Chapter 63 Container

As for how the Tsuchimikado-ryu Onmyoji escaped from this place, Qi Xuansu could not make a final conclusion for the time being. However, Qi Xuansu had some guesses as to why Tsuchimikado Tadaka was left here and another seal was imposed before leaving.

Perhaps the key to the time loop lies in Tadaka Tsuchimikado.

If this guess is true, how to break this cycle?

Killing is definitely not an option.

Qi Xuansu split Tsuchimikado Tadaka in half during the first cycle. Its internal structure was obviously different from ordinary people. It didn't look like a living person, but more like some kind of insect. Instead of flesh and blood, it was made of mucus. However, he failed to stop the time loop. After the bright moon appeared, Qi Xuansu still entered the second loop.

Was it the wrong way to kill?

How can we connect Tsuchimikado Tadaka and Mingyue?

Thinking of this, Qi Xuansu's heart moved.

Tadaka Tsuchimikado once said that Tsukiyomimon gave his divine power to this place. He is the moon god among the three main gods. Maybe there is some connection between the moon and Tsukiyomi Zun? In other words, that moon is the embodiment of the power of Yue Ye Jianzun.

Based on Qi Xuansu's understanding of divine power, although divine power is nearly omnipotent, it has a huge shortcoming, that is, it requires a container. Because divine power is not something that exists naturally in heaven and earth, but is forcibly condensed and created by human power. Without a container, divine power would continue to drain away.

Divine power is like water. If you pour the water on the ground, it will evaporate quickly, but if you put the water in a pot, it can be stored for a long time.

For example, the divine power of the Kingdom of God is actually constantly flowing away, but the divine power gathered in the Kingdom of God is too huge, and no changes can be seen in a short period of time. If the Kingdom of God is never replenished with new divine power, it will one day run out of divine power, and eventually the Kingdom of God will collapse. The "Thirty-Three Days" built by the Taoist sect, commonly known as the Babel Tower, is the largest storage container of divine power in the world. Most spiritual officials receive their divine power from here, and most of the divine power from various Taoist governments are also transported here.

The reason why Taoist formations can exist for a long time is because they are connected to the earth's energy. If the earth's energy is endless, the formations will exist for a long time. Therefore, when many immortals break the formation, they often choose to directly interrupt the earth veins, essentially cutting off their roots.

Divine power and earth energy are two completely different things, and it is difficult to transform into each other. Naturally, they cannot exist for a long time by connecting earth energy. Under normal circumstances, if you want to allow divine power to act on a certain place for a long time and reduce unnecessary losses, you need a container.

Divine power is extracted from the power of incense and the will. The power of incense is what the East calls it, and the West calls it faith. Whether it is the power of incense or the power of faith, they all come from people, so people are the best containers. .

So Taoism chose to use the human foundation to create the Lingguan Armor, instead of turning the Lingguan Armor into a more obedient Lingguan Puppet.

The best choice for the gods to descend is to find a person as a container, which can minimize the loss of divine power and extend the time of the descending.

[In view of the general environment,

This basic principle is the same at all times and in all countries.

Moon Night Jianzun has lowered his divine power. If you want your divine power to exist for a long time, for decades or even hundreds of years, it is best to choose a container to avoid the natural loss of divine power. The divine power will also extend the life of the container until Until the divine power is completely exhausted.

In short, the formation is rooted in the earth's energy, so it needs to be consistent with the surrounding environment. The most common one is based on the landscape and terrain. For example, the "Tai Shang San Qing Dragon and Tiger Formation" in Yunjin Mountain is connected to Yunjin Mountain. Eighty-one peaks and thirty-six rocks are the methods of Qi refiners. Divine power relies on people, and the key to breaking the formation lies in people.

Speaking of the "Tai Shang San Qing Dragon and Tiger Formation", we have to mention the Celestial Master Rebellion. At that time, Xuan Sheng broke the formation, not to flatten the eighty-one peaks one by one, but to interrupt the earth veins hidden deep underground. , so the formation was broken, causing an earthquake, which destroyed the original appearance of Yunjin Mountain.

Using this idea to speculate, if Tsuchimikado Tadaka is the container chosen by Tsukiyomizon, and the time cycle here is regarded as the "Tai Shang San Qing Dragon and Tiger Formation", then Tsuchimikado Tadaka is equivalent to Yun

Jinshan Eighty-one Peak. If you want to break the formation, the key lies not in the eighty-one peaks, which are just appearances, but in the earth energy flowing in the mountains. In the same way, the key to breaking the time loop does not lie in Tsuchimikado Tadaka, but in the divine power that exists within him.

Thinking further, Qi Xuansu seems to have killed Tsuchimikado Tadaka, but after entering the next cycle, Tsuchimikado Tadaka will go back to the original state. Strictly speaking, Qi Xuansu did not really kill Tsuchimikado Tadaka. Of course, it can't be said that the container was destroyed.

If all the inferences are true, then Tsuchimikado Tadaka, as a container, continues the existence of divine power, and the divine power in turn protects Tsuchimikado Tadaka from being Easily obliterated, a perfect closed loop is formed between the two, just like yin and yang complementing each other.

Then there is another question, how did the Onmyoji of Tsuchimikado style escape?

