, listening to the two seniors and the old man talking with you until dawn. After that, we crossed the bridge and received some supplies from the Tang Sect. I also got the letter you asked the master to pass on to me and you. I waited until the troops had crossed the bridge smoothly before I dared to leave you and come here to meet you.

Before that, there was another thing that made me believe this even more. You know, I am a Taoist, and I am obsessed with the word three. Most things in this world conform to this principle of three. Only this time, I found that everything can be broken. Crossing the Chishui River four times to launch a surprise attack, haha, hahaha! When I was in the mountains in the past, my master gave me the Taoist name Tiantong, which means "Heaven connects to the people, and the human way connects to the sky". My master had great expectations for me, but after crossing the Chishui River four times, I wanted to try another interpretation of it by the master, "The human way connects to the sky!"

Zhang Zhiwei sat there and laughed out loud, his inner energy surging, causing a gust of wind to blow up from the ground. Obviously, after telling Wang Yi about the past, Zhang Zhiwei's cultivation had improved further!
　True Soul Flame comes from the Chinese immortal cultivation comic "Shen Jing Bang" serialized in the comic magazine "Zhiyin Manke" in 08. It is the famous skill of Cui Shao, one of the three protagonists, and it has been completed.

　　Teacher Mi Er was still alive when he was drawing Da Ai and Jiujiu Ba Shi Yi. It is a very good Chinese animation. If you are interested, you can go and have a look.
