Aleister stretched out his hand, and slowly grasped the girl's spirit body with his hands that had been wiped with Harmony Spirit Ointment.
As bursts of faint purple light reflected in the bottom of her pupils, the power of transcendence spread between Aleister's hands, gathering into clusters of glow, forming a faint nebula.
She carefully picked up the spirit body and placed it back on the girl's original body.
Aleister must be very careful - because her current power is too strong, even with the isolation of the Soul Harmony Ointment, it is difficult to completely avoid hurting her spirit body. And even so, her spirit body has also curled up.
...like grabbing a wad of plastic bags in a windy place.
When the spirit body almost overlapped with the physical body, it gradually spread out like soaked seaweed. However, it could never completely overlap with the physical body, and the boundary between the edges was always blurred.
"Give me a gold coin."
Aleister greeted the Mirror Demon: "Gold coins need to be used longer."
Now she no longer asked whether the Mirror Demon was still there - instead, she gave orders directly.
And the Mirror Demon is also very adaptable.
A golden light suddenly flashed in front of Aleister, accompanied by a low voice: "This is an ancient coin from the Herasl Empire period. It has been minted for six hundred years. If it is not enough, I can go elsewhere.
Look for it..."
"Ah, that's enough."
As he spoke, Aleister placed the gold coin on the young lady's forehead and tapped it lightly.
Immediately afterwards, Aleister stretched out her hand and pointed it into a knife, and cut it in four directions in the void. Then, she made the motion of dipping her fingertips in water and then spreading it, four times in a row, and flicked it on
On the girl's hands and feet.
This was supposed to be a gold coin struck with a silver nail as an anchor. A silver ceremonial knife that had been burnt by incense was used to cut a sacred space in the four directions that the soul could not invade. Then the fingers were dipped in the sanctified
Water or salt, to anchor the soul with its divine weight.
But for Aleister, whose rituals require no materials, she can perfectly complete most rituals directly using this method.
The principle of this material-free approach is that her own soul is a "universal material". Therefore, as long as she participates in the ritual as a ritual master, she can automatically meet most of the characteristics required for the ritual. Only rituals with higher levels can be satisfied.
, then additional symbols are needed to complete the similarity.
The essence of ritual is to satisfy the nature.
Because from the perspective of the dream world, everything complicated in the material world is nothingness. If you want to enter the dream world, you must exclude matter. And the information contained in matter is extremely complex...
From the perspective of a "hurting weapon", there is no difference between a pistol and a dagger; from the perspective of a "cutting object", the essence of a mirror and a dagger are the same; from the perspective of "premeditation"
From the perspective of "sin", a bottle of poison has the same meaning as a dagger.
Based on this principle, in fact, many rituals that originally require large scale, expensive and complex materials can obtain a simplest cost through constant "simplification calculations".
This is the essence of "ritual science".
The original ritual is a basic rule of equivalent exchange, exchanging things from the material world for things from the dream world. Through ritual science, the miracle of exchanging less for more can be achieved... and the supporter behind this miracle is...
He is the Snake Father who is one of the Pillar Gods.
With the signature of Snake Father, this "trick" that should not exist in theory has become an official "technology".
It is for this reason that the core transcendent skill of the Way of Transcendence is ritual.
To Honey Badger, all this seemed so inexplicable. However, the fluctuations of Tao energy in the air let her know that this ritual had already begun.
Aleister glanced at the honey badger and then explained:
"I first suppressed her soul with 'circulating wealth'.
"In some local legends, there is a saying that 'the souls of the deceased also need yin wealth'. The basis for this statement is that 'wealth' can have an impact on the soul itself. Because 'trading' is an act of balance,
The way of balance also includes the balance between the yin and yang worlds, so from a ritual perspective, the act of 'trading' can easily open up the balance between the yin and yang worlds.
"Demons already existed before the birth of demonologists. When people desire unbalanced power, they will attract demons because of their strong transcendent souls and sign a contract with them... This is also a kind of transaction. In the same way,
Some people also trade with the deceased. In various concepts of 'wealth', the longer it circulates, the more 'pressure' it has on wealth with a higher recognized value.
"Immediately afterwards, I purified her hands and feet with holy water and holy salt. I weakened her soul so that she could touch the sky and step on the earth... In this way, part of her spirit body was absorbed into my body.
"
"……ah?"
The honey badger was a little confused: "But when did you use holy water and holy salt..."
She obviously doesn't understand the rare path feature of freeing ritual materials.
Aleister knelt down next to the girl's ear and whispered, "Make a fist."
The next moment, the girl's fists suddenly clenched.
Although she still couldn't fully control her body, the feeling in her hands and feet had been restored. She could hear Aleister's voice and knew that she wanted to save herself, so she did it with all her strength without hesitation.
Clench your fist.
But it was difficult for her to completely clench her fists - it was as if she had been sleeping for a long time and her fists were weak. Her soul had been out of the body for too long. If she could return to her true body within a few seconds, she wouldn't even need to use wealth to do it.
Once the soul is calmed, it can be stuffed back directly. But once the temperature of the soul cools down, it will be difficult to sew it back again.
"Keep clenching, honey. Don't let go."
Aleister chuckled and threatened: "If you let go, you may never be able to go back?"
After hearing Aleister's words, a little sweat broke out on the girl's forehead.
Even though she couldn't hold her fist at all, she tried her best to make it.
And this process is actually Aleister trying to get her to concentrate - this is actually "actively integrating the soul with the body". In fact, it will be fine even if she loosens her fist, but Aleister operates like this
It's more convenient to get up.
Then, Aleister stretched out his finger again and tapped the gold coin lightly.
"The soul returns..."
Aleister whispered the Taichu language in his mouth.
This knock did not make any sound, but there was a solemn invisible wave spreading around.
"Soul, come back from the underworld..."
Aleister switched to Herasl again.
She tapped the gold coin for the second time, and the invisible fluctuation became more intense - it made the honey badger feel a faint soreness in its teeth and the bones in its body creaked.
"Souls of the dead, obey my call..."
Aleister once again switched to the soft and bouncing Elvish language.
She struck the gold coin for the third time, and a storm visible to the naked eye rolled up from the room - the pages in the room rattled, the windows suddenly opened and closed, and the ornaments in the box jumped spontaneously. But only the one who was struck by Ah at the beginning
Nothing happens in the small piece of sacred space Lester has carved out.
This is the spirit show phenomenon. It means that the nearby spirits have regained their activity and have regained their temporary consciousness from the eternal stagnation on the twilight road.
These three calls can be made in any language because they are just warm-ups.
The real resurrection requires the use of Parthian language - this is also the origin of the name of the Parthian Empire.
They master the techniques of resurrection and rest.
Suddenly, Aleister switched to Parthian and briefly transformed into the male form of Aiwass.
The first half of the resurrecting ceremony requires the use of the feminine body to guide the soul, and the second half requires the use of the masculine body to dispel the adverse effects of the dusk path on the body. Normally, this should be completed by at least two ritual priests, but for those who can do it anywhere
For Aleister, she could complete it alone.
She said slowly in the majestic, sunny and clear young voice of Aiwass in the form of the Pope:
"——I order you to return to the world."
As she spoke, she pressed the gold coin hard and then suddenly opened it.
In an instant——
As the girl clenched her fists completely, her eyes suddenly opened!
"This is the miracle of resurrection from the dead!"
When the honey badger saw this scene, his pupils shook.
