Chapter 57: Demons and Evil Spirits, Greed, Anger, and Foolish Thoughts

"You're overthinking this matter,"

the old man said while drinking and eating meat. "Just like you mentioned encountering Chess Heralds, Advisors, Geomancy... In the past, there wasn't such a distinction. And all these Evil Techniques and Demon Arts, to put it bluntly, are all the same thing—demons and evil spirits!"

"As for where these things come from, you don't need to concern yourself, nor is it your place to study them. You just need to know they indeed exist. How did we, the Jianghu People, deal with these demons and evil spirits in the past? There were three methods. The first one is to cultivate your own martial arts skills, to practice Inner Cultivation with your True Qi, to establish your own domain, where if gods block you, kill the gods, if Buddha blocks you, kill the Buddha. You have nothing to fear from all this messy stuff."
