Chapter 330: Repairing the Temple, Yaksha Has Spirits

"Conquer the devil!"

Jiang Yi drew out the Four Winds Rock Slasher, and with his pen moving like a dragon, he carved the Demon-Subduing Seal on the two stones.

Although it was carved with sword intent, it is not as good as the real Demon Subduing Seal which was carved with immortal power to form a golden talisman, but this seal has a grim aura and can scare away the surrounding monsters and prevent them from disturbing it.

Stones are placed around the temple to connect the earth veins, and stone formations are used to connect the principles of Yin and Yang and the Eight Trigrams.

Chongyun also provided some peach wood talismans to ward off evil spirits, which were hung on the surrounding trees with red strings.

"These talismans are used to protect the Yaksha statue from damage and should not be abused!" Jiang Yi gave Wang Ping'an a stack of ordinary talismans.

The Bronze Sparrow statue is of utmost importance. If it is damaged, the soul of the Bronze Sparrow will soon dissipate.

"I understand, Master!" Wang Ping'an had seen many of Jiang Yi's miraculous skills and had already determined that Jiang Yi was half an immortal.

"I will go to Liyue Harbor right away to find workers and use all my savings to repair this temple."

Jiang Yi nodded: "I'll stay here for a few days, you go and make the arrangements."

Wang Pingan left quickly. He needed to find a master to design the temple first, and then find a construction team. He might also need to report to the General Affairs Department.

Building this temple is a huge undertaking, and the purchase and transportation of materials cannot be hidden from the General Affairs Department. It would be better to queue up and fill in the information in advance before the other party comes to the door.

"Liyue has existed for thousands of years, and there are countless ancient sites in the mountains. I don't know how many Yakshas and immortals' souls have died silently. If Master Jiang Yi hadn't brought us here today, we would not have had the chance to witness this scene." Chongyun made up his mind, "As a Taoist priest in the world of exorcism, in addition to slaying demons and monsters, it is also our job to record the history of the immortals."

"I want to go for a walk in the mountains and see if there are any other small temples like this."

Xingqiu also echoed, "I have the same idea. My family is from the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce. I will persuade my father to take the lead in contacting the various chambers of commerce and organize a fundraising campaign for the repair of the mountain temple."

"Recruit temple priests and manage the temple."

He had already thought it through. Merchants value profit and fame, and building a temple is also a way to gain fame. With a little manipulation, he should be able to get the Liyue Harbor Chamber of Commerce to contribute manpower.

"Then we'll say goodbye again!" Jiang Yi bowed to Chongyun and Xingqiu.

Chongyun and Xingqiu left together to find the ancient temple in the mountains.

"Ying, Paimeng, what are your plans next?" Jiang Yi decided to chat with Tongque here, practice some magic, and wait for the temple construction to get on track.

"Let's go look for treasures around here!" Paimon smiled, "I saw fairies nearby, and there's also a Hill Chopper treasure chest."

"Take the commission and earn some money." Ying sighed.

Because of the greedy Paimon, she is running low on money, so it’s time for her to go on an adventure and try to find treasure.

Otherwise, there won’t be enough money for the trip to the next country.

"Okay! If you have time, you can use the teleportation anchor to go to Mondstadt and cut down some frozen trees. I'm planning to study how to use herbs to enhance the effectiveness of the facial mask. After the research is successful, we can probably sell the facial mask for money." Jiang Yi told Ying about this plan that had been shelved for a long time.

"I thought you gave up?" Paimeng spread her hands. If Jiang Yi hadn't said it, she would have forgotten about it.

Jiang Yi was embarrassed: "Haven't you always had no time?"

"Okay!" Ying agreed immediately after hearing about making money. "It's just a frozen tree. It won't grow as fast as we cut it down! Maybe you should improve the raw materials of the mask and consider using ice to make flowers?"

"That makes sense!" Jiang Yi pondered.

"No! I have an outdoor cave. Can I use alchemy to cultivate a superior plant with mask effects, use chemicals to catalyze its growth, and harvest it in rows?"

