Gu Yu sat beneath an old yet still verdant cypress tree, practicing the Shadow-switching Technique.
This occult technique was most obscure. The actual manual was filled with descriptions written in ancient Shamanic words and Xiaozhai had to translate it first before they could study them together. They had barely made sense of the texts as a whole.
In spite of its various branches, all Shamanic followers shared a common belief, which was the spirit, or "Teng" in ancient Shamanic terms. They believed that all things had its Teng and humans were the composite of the physical body and Teng. In plain words, this occult skill was a method to switch back and forth between the actual substance and Teng.
Essentially, Teng was an intangible concept. In order to switch into multiple forms, one had to depend on how well they mastered their skills.
