Pawn Crossing the River

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 there were so many things to worry about, so he had to put Suzuka Gozen's problem aside for the time being, and began to focus on how to completely kill Tsuchimikado Tadaka.

If the problem cannot be solved, solve the person who raised the problem. It seems to be equally applicable here.

However, Qi Xuansu is quite self-aware, and it is difficult to achieve this with his level of cultivation in the free stage. In any case, the divine power exerted by Yueyeye Jianzun is at least at the level of a pseudo-immortal. The gap between the two sides is really too big.

Having said that, the priests of the shrine can descend from the gods, and Qi Xuansu can also call on the three great evil creatures to take action. If the realm is not enough, helpers will come to help.

It's just that this place is in a closed state and there is insufficient Yin Qi, so Qi Xuansu cannot communicate with the ghost country and the cave.

Qi Xuansu could only look at Xiao Yin beside him, thoughtfully.

Xiao Yin was a little confused by what he saw and couldn't help but ask: "What do you want to do?"

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

"You didn't get the benefit in the end?" Xiao Yin said confidently, "Do you want to burn the bridge? Don't forget, the head is still in my stomach. If you dare to break the contract, I will digest it immediately."

Qi Xuansu waved his hands and said, "That's not what I meant. What I want to say is that when you misled me, you created a lot of Yin Qi. Now can you create more Yin Qi? I would like to ask Mr. Yin to come over."

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

Qi Xuansu shook his head and said: "It has nothing to do with you, it's just that there is something weird here. Maybe only Mr. Yin, who is proficient in magic, can crack it."

While the two were talking, colorful lights appeared in the sky again.

Qi Xuansu sighed: "Looks like we have to wait until next time."

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

Qi Xuansu looked into the sky, and a bright moon quietly appeared, 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 more time and directly explained the situation to Xiao Yin.

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

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

"I understand." Xiao Yin no longer dwelled on the 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 it be done?"

??????????????? Xiao Yin said: "The reason why I was able to deceive you at that time was mainly because the Yin energy in Ise was too strong, and the time and place were favorable. I was more able to gather the Yin energy." gas,

I definitely can't do it on my own, but don't worry, we still have this. "

After saying that, Xiao Yin opened his mouth, put his hand into his throat and groped for a while, and then took out a head that was still bleeding.

Swallowing the boy's head with wine.

These are the heads of the three demon kings, and the Yin Qi they emit can even pass through the seal and turn into rain.

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

Soon, billowing Yin Qi escaped from the broken position of the neck of the head and the gaps between the seven orifices.

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

Qi Xuansu did not hesitate and directly started communicating with the Ghost Kingdom Cave Heaven.

The rolling Yin Qi is like a sea of ​​clouds and foggy mountains, rising and falling like the tide.

Countless black mist gathered towards Qi Xuansu like a whirlpool, and finally turned into a portal.

All I could see was the black mist billowing inside the door, which seemed to lead to the Nine Yin Netherworld.

An old man walked out of the door, looking like a teacher who had never been able to gain fame in his life.

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

Mr. Yin hugged little Yin and said, "Be careful not to splash blood on yourself."

Qi Xuansu bowed his hands and said, "I have met Mr. Yin."

Mr. Yin looked at Qi Xuansu, and immediately discovered something unusual here, and revealed the secret: "Are you in trouble?"

Qi Xuansu told Mr. Yin all his speculations.

After hearing this, Mr. Yin generally agreed with Qi Xuansu's guess, but did not panic: "Let's go and let me see the methods of this foreign god."

The three of them walked through the cave and met Tadaka Tsuchimikado wandering around again.

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

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

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

From beginning to end, Tsuchimikado Tadaka did not change anything, as if he had never existed.