"The Dongtian Medicine Garden planting method seems to be my path."

After bidding farewell to Ying and Paimeng, Jiang Yi sat in front of the temple and listened to Tongque's instructions on his magic.

Different realms and different immortals will have different understandings of the same immortal art.

Most of the immortals in Jueyunjian are good at refining elixirs, drawing talismans, opening up caves, and making magic weapons. They have a deep understanding of the principles of heaven and earth and like to talk about the principles of immortal arts and the process of creation.

They can change the steps of performing magic at will.

However, some people like Yakshas only know how to use magic but don't know how to modify it. The more complicated the magic is, the more meticulous the steps have to be.

But when it comes to using simple magic to kill monsters, they are stronger than the immortals in Jueyunjian.

……

While Jiang Yi was practicing immortal arts, Xiao came to a place that was difficult for mortals to know.

This area can be called the Tomb of Immortals.

The bodies of the immortals are buried in the immortal tombs.

Even some of the corpses of the Yakshas inside can be said to be suppressed and sealed here because they are contaminated by karma and resentment of demons.

Xiao sat down in front of four tombstones.

Today, when he met Tongque Yaksha, he couldn't help but think of his four former colleagues, or brothers and sisters.

He had this idea when Paimon mentioned the story of "Records of the Guardian Yakshas".

"Floating House."

"Yingda."

"It's difficult to cut down."

"Mi Angry."

Xiao scanned the tombstones. There were four tombs, but only three of them contained corpses.

Moreover, because they went too late on the day of collecting the body, they did not find the soul or the spirit.

Xiao felt that, perhaps due to the disappearance of their will and the backlash of their karma, their souls had dispersed, but their spirits... should still have the possibility of existing, continuing their contract with the Emperor in this corner of Liyue.

After all, Yakshas are not human and can also be considered elemental monsters. Elemental creatures are born from elements, elements are indestructible and immortal, their will disappears but their spirit remains and returns to heaven and earth.

Dead, yet existing.

Although he had been slaying demons and monsters for thousands of years, he had never encountered a spirit that he felt close to.

Xiao looked at the first tombstone.

This is the missing yaksha in the story of the "Five Yakshas" in folk legends, and the only yaksha whose body was not found.

His...big brother!

"Floating House!"

Xiao closed his eyes and seemed to fall asleep. Sadness appeared at the corner of his mouth, then a smile appeared, and finally he woke up in shock.

He sat for a long time as the beautiful and horrific memories faded from his mind.

Xiao stood up. He wanted to look through ancient books, ask the immortals, and look for clues about "Fushe" again.

……

"I'm sorry to trouble you to meditate with me in this desolate mountain!" Tongque's voice came from the statue.

Now, he has to receive incense every day to survive.

Therefore, Jiang Yi had to guard Tongque until Wang Ping'an came back.

Jiang Yi's identity and powerful spiritual will make his blessing for Tongque better than that of many mortals.

If Jiang Yi were not there, thousands of people would have to burn incense to Tongque every month to maintain Tongque's now rootless soul.

"Ice mist flowers are very good for stabilizing the soul, and the nourishing incense used by the immortals to practice immortal arts can also nourish you. Senior Tongque, please keep your mouth shut and don't show up. Wait for the day when the incense is at its peak, and then go out of the temple to play at night!"

Jiang Yi has also felt Tongque's dedicated guidance these days. It seems that he taught him the killing skills learned during the Demon War in order to make up for it and express his gratitude, as well as for the sake of inheritance.

Knowing that Jiang Yi practiced the magic art of "Moving Mountains", he gave him some key points. Knowing that Jiang Yi practiced the magic art of "Ling Ling", he asked Jiang Yi to feel the spirits of the two armored Yakshas holding spears nearby.

The Lu Ling is a guardian. If a Yaksha dies, he can actually become a Lu Ling to protect those who practice immortal arts.

"Are you finally back?" Jiang Yi heard a lot of footsteps and looked up.

Wang Ping'an came up the mountain road with two Qianyan soldiers and a transport team.
