Chapter 113 The Living True Spirit
The tentacles in his body trembled violently. Li Wuxiang took two deep breaths like a human being, asking them to slowly become calm and close.
Then he pinched Zhao Qi's face with a little force and asked him to look at him: "Zhao Qi, do you know what you are talking about now?"
At this time, Zhao Qi focused his attention on his face, moved his hand, and stepped back: "It's Taiyi! I saw it!"
"What kind? How do you know? You've never seen it!"
"Never seen it!? I've never seen so many Taiyi images in the world!?" Zhao Qi stared at him, "Where is this place? It's Lingshan! Do you understand that life comes from the heart? The one who came -"< br>
He suddenly lowered his voice: "...That one looks like Taiyi! You are what you look like in Lingshan! Do you understand?"
He shook his head again: "Master...Master...he really invited Taiyi to come, he really invited Taiyi to come, and he did it!"
"Shut up first. Also, what master? His name is Zhao Puppet!"
"Oh... that's right, Zhao Puppet! Zhao Puppet!" Zhao Qi gritted his teeth, "I really asked him to do it! Bah! That's useless!"
Li Wuxiang reached into his chest, took out the Shijieji Collection, and quickly turned to the back part.
In the past few days on the road, he mainly read the ones in the front that were related to his own practice, while the latter part was more profound and mysterious, and he hadn't had time to read it carefully.
He turned to the place he wanted to find according to his memory, and read it again carefully——
External evil. External evils mainly refer to the things that practitioners may invite onto their bodies when they make vows to the gods they worship and pray for blessings and protection during the process of practice. Most of them occur when the realm breaks through.
For example, a practitioner who worships Taiyi may suddenly see a bright light in front of him when he enters samadhi, and the appearance of Taiyi may appear, or he may hear a sacred and ethereal voice claiming to be Taiyi, and may even give him one or two magical powers. Generally, these Things are external evils.
They are basically spirits hidden in the spiritual mountains. They may be monsters with profound spiritual skills, they may be resentful ghosts, or they may be powerful ghosts and immortals who cultivated themselves a long time ago.
If practitioners really believe that they are righteous gods, then they will always provide help to practitioners, give them guidance, and grant them magical powers. But this thing is equivalent to a harmless inner demon in the early stage. As the cultivation becomes more advanced, the impact on the soul will become more and more powerful. Eventually, it will gradually take away the practitioner's own sanity and occupy the practitioner's body, thus calling these things Really come to the earthly world.
At this time, it is called external evil entering the body. Generally speaking, the temperament of practitioners who have external evil entering the body will change drastically. In fact, the change is not the temperament, but the body has been taken away.
Once the external evil comes to the world of the underworld, it will become a god in the world, display magical powers, and cause a bloody storm, which is a great disaster.
But this situation will only happen to practitioners outside the Seven Mysteries. Because the emperor worshiped by the practitioners of the seven sects is still alive, no spirit dares to impersonate him, and Taiyi and its associated gods have been suppressed, so the external evil has no fear.
However, the mention of "Tai Yi" is just an example. In fact, those who worship Tai Yi rarely invite external evil spirits. In the past three thousand years, this kind of thing has only happened four or five times. Most of the external evils are caused when worshiping the spiritual gods under Taiyi.
The above points are specifically stated in the Living Explanation Collection to be the consensus of practitioners all over the world. But then, the book mentioned another situation, which seems to be something that can only be determined by the Thirty-Six Sects, the Sword Sect and the Six Mysterious Sects, and is not known to ordinary casual cultivators——
There are a very small number of "external evil spirits" invited by monks who are actually righteous gods.
Donghuang Taiyi was suppressed, and the gods under him, such as the thirty-six gods such as the Kitchen God, the Door God, and the Immortal in the Well, were eliminated with the collapse of the Ye Dynasty three thousand years ago.
These gods had achieved enlightenment during their lifetime, and even if they died, their spirits still existed, scattered and wandering in the spiritual mountains. For example, Cheng Peixin invited the door god in Deyang before. In fact, what she invited was the wandering true spirit of the door god, which can be understood as the unconscious and supernatural spirit of the door god.
The "external evil" perceived by a very small number of practitioners is this "true spirit".
Such a true spirit is also not something that the mortal body can withstand. It will also invade the soul, but it is different from seizing the body and occupying the mind. The true spirit will merge with the practitioner's soul and become a "living god" with a unique temperament. ——It includes both the memory of the cultivator himself and the instinct contained in the true spirit.
According to the book, there are currently five people who can be confirmed to be the true spirits who have come to the world.
There are two real kings of Siming, namely the Kitchen God, one man and one woman respectively, who are called the Kitchen God and the Kitchen God. These two people lived in seclusion in the hinterland of the Central Continent, far away from the diocese and the Six Mysterious Sects, and kept their whereabouts secret.
