Chapter 949: Moon-by-moon enlightenment and creation of skills

The Salt God had no hatred when he died, so he did not leave behind his own consciousness and turned into an evil spirit.

So, where is she now?

With the power of the Moon-Chasing Festival, Jiang Yi did not find any trace of the Salt God's consciousness.

"Maybe, I should wait a little longer!" Grandma Ping's words made Jiang Yi subconsciously try it in advance.

Taking back his power and consciousness, he silently felt the Salt God statue within his body and followed the crowd.

In front of the big rock.

Keqing, who had left earlier, was also there.

Seeing everyone coming, he smiled with a sense of coincidence.

"Everyone! I was just thinking of sending someone to invite you, and you came over."

After listening to her description, everyone realized that the boulder had changed.

The smooth boulder had cracks on two corners, which prompted Ningguang to consult her.

After all, she cared a lot about the stone.

“Although there are cracks, we still can’t tell what’s inside.” Keqing observed with her purple eyes, “Our swords and guns have no effect on it, so we can rule out the possibility that it was secretly damaged.”

"The crack was probably caused naturally," she speculated.

"But why did it crack?" Facing the puzzled questions from Ying, Paimeng and Xiangling, Grandma Ping did not keep them in suspense.

"This is because all kinds of folk things are the source of the Kitchen God's power. The heat from cooking, the joy of reunion..." Grandma Ping gave many examples.

He said with a smile that if everyone worked harder, the truth would be revealed.

The god in charge of eating likes these the most.

"...The stone cracked. Could it be because someone was cooking so hard?" Paimon touched his head.

"The statue will absorb power from the people... If the Kitchen God is in charge of fire and cooking... could it be that the hard work people put into cooking will be passed on to the Kitchen God statue?" Keqing also got the news that this was the Kitchen God statue.

Thinking of the theme of this year's Moon Festival, "Food and Mountains and Rivers", all the chefs who plan to participate in the competition have been making serious preparations these days... Paimeng's guess is not impossible.

In addition, the Moon Festival is close to the Lantern Festival, and the two reunion programs are almost connected. Many people go home to have reunion dinners, and it is very lively everywhere.

Xiangling and Paimeng made some guesses.

When there are more people, the festive atmosphere becomes stronger.

The stone can crack when Liyue is bustling. Does that mean the stone will explode completely when it gets busy to a certain extent?

Grandma Ping neither confirmed nor denied it, she just continued to smile and asked everyone to give it a try.

"Well, Jiang Yi?" Ying found Jiang Yi walking towards a woman who looked somewhat familiar.

"Long time no see, Miss Wanyan!" Jiang Yi looked at Miss Wanyan, a believer of the God of Salt, who was from the "Yinyuan Hall" who was in charge of the salt industry.

“Me… I’ve met you before…” Wan Yan became nervous and didn’t know how to address Jiang Yi. Should she call him the God of Salt?

But after hearing the news from Inazuma, her mind was full of doubts, which made her want to follow Jiang Yi to ask him. Today, the other party took the initiative to greet her, which was obviously a good opportunity.

"I want to ask, Lady Heulia..." She bit her lip, "That day, you all said that the Salt God had passed away and that the Salt God was weak, but I heard a piece of news from Inazuma."

"Once, a girl who looked like the Salt God appeared and blocked the attack of the Thunder God for you..." Wan Yan's eyes were filled with anticipation, "Is the Salt God still alive?"

Jiang Yi groaned for a moment: "The Salt God is in our hearts. With her gift, I hope she can live... but... this is not a realm that mortals can touch and understand."

He shook his head and looked at Wanyan.

"Don't expect too much from the Salt God's fighting power. I hope you can treat him as a god that is closely related to human life. After all, salt is indispensable."

"Don't have any inappropriate thoughts in this era."

"If you really want to serve the Salt Goddess, you are her believer."

Jiang Yi stretched out his hand.

Wan Yan did not avoid it, and watched Jiang Yi put his hand, which was as soft as jade, pure white, and extremely sacred, and touched a grain of salt crystal on her forehead.

"You were once believers blessed by the Salt God. I think she would be happy to see that you have been able to pass on your legacy and have a peaceful and disaster-free life in the new era."

"Even if you have made mistakes before!"

Jiang Yi's words made Wan Yan burst into tears instantly. He murdered a god, but the god was willing to die. He did not hate or curse. He was such a gentle god.

"I will give you a blessing for a peaceful life on her behalf, and I will also watch over you so that you don't make any mistakes." Jiang Yi said gently and solemnly, "If one day, Heulia..."

