Chapter 38: Refining one’s heart and soul, and the Yin Shen comes out of one’s body
Yu Que looked up at the top of the fire chamber, not daring to move.
At this moment, he suddenly felt regret, feeling that he shouldn't have been so cruel.
If others saw this scene, they might think he had some unique hobby.
But they had already taken action, and Yu Que couldn't let himself go anymore. In this way, not only will the suffering be in vain, but this practice can also come to an end.
"According to Master Huang, when arranging lamps, some people will choose to directly strangle their necks, giving rise to a sense of suffocation, and they will either die or live, which is even more extreme.
Some people even practice spiritual practice and even peel off their own skin... Now I just pierce the tongue canopy and treat it as a tongue nail. ”
Thoughts surged in his mind, and then he endured the stinging pain, closed his eyes slightly, and recited the sacrificial inscription in a vague voice.
"How is it like a fire room with your head hung up? How can there be light if there is no fear? What is it like with your tongue facing the netherworld? How can there be perseverance without pain!"
After drinking several times, Yu Que thought he was used to the pain on his tongue, so he began to shake his head, as if a hanging rat was still twitching instinctively.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes suddenly, and a bright light emerged from his eyes. Wisps of gray energy also rushed into his face, and his pupils immediately dilated and turned into a pair of cat eyes.
In an instant, Yu Que was possessed by the family god and turned into a cat corpse.
After the cat corpse appeared, it was different from usual. It no longer obeyed Yucai's orders. Instead, it was stimulated by various stimuli, became irritable and restless, and looked at the rotten meat and viscera hanging around with saliva.
Yu Que even lost control of his physical body for a moment, and his consciousness was pushed aside.
This was because under the temptation of the altar and the sacrifices, the domestic god in his body became restless and temporarily occupied his physical body.
This situation is extremely dangerous. Although Yu Que will not be "seized", if the family god does not take care of his body, after the other party's possession ends, Yu Que himself will be disabled and seriously injured.
Fortunately, no matter how "Yu Que" howled, roared, or went crazy, the scientific ritual took effect and his tongue was still hanging from the top of the fire chamber.
His body was like a fish on a hook, unable to break free.
Yu Que watched this scene with his own consciousness, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
This scene was within his expectations, and it was also the first step in the ritual.
It’s just that no matter how good the rituals are written in the book, if you don’t actually do them, you will still worry about your own safety.
Fortunately, a mere piece of wire can tie up the body, and the irritable household god can do nothing.
Most of the tension in Yu Que's heart relaxed.
"With this iron wire, even if the ritual fails, there will be no fear of life."
He immediately stopped hesitating and silently visualized the "Huangshan Precious Pine Contemplation" given to him by the Alchemist Guild. A huge sacred pine immediately appeared in his mind, with its twisted branches and divine power. Ruyuan.
With the blessing of this visualization method, his consciousness squeezed back into his physical body.
In the fire room, Yu Que's low roar sounded: "Beast, why don't you surrender quickly?"
Xiao!
Cat calls and human calls filled his mouth.
After the two screamed for several breaths, they slowly calmed down, and Yu Que's eyes also changed, completely reappearing their human expressions. It was he who successfully suppressed the cat-faced family god again.
The next moment, with a solemn expression on his face, and with the gray air crawling on his head, he stood up suddenly and walked barefoot on the altar.
Cackling!
I saw him raising his head and using his chicken claw-like fingers to grab the rotten meat and viscera hanging on the wire, pretending to devour it.
This action once again made the domestic spirit in his body restless, and it came out directly from his body, transformed into a little ghost with a cat face and a human body, and squatted on Yu Que's head.
But Yu Que did not actually eat it, but pretended to eat it while dancing with a weird movement.
He crushed the meat into pieces with his hands and spread it down his throat and between his chest and abdomen.
"Heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys, fire, wood, earth, metal and water, take them quickly and refine them, and return to my immortal body!"
Yu Gonggao growled lowly, and rubbed a rotten heart on his left chest with his sword fingers, and then rubbed a rotten liver on his abdomen.
Proceeding in this order, he applied all the internal organs hanging on the wire to his chest like a poultice, including a portion of the pig brain, which was also painted on his forehead and cheeks like grease.
And his facial expression became more and more greedy and horrifying, as if he had eaten so many internal organs, and his evil aura was shocking.
The cat-faced house god squatting on Yu Que's head changed from being impatient at first to extremely excited, as if he had eaten those internal organs.
The gray energy in his divine body was also boiling, smoking and steaming, making Yu Que's whole body covered in steaming mist and ghostly aura.
