Chapter 29 Death
‘Ghost energy?’ Looking at the falling black energy, Yuchen raised his eyebrows.
Ghost energy is different from yin energy, evil energy, turbid energy and other heaven and earth vitality. Ghost energy is a semi-manual energy that is basically impossible to be born from nature. According to Yuchen, the essence of ghost energy is the final thought of living beings when they die, and the product after they are mixed with yin energy. It is also affected by the concepts of fear, death, etc., which is difficult to divide.
However, it is certain that due to the characteristics that the deceased cannot remain in the world for a long time, the ghost energy flowing in nature is accumulated and deposited over the years, or affected by a specific environment, and can gradually take shape.
Nowadays, the ghost energy driven by the crow totem is obviously created through special techniques, almost as it is created by ghost practice.
As for how many people died during the condensation of these ghost energy, Yu Chen didn't know. He could only determine that since the other party had condensed the ghost energy, it means that the Crow Totem had chosen the path of specializing in death.
‘Specialize in death?’
Yuchen could understand this.
Although crows are somewhat similar to foxes, they do not exist as simple negative symbols from the beginning. Their meanings have been changed over time. It is recorded in "Book of Shangshu": "When Zhou was in full swing, there were seeds from the Great Chiwu Valley and gathered on the king's house. King Wu was happy and all the doctors were happy."
In the legend of the Southern Barbarians, crows also have birds of death, birds of alarm, birds of prophecy, and birds of auspiciousness. They not only indicate the potential of crow totems, but also indicate the direction the other party can move forward.
But unfortunately, except for the name of Bird of Death, the other roads are not suitable for a totem that needs to protect the tribe.
The Nanman area is not stable, not only with limited resources, but there is not much land suitable for farming. In addition to the backward agricultural technology, many times the big part of the tribe's grain source is still hunting.
This is also the reason why Yuchen is still highly respected by the snake tribe after leaving the tribe as a big snake witch.
Because before he took power, most people would go hungry, and every winter, a large number of people who had lost their ability to work would enter the deep forest alone and never come back.
In such an environment, the birds that have the ability to alert the police and the birds that bring good luck cannot lead the tribe to survive better and better. Instead, the birds that can sense the vitality of living creatures, weaken the enemy, and bring the enemy the fear of death, are the most suitable for the crow totem.
‘However, relative! Compared to calling the police, prophecy and auspiciousness, the bird of death has the lowest spirituality!’
Yu Chen reached out and threw out the snake shadow banner. The mist rose, swallowing the falling ghost energy. The crow totem made a harsh cry, and exuded a cold air. Patterns like crows appeared on the snake shadow banner, suppressing the snake patterns on it.
Seeing his magic weapon being sealed and eroded by the crow totem, Yu Chen smiled indifferently. His hands changed, and small seal scripts appeared in the places where he just settled.
‘Tao Water – Touching the Earth to give birth to the Talisman!’
Yu Chen gave his own name in his heart. To put it bluntly, it was actually to use the talisman water to give him the drawing of talismans in the void, and after forging the soul, he could activate the characteristics of hundreds of talismans around the soul at will, and plant a talisman species at the place where he landed.
The aura of these talismans is very weak, and the energy stored inside is also very thin. In addition, it is dissipating every moment, so it can only exist as a guide. If the crow totem is also repairing and calling the alarm and predicting such authority may be discovered, but since the other party is a bird of death, then...
"The heaven and earth are natural, the foul air is dispersed, the mysterious and faint in the cave, and the bright Taiyuan is shining..."
The talismans turned into seal script and rose to their glory. Not far away, a breath in the Yuchen Taoist temple was activated, and along the dark connection, a temporary Taoist temple was opened up within the territory of the Crow Totem.
The brilliance of the Qingsheng made the incarnation of the Crow Totem very uncomfortable, and it also affected its connection with the body. It couldn't help but wave its wings and rolled up the cold winds that carried unknown and death breaths, leaving cracks on the Qingqu.
Moreover, in the surrounding land, the power of the crow totem continues to gather inward.
The seal script of the talismans turned into broken, and the temporary temple built by the seal script was also constantly shaking. Straws of black air rose from the clear gap of the temple, turning into crows' claws, grabbing towards Yuchen's ankles.
‘Have you tried your best?’ Yu Chen smiled. As the former big snake witch, how could he not study the power of totem? With an in-depth understanding, Yu Chen also gained a deep understanding of the source of totem power.
The initial totem basically exists by the power of will, and the power covers only the base of the tribe and the activity venues on weekdays, which can expand outward by several hundred meters at most. It will not be until the totem possesses the characteristics of the earth god that it will undergo rapid strengthening. At this time, the power contained in the totems is the power of this land and the belief of the creatures.
However, because it only possesses the characteristics of the Earth God, not the real Earth God, most of the time, the totem will store more than half of its power in the earth and mobilize it when needed.
At this moment, the one who broke through the temporary dojo was the power that the Crow Totem had stored in the earth on a daily basis. Under the guidance of the incarnation, these forces continued to attack Yu Chen, preparing to kill him completely.
Yu Chen jumped, broke free from the shackles of the black air, swung his long sleeves, and whispered: "The Xuanzong of Heaven and Earth, the foundation of all Qi. Broad Cultivation..."
‘Golden Light-Xin Blade Curse!’
In the sea of consciousness, the Golden Light Curse and the Xin Blade Curse were lit one after another, mainly the Golden Light Curse and supplemented by the Xin Blade Curse. A series of sharp blades containing the power of the Golden Light Curse flew out from Yu Chen's sleeve and quickly chopped towards the Crow Totem.
"Ga!" A chirping sounded, and black aura filled with unknown aura emerged from the crow totem, like a layer of curtains, floating in front of him, blocking golden blades.
"Xin is Yin metal, Yin is soft and easy to accept! You lost!"
Yu Chen landed on the ground, and the golden light surrounded his body, blocking the black air that spread. Looking up, two golden lights blocked by the black curtain suddenly broke through the defense. One turned into a fire snake to burn the black air around the crow totem, and a small white snake rushed out from inside, piercing through the eyes of the crow totem's eyebrows.
"Sure enough! The spirituality of the bird of death is not very good! Moreover, the brain doesn't seem to be very good." After turning his palm, the green light mirror started and gently shook the crow totem that was constantly disintegrating and trying to reorganize.
The green spirit treasure light fell, the black air dissipated, and turned into a gorgeous crow feather and fell.
Yu Chen stretched out his hand and a snake shadow flew out, biting the crow feather and falling down, entrenching on Yu Chen's wrist, allowing him to observe the crow feather.
‘The quality was better than the last time, it should be the feathers at the time of death!’ He casually outlined a few seal scripts and sealed the spiritual seals in the crow feathers. Yuchen returned to the temple for a while and cleared the excess breath in the temple, and then carried the breath of the wolf totem to the other side of the temple.