One of them is the True Lord of the Five Directions, the Door God, in a male practitioner named Wei Gaoyang. This man has lived for more than nine hundred years, and the Five Directions True Monarch was transformed by He Tao Chengdao, the founder of the thirty-six sects of the Shangque Sect. Wei Gaoyang became the enshrined Supreme Sect Master in the Shangque Sect.
Similarly, there is a true king of Guiyin, the Immortal in the Well, who has lived for more than 400 years in the body of a female cultivator named Jin Zijiu. The founder of the Tianxin Sect became the Immortal in the Well after he became enlightened, and Jin Zijiu was enshrined as the Supreme Sect Leader by the Tianxin Sect.
The remaining one, Li Wuxiang, felt frightened when he saw those few lines - Jiang Jie, the leader of the Donghuang Taiyi Sect and commonly known as the leader of the Sword Sect... has the true spirit of Taiyi in his body!
Real or fake?
There are some explanations below this sentence. It is said that because the gods under Taiyi have been destroyed, the true spirits escape into the Lingshan Mountain. The Taiyi true spirit in Jiang Jie is different. It was a bit of the true spirit intentionally separated when Taiyi was suppressed. This true spirit contains the power of Taiyi and part of the human destiny, and is possessed by Jiang Jie to rescue him from trouble.
There is also a passage that seems to be quoted from Jiang Jie's own statement - saying that he was not a chosen person, but just happened to be possessed by the True Spirit of Taiyi, which enabled him to achieve what he is today. If the True Spirit of Taiyi had possessed him at the time, Others will certainly not be inferior to themselves.
Li Wuxiang put the Shijieji back into his chest and abdomen, and was stunned for a while, and then asked Zhao Qi: "What does the Taiyi you just saw look like?"
"I told you, it's the same as the statue of worship in the world! Haven't you seen it?"
Li Wuxiang thought for a while: "I have seen an image of Taiyi become a spirit. When it reaches Lingshan, doesn't that thing look like Taiyi?"
Zhao Qi sighed: "I really didn't teach you enough. A statue becomes a spirit, right? Then wouldn't it just be a statue when it reaches Lingshan Mountain? A dog becomes a spirit, and when it reaches Lingshan Mountain, it becomes a dog! What I saw is alive, It's a person! It's exactly like the statues and portraits in the world! Didn't you notice that they are all the same? Because they were all painted after Taiyi was not enlightened! The statue of Taiyi was not made casually!" Li Wuxiang stared at him for a while: "Do you really think so? The external evil in me is Taiyi, how dare you talk to me like this?”
"Then...then it may not come to you in the end." Zhao Qi lowered his eyes and looked at Li Wuxiang. It seemed that because of his two words, he suddenly became more respectful, "We have to wait until the external evil enters." The body...ah, Taiyi enters the body. No matter what, we have to wait until the practitioner has formed the elixir. You still have no idea whether he will survive or not and will get the elixir. At that time, it will not be too late to treat you respectfully."
Li Wuxiang sighed and sat down cross-legged.
Zhao Qi seemed not to know what Jian Zong said about Taiyi True Spirit.
Now I am in a bit of trouble with this matter. If what Zhao Qi saw was really Tai Yi, it means that either Jian Zong's statement is true, Tai Yi really separated a ray of true spirit before he was suppressed, and now he is here, and the one from Jiang Jie is Fake.
But this external evil in my body...according to the Shijie Concentration, these true spirits should be without consciousness. Then this one of mine... initially only had emotions, but now it allowed me to talk to myself in my heart. Is it because it was nourished by things like essence, sacrifices, and souls, so it gradually became sane?
If this is the case, wouldn't it be the same as those real external evil spirits? When this thing enters your body when you form the elixir, wouldn't it be a body snatching?
But if Jiang Jie’s one is true, then this one of mine is fake? If it is false, it is indeed in line with the description of the methods of external evil spirits in the World Explanation Collection... They are sane and can seize the body.
Zhao Qi said that whatever it looks like in Lingshan, that is what it is. But this guy didn't even figure out Ranshan's secret. Could it be that he was ignorant about this matter?
But there is another point that is puzzling. If it is an ordinary external evil, the purpose of seizing the body is nothing more than to appear holy and call God in the world, so as to make one's own practice easier. But this one seems to be rushing to join the Sword Sect.
The leader of the Sword Sect claims to have a true spirit in his body, and he also manifests himself as Taiyi... Does it want to call itself the leader?
A third possibility suddenly popped into Li Wuxiang's mind - Taiyi had indeed separated the true spirit, and this was it. He really wants to take on the body of a swordsman so that he can rescue me. But a powerful external evil ruined its affairs, and due to various complicated reasons, the real Taiyi Spirit could only lurk in secret, and then found his body through Zhao Puppet's ritual, and then planned to bring order to the chaos. .
Therefore, it has never really revealed its identity to itself, which seems very reasonable.