That's right, the eating action Yu Que performed just now was actually to feed the cat-faced house god in his body, stimulating its ferocious nature with rotten meat and viscera as an appetizer.
After all, next, he was going to sacrifice a century-old ghost to the cat-faced family god.
If the ferocity of the cat-faced family god is too weak and he is accidentally defeated by the century-old ghost, then it will be a big deal.
Meow!
The shrill meow of a cat continued to echo in the fire room.
If this family god hadn't tried it just now but failed, it would have taken over Yu Que's body again at this moment.
Yu Que saw that it was in good condition, and his expression calmed down. He sat down cross-legged with the cat-faced family god in his arms, and took out a sealed porcelain altar next to it.
The porcelain altar looks like celadon, with spells twisted like snakes and insects drawn on it, and sealed tightly with yellow paper.
What is stored here is a century-old ghost that he carefully cultivated and selected using gray water.
Yu Que's face finally showed a trace of hesitation, but there was no hesitation in his hands.
He stretched out his fingers and took blood from the tip of his punctured tongue. He rolled his eyes, murmured something indistinctly, and used his fingers to draw talismans on the porcelain ashes altar.
As soon as the blood from the tip of his tongue fell on the surface of the porcelain altar, it turned black and dry, as if it had fallen on charcoal fire.
After Yu Que finished drawing a few talismans, his hand movements stopped, and then there was a crisp snap in the fire room again!
I saw him holding the porcelain altar of ashes and slapped himself on the forehead.
Waves of ashes and incense fell from the porcelain altar, landing on the altar and on his tongue.
The incense formed strange teeth marks on the surface of the altar.
Yu Que's originally rolling eyes suddenly changed suddenly, completely turning into pure white eyes, which were extremely penetrating.
His tongue also stretched out a lot in an instant, as long as a cow's tongue, which was not something ordinary people could stretch out.
The yin energy appeared on his body, making his whole temperament instantly become sinister, as if he was a different person.
"Hungry, hungry!"
I saw Yu Que staring with two white eyes, making noises, and showing a crazy and evil look on his face. He was indeed a different "person".
This was exactly when he smashed the urn, and the century-old ghost in the urn got into his body and became possessed!
If this situation happened to ordinary people, they would be looking for death, let alone a century-old ghost. Even though it is the weakest of the hundred-year-old ghosts, formed by hanging an old man, it is still full of yin energy and can suck up all the yang energy in a person's body in just a few mouthfuls.
However, Yu Que is not an ordinary person. He is an alchemist who has half-stepped into the threshold of the Immortal Family. At this moment, he is performing the rituals carefully. No action is required on his part.
A shrill meowing sound was heard in the fire room.
The cat-faced family god squatting over Yu Que's head suddenly turned into gray gas, and like a snake, it quickly penetrated into Yu Que's head.
Yu Que's head was shaking as a result, and his face often showed a ferocious look.
If there were no wires hanging him, he would have covered his head and immediately fell off the altar and rolled in the fire chamber.
At this moment, it was the cat-faced family god inside his head, fighting with each other for the remaining body of the century-old ghost who had just crawled in.
One ghost and one god, fighting between dragons and tigers, made Yu Que feel that his heavenly spirit cap was about to be overturned.
But it was precisely because of the battle between ghosts and gods that his consciousness returned again and he was able to control his body.
At this moment, Deng Yi has also reached an extremely critical moment.
Yu Que ignored the pain inside and outside his body. He raised his head and recited the mind-purifying mantra loudly:
"Tai Shang Tai Xing, constantly adapting to changes. Exorcise evil spirits and bind evil spirits, protect life and body. Wisdom is clear, and the mind is peaceful. The three souls are eternal, and the soul has no loss."
The sound of chanting resounded throughout the fire room and kept repeating it. No matter how evil the ghosts and gods in his mind were, he kept chanting.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
At this moment, the incense and paper money placed around by Yu Que also started to rise one after another without wind, like fallen leaves and snowflakes, circling and swaying in the fire room.
The incense paper money fell on the rat oil lamp on the wire, and it lit up, releasing wisps of incense, causing the pale green flame to flicker fiercely, burning more and more fiercely.
"Seven Corpses Retrospective Lamp" is completely ignited!
The next time is the time for Yu Que to suffer.
He needed to stay up for seven days and nights, and the corpse lamp in the fire room was not extinguished. He survived the "first seven", which meant he successfully completed the ritual.
With the blessing of the lamp instrument, his cat-faced family god will draw great benefits from the centuries-old hanged ghost, and his familiarity will be doubled, which will in turn affect his own soul.
It's just that for these seven days and nights, although he no longer needs to do anything, he can simply endure it.
