Forced to Zhongnan Chapter 75 Demon King Demonstration
In the journey of cultivating immortals, in addition to majoring in exercises and spells, there are also many auxiliary miscellaneous subjects that need to be learned.
Only the innate magic weapon needs to identify its owner, and a set of rituals must be performed to strengthen the spiritual connection with the magic weapon.
From a certain level, once an artifact is called a "magic weapon", it has a "temperament" and a "life" and cannot be treated as a dead object like an ordinary sword.
The monks need to understand the characteristics of the magic weapon after recognizing its owner, so that they can resonate with the magic weapon, cooperate with each other tacitly, and achieve the effect of sending and receiving from the heart.
The integration between people and magical instruments takes time. As the monk's magical power increases, his ability to control the magical instruments will also be improved accordingly.
Some magical instruments can even produce simple autonomous consciousness due to the special materials used.
Of course, what cultivators cultivate is not objects, but themselves. The most important thing is to discover and make use of some special functions of the body, such as spiritual consciousness, vision, hearing, etc.
Spiritual consciousness is like a person's sixth sense, which can be actively released to observe the surrounding situation.
The strength of a monk's spiritual consciousness is directly proportional to his level and the strength of his magic power. As the monk's level increases, his spiritual consciousness can completely replace the ears and eyes, and the radiation distance is farther and things become more detailed.
Increasing hearing and vision and using blindfolds are some tips for using magic power, which are not difficult in themselves.
Li Zhen taught him for two hours in Yanyun Cave. Yanyun understood everything at once and put it into practice on the spot, and he benefited a lot.
Two hours later, Li Zhen had nothing to say, because Yan Yun had just begun to master the five arts of mountains, medicine, fortune, fortune telling, and divination.
Li Zhen suggested that Yan Yun should take "mountain" as his foundation and practice medicine and divination at the same time.
There is no need to elaborate on the term "mountain".
One of the skills of "medicine" includes recognizing medicine, five elements, yin and yang, etc., including profound dialectical methods. In addition to curing injuries and illnesses, it can even extract elixirs that increase mana or break through bottlenecks, which are helpful for spiritual practice.
The operation of "divination" is very simple. According to the hexagram, change the hexagram, time and position, etc. to predict good or bad luck and predict the enemy's opportunities. But the most powerful part of "divination" is not here, but to understand the way of heaven and appreciate the virtue of earth.
Awareness of oneself. When reaching a certain level, divination is usually no longer required. Instead, through the "seventh sense" generated, such as dreams, the situations presented in dreams can be used to provide guidance for real-life behavior, and can even achieve breakthroughs in space and time, and even insight.
The realm of heaven and earth!
Of course, Li Zhen was still young and did not have a deep understanding of the laws of heaven and earth, so he could not provide Yan Yun with any good guidance on the art of "divination".
She suggested to Yan Yun that if he wanted to know more about divination, he could take the time to consult Yu Zhenzi.
Regarding the realm of immortal cultivators, Li Zhen only knew three levels, namely Qi Condensation, Lingtai, and Yuan Gathering. She didn't know what else was there after that. Master Yu Zhenzi was a Lingtai realm monk.
"Junior brother, your understanding is extremely high. No wonder you are favored by Master. I hope you will continue to work hard and strive to catch up among my disciples!" Li Zhen finished speaking with a smile, then blushed, showing a bit of worry, "It's just,
Junior brother, that magical weapon uses the dead souls of human beings as a weapon. It is too harmful to the harmony of heaven and earth. It will inevitably lead to vicious paranoia. It may not be beneficial to you. Use it as little as possible. It is best not to use it... If Master knows about it, I'm afraid
do not like……"
Yan Yun was stunned and said in surprise: "Senior sister said that Master prefers me?"
"Well, our senior brothers all think so..." Seeing Yan Yun's unnatural expression, Li Zhen smiled and said, "Junior brother, don't worry, we are not jealous of you, we are just envious of you."
"No... why does Senior Sister think that Master prefers me?"
"Does that need to be said? When you were being treated, you lived in Master's courtyard. Before you left, you were given three talismans. We have never had this kind of treatment..."
"Is that talisman valuable?"
"One piece costs ten spiritual stones. Do you think it's expensive?"
"What is a spiritual stone?"
"It is a specific gem that contains spiritual energy and can be traded. It has the same purpose as money in the world, and can also assist in spiritual practice."
"If this is really the case, junior brother feels quite ashamed that he has received such benefits despite having done nothing for his sect."
"Don't say that. Master must have his reasons for doing this."
"Senior sister, what is the nine-character mantra that can emit golden light?"
"It's called the True Word Talisman. Have you seen it before, junior brother?" Li Zhen opened her eyes wide and said in surprise, "That rare one is rarely sold even in Lianyun Village. One hundred spiritual stones!"
"So expensive?" Although Yan Yun doesn't know what this spiritual stone is, the three talismans of "strength", "speed" and "light body" that can bring him great help only cost ten spiritual stones. One talisman of this motto
It is worth ten times the value of these three things, so it is a very precious thing.
"Of course it's expensive. This talisman has autonomous consciousness. When the holder is in danger, it can activate it on its own. Isn't it expensive?"
When Li Zhen talked about this talisman, her face was full of excitement.
Yan Yun understood that when he first met the eunuch holding the Netherworld Soul Flag that day, the dazzling long strip of runes that appeared from the brocade bag was undoubtedly the motto rune that was activated independently.