"Forget it!" He stopped and shook his head. "Miss Wanyan, we'll see each other again if we're lucky. Remember to have a good meal tonight."

"Wait..." Wan Yan stretched out her hand and watched Jiang Yi leave.

"Eat well..." She murmured, "Salt?"

As someone from the Eight Gates who was in charge of the salt industry, he naturally knew that the salt in the Chef King Contest had been replaced with salt provided by a mysterious person.

Ying saw Jiang Yi come back but didn't ask him what he and Wan Yan talked about.

"Keqing said that this Chef King Contest will adopt the format of indoor preliminaries and outdoor finals, and she hopes that everyone can come to watch the finals. She has already prepared." Ying said.

"Oh!" Jiang Yi nodded.

Just now, Keqing and Xiangling had already left.

"Then I should go!" Jiang Yi looked at the big rock, "I hope to come back from Jueyunjian just in time for the finals. After the finals, I can see the true face of the Kitchen God."

By the way, I can call upon you... Heulia.

After saying goodbye to Paimeng, who was mumbling that he hoped to wake up in time for the finals, and then to Grandma Ping, Jiang Yi stepped into the air and soon disappeared from Liyue Harbor.

Before turning down Yunjian, he went to take a look at the salt in the ground.

Sigh.

Arrived at Mount Ao Zang.

"It will take some time for Shen He to come out of retreat. Please don't disturb him. Just wait a few more days." In the mountains, True Lord Xue Yue Zhu Yang appeared and told Jiang Yi the news.

"The lonely star is in my heart, and the red rope binds my soul."

"The bound evil and murderous aura, as well as the imprisoned emotions of the people, cannot be released together!" True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang took Jiang Yi to Qingyunding.

Jiang Yi has helped Shen He regain his humanity, but human love and hate also affect the escape of evil and murderous intent.

This is the power of destiny, not a disease, so what is needed is to subdue it, not to eliminate or treat it.

"Don't talk to Shen He about Inazuma!" Zhenjun Xueyue Zhuyang reminded.

According to Shen He's personality, if he heard about the dangerous things that Jiang Yi encountered, he would probably break free from the red rope on the spot.

"I know!" Jiang Yi nodded. He could just endure the hardships outside by himself, and there was no need to spread the news everywhere, especially to his family.

"Okay, since you rejected Yunjian this time, what else are you going to do besides meeting us?" With the ability of divination, Master Xueyue Zhuyang had already vaguely sensed that Jiang Yi was going to be restless.

"Please tell me more about the various immortal techniques! And some of the origins of the immortal techniques!" Jiang Yi entered the cave of Zhenjun Xueyue Zhuyang.

"I want to imitate the original Moon-Chasing Festival, perform the immortal ceremonies, and seek the truth from heaven." His eyes were full of grace, "I want to create a practice method that belongs to me."

True Lord Xue Yue Zhu Yang stared at Jiang Yi for a long time before he took a step forward with all four hooves. The brown-red gilded antlers on his head glowed slightly.

"I will gather all the immortals and preach to you." He has already notified the immortals who are free.

Jiang Yi sat down and performed the etiquette as a disciple.

"Please tell me about the art of divination first..."

The way of divination, Tai Chi Bagua, Yi, the principle of everything, the basis of all things.

As a disciple of the Emperor, Zhenjun Xueyue Zhuyang has the most profound understanding of Taoism among the immortals.

True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang nodded slightly: "Today I will first talk about what the Emperor once taught me. I will repeat all those words and let you think about them yourself before talking to me."

Jiang Yi nodded.

There is no time in the mountains. After True Lord Xue Yue Zhu Yang came, True Lord Li Shui Die Shan came with other immortals.

Jiang Yi eagerly absorbed the different views on immortal arts from the immortals and turned them into his own accumulation.

Even a sentence I have heard before can now have a new meaning in my mind.

The moon turned into a full moon.

Jiang Yi held a bamboo slip and walked towards the "Fairy Residence in the Clouds".

On top of Qingyun Peak, in the highest pavilion, you can sit cross-legged facing the sea of ​​clouds and look up at the bright moon.

On this floating fairy island where all the mountains seem small, there are white clouds above and below, and it is difficult to distinguish between heaven and earth, I listen to the whistling wind and feel the rustling of my clothes.

In the past, when the master had made some progress in studying mechanical engineering, he built this "Fairy Residence in the Clouds" floating in the air.

To "borrow a floating life to escape the floating life".