But this stage is also the most difficult level in "Seven Corpses Returning to Light".
Because during the seven days, Yu Que could clearly feel that his life was gradually passing away. Even his breathing became lower and lower, almost stopping. Even his body temperature dropped, becoming more and more like a dead body.
This kind of suffering cannot be compared with piercing the tongue suddenly.
It will make people feel fearful and constantly doubt themselves.
Emotions such as surprise, worry, fear, laziness, etc. will be amplified several times and linger in Yu Que's mind, making him want to terminate the ritual at any time.
Huang Guishan had previously told Yu Que and suggested that if he really couldn't stand it anymore, he could choose to terminate.
After all, one of the advantages of the "Seven Corpses Retrospective Lamp" is that it has a proper termination method and will not leave any trouble after termination.
But at this moment, Yu Que, who was trapped in the lamp, felt a strong force coming up.
Not only did he not think about terminating the ritual, but he also despised himself for why he had written down the method of terminating the ritual before so that he could have a way out.
I saw him hunched over, looking crazy, and roaring:
"How can a mere dharma hinder my heart! When the light comes back, the seven corpses come back to life.
Practice! Practice! Practice! Practice for me! ”
In this way, he hung himself in the fire room, widened his eyes, and waited for the effects of the scientific ritual to appear little by little.
One day, two days, time passes.
After three days passed, the cruelty in Yu Que's heart had completely dissipated, and he could not even say harsh words.
His expression became dazed and his consciousness began to blur.
However, he persisted and kept chanting mantras.
The immortal way in this world itself contains great terror. Since he wants to gain immortality, how can he, Yu Que, not even be able to break through this barrier to entry!
Time continues to pass, the fourth, fifth, sixth...
Finally, the seventh day came, and the entire fire room was filled with gray gas, billowing unsteadily.
The cat's meow that echoed in the fire room has undergone a huge change, like the sound of a tiger and a leopard, containing the trembling sound of thunder.
Yu Que's complexion at this moment was already extremely withered, and he was as angry as a thread.
There was not a single thought in his mind at this moment. It was just the ritual methods that he had arranged in advance. They were moving on their own. His body and mind were like dead trees, motionless.
But at the end of the seventh day, a glimmer of light slowly appeared in Yu Que's mind.
His withered body suddenly sucked in the gray air in the fire chamber like a dead tree blooming in spring, and his skin became plump.
Then wisps of yellow light poured out from his head, and the silk ribbons formed the shape of a pine tree, shining brightly!
Yu Que's soul gradually awakened in this light.
Whoops!
As he breathed, a flame suddenly surged from the fire pit where he sat on the altar, covering his whole body.
As soon as this flame appeared, it swept away the gloomy and ghostly atmosphere in the entire fire room, and the filth was eliminated. The slightest bit of gloominess and horror in the seven days was no longer visible in the surroundings.
At the same time, two screams suddenly sounded in the fire room, one of which was the most shrill.
An old grimace suddenly popped out of Yu Que's mind, and he tried to avoid it.
But as soon as it got out of the remaining gaps and landed in the fire chamber, its grimace twisted, and it screamed in the steam of fire and disappeared into ashes, leaving only wisps of incense and resentment.
Although the beginning of the "Seven Corpses Returning Light Lamp" arranged by Yu Que this time is weird, it is a serious alchemy ritual.
Now that the rituals have been completed, it is natural to use real fire to burn the ghosts and eliminate the evil spirits, leaving no hidden dangers!
Even if the cat-faced family god hadn't been Yu Que's family general, no matter how much benefit it had just gained, it would have been burned to death by the raging fire in the fire room at this moment.
On the altar.
Yu Que's consciousness flashed, and he transformed into white light, slowly rising from the top of his head. He was sitting cross-legged on the yellow sapling, looking solemn, like a solemn little statue of a god.
This thing is his soul, and he has successfully left his body.
The yellow-light sapling he sat on was the sprout of the precious pine he meditated on day and night.
The two are intertwined and integrated, and Baosong will serve as the skeleton of his three souls and seven souls, maintaining his soul from being scattered together and becoming the body of Baosong Yin Shen.
Yu Que himself realized belatedly, slowly came back to his senses, and realized: "This is, the seven days have come."
As soon as his mind moved, he realized that the whole body was covered by yellow light for three feet. He didn't need his eyes or ears. The altar, the fire pit, his own muscles and bones, all appeared in his mind.
Every detail is visible, and dust can be detected, which is a wonder.
These wisps of yellow light were the spread of his spiritual consciousness.
A look of great joy appeared on Yu Que's face.
His ritual practice this time was a success at the first attempt, making him a member of the Immortal Family!
