[] The BM community is filled with people who were turned away by villages or have no where left to go, so WWX helps them and letās the people settle in BM.
People love him, even the Yiling residents, so if shady cultivators come to extort information about their laozu, well, who really feels like speaking today? No one.
[] The Wei disciples are called āGuidesā instead of āDemonic Cultivatorsā because technically they donāt cultivate with resentful energy.
Theyāve studied it so they know how it behaves, how it would react, and how to influence it.
A Guideās main duty is to reform a spiritās malicious intent before putting them to rest. They will take measures to change their resentment into something neutral, or if possible, tranquil.
It may be harder than normal exorcism, but it ensures that most spirits will end up in the reincarnation cycle without leaving any bubbling resentment in the world. Because what they do isnāt ācleansingā the energy out of the spirit, they convert it into something less malicious.
Any sect device or technique that would include you having to absorb any type of resentful energy in order for it to activate , has been modified by WWX.
Talismans? They absorb resentment from the surroundings instead of directly from a person.
Empathy? WWX invents a watered down version of it called āEspyā where it will possess a certain object instead of directly controlling the personās body. (empathy is rarely used by his disciples, heās only allowed it if the situation is dire or there are no other choices)
Basically speaking, WWX has totally baby-proofed everything.
[] The YilingWei Sect worship the HeiBai Wuchang and because of their continued efforts to reform evil spirits and send them into the reincarnation cycle, the HeiBai Wuchang has blessed them with long lives.
The HeiBai Wuchang are two deities that are tasked to escort the dead to the underworld. The Black Guard lead the evil while the White Guard soothed the good souls. They punish the wicked and bless the good. They are also worshipped for great fortune.
(Please keep in mind that I am not a native and my knowledge of chinese mythologies are only basic, I am not a reliable source for these things.)
[] Every resident of the BM hold a whistle, itās a small thing thatās colored in black with a single character written in red ink to match with chenqing and itās red tassel.
The whistle is multi-purposed. Originally WWX had crafted it as a means for keeping the residents from absorbing resentful energy(since at the time he hadnāt fully established a human-friendly area within the BM).
It was tuned to play a high note which was the key part of the song āCleansingā, all they had to do was blow on the whistle for a few hours everyday and they would be kept safe from resentment.
Then soon after it was also being used as a token for the barriers. The character inscribed in red ink is actually a small array that lets the holder be recognized by the barriers and be let in.
Wen Ning suggested that they should make some sort of code only they would understand, in case there is a situation where they cannot speak or cannot reach someone in time.
Theyāve made a small little tradition with their community where they play the whistle at night, just before they sleep. The sound that follows the first whistle sooths everyone, knowing that they arenāt alone.
Theyāve also made it some sort of ritual to play the whistle while sending off their disciples to night hunts, in a way that tells them āgood luckā