Later, this place was requisitioned for the immortals to seek the truth and to carry out the "Heaven and Earth Cage of Life" activity.

"Nowadays……"

Jiang Yi smiled and hummed.

"I asked the ancient sages who sought the Tao, and the immortals who followed the moon, what is the Tao?"

“I ask the heavens and the earth, I ask the moon, I ask the sea, what is the Tao?”

"I ask all living beings, I ask all spirits, I ask myself, what is the Tao?"

The bright moon is embedded in the sky, like the eyes of heaven and earth. It follows the dazzling galaxy and watches the tiny people in the "Fairyland in the Clouds".

The sky and earth are vast, the clouds roll and unroll, and all energy flows.

The earth veins are surging, the elements are flourishing, and spiritual energy is rising.

The records of "Qi" in the Taoist Canon of Liyue Immortals gradually emerged in Jiang Yi's mind.

A starry sky rose above his body; that was the "false sky" within his body, a gorgeous galaxy where countless elemental stars gathered.

In the galaxy, the forces of cause and effect and fate are intertwined, the dazzling six stars of the Southern Dipper are rotating, and the laws of life and death are operating.

The life stars of many fictitious and acquainted holders of the Eye of God are arranged into different constellations.

Of course, the power of the stars is real and imaginary. Only Jiang Yi’s star, which understands the laws, has partial power.

The constellations are arranged according to the distance of each person from Jiang Yi. Now, the nearest constellation is Shen He's constellation.

There are ten big suns and twelve bright moons suspended in the sky.

Jiang Yi thought about it, and the Taixu Mirror Wheel appeared behind him, evolving into one real and unreal dream after another, transforming into the heavens.

Twenty-four sea pearls fell into it, and twenty pieces of heaven and earth, a real sea appeared.

He was looking at a dream, which was the divine realm opened up by the Salt God's Dharma image brought about by the Salt God's power.

Reach out and pull.

Jiang Yi pulled that divine realm into a bright moon, and then it was covered with white salt and turned into a salt moon.

Above the Salt Moon, the Salt Goddess girl, wearing ancient clothes, with a crystal clear body, long snow-white hair and bare feet, stands like a sculpture.

Jiang Yi pulled down again, using the Circular Light Mirror Technique.

He pulled out countless past news from the "Fairy Residence in the Clouds" and gathered them into the surging river of history.

Through the long river of history, watch the ancient sages' path to the truth, and listen to their voices in the pursuit of the truth.

There was a dark underworld under his feet, and a dark universe was born. Xiangliu opened eighteen pairs of eyes in it and looked at Jiang Yi.

The pitch-black Yinglong spread its wings, revealing the mystery of death and the law of destruction.

Jiang Yi looked at the scene he had created. The Five Mountains of the earth spread out from his body. Similarly, an extremely tall tree of the human body world, which supported the three realms and connected everything, rose from the ground.

The three realms are connected, and countless runes and ancient seals are like infinite rings, inlaid with each other, turning into a formation diagram of the Five Elements, Eight Trigrams, Nine Palaces, Lianshan Guizang, and Eight Gates Locking the Body.

The power that controlled his body, the laws, the three secrets of immortality, the principles of alchemy... everything was pulled before Jiang Yi's eyes.

When he was in Inazuma, he had already been thinking about creating a martial art. On the way back from the Southern Cross Fleet, he also meditated in seclusion and reread the immortal scriptures.

Now that he has returned to Jueyunjian, discussing Taoism with the immortals, the inspiration he brings is like sparks gathering together.

On Kunlun Mountain in the Ninth Heaven, the immortal soul of Yangshen sits in the Miluo Palace. The library in the palace contains countless knowledge stored in memory, forming tens of thousands of books, which are neatly arranged.

Now open them all.

The flesh body holds a bamboo slip, and the golden marrow is shining.

The immortal soul runs through all things in the body, including the heaven and earth.

The true dragon's aura rises up in it, changing all things.

"The Tao, when dispersed, becomes Qi, and when Qi gathers, it becomes... the Supreme!"

"There is a thing that is mixed and formed... The Tao is a thing, and within it there is essence and faith. ... It is independent and does not change, and it circulates without end. This is the innate Qi."

"The Tao is the most refined thing, it cannot be shaped or named. If we force a name for it, it is called... Taiyi."

Jiang Yi's body seemed to be merging into this external world, floating as if it was made entirely of Qi, like a cloud.

There seemed to be a sound echoing between heaven and earth.

"What is Tao?"