Perhaps the Onmyoji of Tsuchimikado Ryu escaped here before the "circle" was completely closed at this time. Before leaving, he imposed a seal with lingering fear to prevent Tsuchimikado Tadaka from escaping. Tsuchimikado Tadaka was unaware of the reason. Thinking that he had been abandoned by his companions, he began to go crazy.

So where did Suzuka Gozen go? Escaped like the Tsuchimikado-ryu Onmyoji? Or are you trapped somewhere? Does Suzuka Gozen have anything to do with this "circle" of time?

Qi Xuansu felt that he was overwhelmed with thoughts, so he had to put aside the question of Suzuka Gozen for the time being and began to concentrate on how to completely kill Tsuchimikado Tadayoshi.

If you can't solve the problem, solve the person who raised the problem. This seems to apply here as well.

However, Qi Xuansu was quite self-aware. It was difficult for him to do this with his realm cultivation in the Xiaoyao stage. In any case, the divine power brought down by Yue Yejianzun was at least at the level of pseudo-immortal. The gap between the two sides was too big.

In other words, the priests of the shrine could descend, and Qi Xuansu could also ask the three yin objects to take action. If the realm is not enough, helpers will come to make up.

However, this place is in a closed state, and the yin energy is insufficient, so Qi Xuansu cannot communicate with the ghost country cave.

Qi Xuansu had to look at Xiao Yin beside him, thinking.

Xiao Yin was a little scared by his look, and couldn't help asking: "What do you want to do?"

Qi Xuansu said: "Xiao Yin, when we were in An Nong County, you deliberately misled me and tricked me into opening the seal."

"In the end, you got the advantage?" Xiao Yin said confidently, "Do you want to cross the river and burn the bridge? Don't forget that the head is still in my stomach. If you dare to break the contract, I will digest it immediately."

Qi Xuansu waved his hand and said: "That's not what I mean. I want to say that when you misled me, you created a lot of Yin Qi. Can you create more Yin Qi now? I want to ask Mr. Yin to come over."

Xiao Yin said vigilantly: "Do you want grandpa to take me back?"

Qi Xuansu shook his head and said: "It has nothing to do with you, but there is something strange here. Maybe only Mr. Yin, who is proficient in magic, can break it."

Just as the two were talking, colorful light appeared in the sky again.

Qi Xuansu sighed: "It seems that we have to wait until next time."

"What do you mean?" Xiao Yin didn't understand.

Qi Xuansu looked up at the sky, and a bright moon appeared quietly, and the moonlight swallowed everything again.

After a moment of trance, Qi Xuansu appeared in front of the shrine for the sixth time.

Qi Xuansu didn't waste any time and directly told Xiao Yin about the situation.

Xiao Yin was a little confused: "You said that the reason you can retain the memory of the previous few cycles is because you have the "Heart of the Immortal Stone". What is this? Can it be eaten?"

Qi Xuansu said concisely: "The reason why your three elders value me so much is mainly because I have this thing."

"I see." Xiao Yin no longer entangled in this matter, "In other words, you want me to create Yin Qi, and then ask Grandpa to help us break this time loop."

Qi Xuansu asked: "Can you do it?"

???????????????? Xiao Yin said: "The reason why I was able to deceive you at that time was mainly because the Yin Qi of Ise was too heavy. The time and place were favorable, and I was more of gathering Yin Qi.

I definitely can't do it by myself, but don't worry, we still have this."

After that, Xiao Yin opened his mouth, put his hand into his throat and fumbled for a while, and then took out a head that was still dripping with blood.

The head of Shuten Douji.

This is the head of the three demon kings. The yin energy it emits can even penetrate the seal and turn into rain.

Xiao Yin grabbed the hair of the head and shook it gently, muttering something.

Soon, the rolling yin energy escaped from the broken neck of the head and the gaps of the seven orifices.

At this time, the head was like an incense burner.

Qi Xuansu did not hesitate and directly began to communicate with the ghost country cave.

The rolling yin energy was like a sea of ​​clouds and fog, like the ebb and flow of the tide.

Countless black mists gathered towards Qi Xuansu like a vortex, and finally turned into a door.

I saw the black mist rolling inside the door, as if it led to the nine yin underworld.

A decrepit old man walked out of the door, like a teacher who had never been able to get a good name in his life.

Xiao Yin picked up the head in his hand and pounced on it.

Mr. Yin embraced Xiao Yin: "Be careful, don't splash blood on yourself."

Qi Xuansu bowed and said: "Hello, Mr. Yin."

Mr. Yin looked at Qi Xuansu, and then found the abnormality here, and said: "Are you in trouble?"

Qi Xuansu told Mr. Yin all his speculations.

After listening, Mr. Yin generally agreed with Qi Xuansu's speculations, but he was not panicked: "Let's go, let me see the means of this foreign god."

The three of them passed through the cave and saw the wandering Tsuchimikado Tadataka again.

Mr. Yin just took a look and concluded: "There is indeed a divine power. As you said, the best way is to destroy the container of the divine power."

Before he finished speaking, Mr. Yin stretched out his hand and wiped it.

Tsuchimikado Tadataka's whole body was like a stain on the glass, which was wiped away directly without leaving any trace.

From beginning to end, Tsuchimikado Tadataka did not undergo any changes, as if he had never existed.