In this way, Yu Zhenzi is not only partial to Yan Yun, but doting on him!
Yan Yun really didn't dare to let Li Zhen and others know about this matter, otherwise, these senior brothers would inevitably have opinions about Yu Zhenzi.
"Where is Lianyun Village?" Yan Yun changed the topic.
"A good place is...well..." Li Zhen hesitated, "Junior brother, it's better to ask for good luck. He and Master have been there more often and know more about it than I do."
"OK."
Li Zhen taught Yan Yun for two hours this time. Before leaving, he magically took out a handful of yarrow for divination from a bag he carried with him and gave it to him.
This kit was hanging on Li Zhen's belt. It might be a space-type magic weapon with the same storage function as the Netherworld Soul Flag. Although Yan Yun was a little curious about this kit, he didn't ask much.
As soon as Li Zhen left, Yan Yun put down the evil-slaying gun in his hand and turned around to leave the cave.
Although the Evil Punishing Spear has recognized its owner, Yan Yun's magic power is low and he cannot make it change in size, let alone incorporate it into his Dantian.
He stood on the big rock outside the cave and began to practice the power of ears and eyes repeatedly according to the method taught by Li Zhen. When his ears were opened, he could hear the sound of stupid insects tearing leaves. When his eyesight was opened, he could clearly see the ants five feet away.
.
The most amazing thing is the spiritual consciousness. With eyes closed, you can perceive the general appearance of about ten feet around you. However, due to the shortage of magic power and relatively unfamiliarity, you lack a correct judgment on the specific composition of the scenery.
The observation of spiritual and non-spiritual places by spiritual consciousness is particularly special. For example, in one's own cave, sporadic golden light seems to be swimming in the air, flashing and flickering. This phenomenon does not exist in non-spiritual places.
While Yan Yun was practicing over and over again, as far as his eyes could see, he saw a clump of tea leaves growing on the spiritual ground. He immediately became happy and ran quickly.
Probably due to their living habits, several of Xiao Zhongnan's senior brothers, including Master Yu Zhenzi, don't seem to have the habit of drinking tea. It may also be that they have already gone away from grains and have no need for this.
This tea tree is quite old. Although the tree is short, it grows very strong. The new green it glows in spring makes the tea buds as green and smooth as green glass.
At that time, the tea in General Wuwei's Mansion was purchased from Nanman through merchants. Yan Yun also liked drinking tea, so he even asked about the method of making tea.
He lifted up a corner of his robe and transformed into a tea picker.
Finally, he simply took off his clothes and looked for the tea trees growing scattered around his cave. He collected a large pile, rubbed it briefly, and placed it on the stone bed of the cave to dry in the shade.
He thought that the next time his senior brothers came to visit, they could make tea and entertain them instead of just sitting there dryly.
But when he looked around his cave, he found that it was too clean. It could be said that the house was surrounded by walls and he couldn't even find a teapot.
Just when he wanted to go look for some senior brothers, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten something. After thinking about it, he communicated with the Nether Soul Flag with his mind and saw a scene in the space.
At this time, the new ghost king in the soul flag has emerged from the mist. Although his appearance is terrifying and ugly, he seems to be smiling and in a happy mood.
It sensed Yan Yun's mind, and suddenly showed a look of surprise. A trace of red light appeared in its red eyes, and it smacked its big mouth, as if it was savoring some sweet aftertaste.
One of its sharp claws stretched out from the mist. The claws were like eagle claws, but thicker and the scales were harder. The end of the nail was pinching a dead soul.
It is the soul of Li Ao!
Compared with the souls of ordinary people, monks are larger and look much more solid.
At this moment, Li Ao's soul changed from its previous arrogance, like a little sheep, and showed full flattery to the Ghost King.
Li Ao's soul also noticed Yan Yun's mind and looked in his direction. His eyes were calm and expressionless. He had obviously been tamed by the Ghost King.
The look shown by Li Ao made Yan Yun wary.
Did the Ghost King gain great benefits by taming Li Ao's soul? Otherwise, it is difficult to explain the eagerness shown by the Ghost King when Yan Yun and Ji Zhao competed.
No wonder the Ghost King cares so much about good omens!
The Ghost King and Yan Yun are connected through the medium of the Soul Flag, and what Yan Yun is thinking can also be perceived by the Ghost King.
It faced the "window" of the soul flag and grinned broadly at Yan Yun, probably indicating that Yan Yun had guessed correctly.
It looked like this, which made Yan Yun very unhappy. He had to wonder whether the Ghost King he had inadvertently created and the dead souls Hao had captured should be considered his own, or were they making wedding clothes for "others" like the Ghost King?
The Ghost King blinked his red eyes twice to show his innocence.
It is indeed innocent. Yan Yun's doubts and worries are ultimately due to his own incompetence and lack of understanding of the Soul Flag.
Now that Yan Yun figured out the reason for the ghost king's abnormal movement in the soul flag, he had no intention of continuing to communicate with the ghost king, and used his mind to take out the fist-sized package-shaped object stored in the soul flag space by Li Ao.
Just when Yan Yun was about to cut off his mental connection with the Soul Flag, he suddenly saw another dead soul placed in the other raised claw of the Ghost King.
"How dare you!" Yan Yun was furious, and blood was about to spurt out of his eyes!
This is the dead soul of Zoe, she is lying obediently in the palm of the ghost claw, motionless.
The Ghost King grinned silently again, and touched the illusory hair of Zoe's soul with his other sharp claw, and then let go, letting her wander with the other dead souls.