But this means that the leader of the Sword Sect is actually an external evil spirit. However, Zeng Jianqiu said that there are three sword immortals in the Sword Sect, and the other two, as well as so many people, would be a bit ridiculous if they couldn't tell.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Or...they actually know?
This thought made Li Wuxiang feel cold. The swordsmen all seem to be pretty good people. Although he doesn't think that a sect composed of a group of pretty good people is ideal and beautiful, he still doesn't want this idea to be true - then this world is really not bright at all. there is none left.
He sighed and asked Zhao Qi: "It's in Lingshan, right? Is there any way you can go and take a look at it?"
Zhao Qi raised his finger and pointed upward: "Below this layer of blood mist is the sea of blood. Above the blood mist is the upper sky. Within the upper sky, there are other heavens. It's not like there are no living people coming to Lingshan, some heavens The treasures of materials and earth can only be found here. Many sects will open the door to Lingshan to hunt for treasures, but they have not gotten the full picture. ”
"Perhaps some sects will mention similar things in their records about Lingshan and know where similar things are, but Ranshan does not. Aren't you a swordsman? You can ask the swordsman."
It is not mentioned in the World Explanation Collection, but it does say that some of the things used in forming pills and Yang Shen need to be found in the sea of blood in Lingshan. The detailed records Zhao Qi mentioned may be in "Youjiuyuan", and they are not available at this time.
"Actually, there is something else." Zhao Qi looked at him and blinked with a pair of bloody eyes, "What Zhao Puppet told me before, I just thought you might not want to know, so I didn't say it."
< br>
"What is it?"
"Think about it, you are a sect leader, and the sect often goes to Lingshan to search for treasures. Then, you may stay for a long time, and you must have a place to settle down. Don't think it's so easy for you to come to Lingshan, that's because you It’s not a human being. It’s almost as difficult for a living person to enter the Netherworld as it is to go to the Netherworld. After cultivating the Yangshen, the Yangshen can go.”
"But when you come to Lingshan, a living person comes in. You don't have much popularity, so it's okay. But when a real living person comes, isn't it just a big ball of energy and willpower? It's quite dangerous. So, you are The sect leader will definitely find a place in Lingshan. Ordinary sects have a presence in Lingshan, and we actually have one in Ranshan—"
He stopped here, as if he wanted to put it off.
Li Wuxiang nodded: "Ranshan Fantasy."
Zhao Qi was stunned: "Ah? Did Zhao Puppet tell you this too?"
"That's what I guessed. There is an independent world in the Xuanguang Mirror, and so is the illusion of Ranshan. Since you said that there is also one in Ranshan, I guess it couldn't have been created by Zhao Puppet himself."
"Okay, that's it anyway. What I mean is, in fact, I can help you find Taiyi, but with my current level of cultivation, if I leave this ancient cave, I might encounter some evil spirits, but it will be gone. . In the past, when Zhao Puppet was here, he still had some means. Those who are fighting for the ancient cave can still be driven away, otherwise I can escape myself. Now, I am not much better than the resentful ghost. The only difference is that I have only been here for a short time and have not transformed like them. If I encounter them, I can't escape. It’s troublesome for the ancient cave.”
"So, you and I, regardless of our past grievances, can be considered a life-long friendship, right? After all, we are just master and apprentice. In this Lingshan, you have no one you can trust except me. If you can think of something, Now that the illusion is finished, I can stay here and not be afraid of outsiders coming to rob me. I can do some good deeds as you said. Let’s go over the bad causes and consequences of the past. When I have some Taoism, I can not only help our disciples in Ranshan find some supplies, but also find ways to help you find Taiyi in the upper heaven. At that time, I will just be an elder. ——Our Ranshan should have an elder like other sects.”
"Oh, by the way, wouldn't it be better if you died accidentally? You must not be willing to reincarnate in the netherworld, right? Then come here, you have a place to stay, don't we become master and apprentice again? ! ”
Li Wuxiang nodded: "Your reason is very difficult for people to say no. So, if you unfold the illusion, you can come here?"
"Of course, some means are needed, but I don't know. But you have so many magical powers, it's not difficult to find out clearly. Those who can do more work."
Li Wuxiang sighed: "It's really tiring to be the leader of Ranshan Sect. Let's not talk about this anymore. I will be able to go to Tazi Town tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. That's where you will do your first ritual to pray to God, right? You have to think about it. What did you call yourself? ”
Zhao Qi looked at himself: "Blood God."
"It doesn't sound like a good person, but okay, what can you do now?"
"If someone is so frightened that they lose their soul, I can bring it back. It's not difficult to make the person sleep poorly at night and have nightmares. If there are lonely ghosts in the world of ghosts, as long as they are not evil ghosts, they are just haunting people. I can drive away those who want incense.”
Li Wuxiang poked his eyeball: "Okay. I'm leaving."
