The atmosphere in the teaching building gradually became warmer. For the new disciples, everything was new, and there were too many doubts waiting to be answered.
Although Bai Liming also had a lot of questions that he wanted to consult, in order to keep a distance from Bian Wentao as much as possible, he did not take the initiative to ask questions, but listened quietly.
At this time, another disciple asked: "Master Bian, I would like to ask you, what kind of skills are practiced by casual cultivators, barbarians, monsters and even demons? How does it compare with our Taoist sect?"
"This is a very good question. Originally, this content will be covered in the next class. The main purpose is to let you know yourself and the enemy, so that you can better deal with monsters in the future."
Bian Wentao stroked his beard and said:
"Rogue cultivators also absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to practice, but because the skills they practice are too low-level, the golden elixir they condense is not pure, resulting in insufficient power of the spells they cast."
"This is like using the same paper, the same paint, under the guidance of a famous teacher, and the paintings made are lifelike and majestic. But if you follow a mediocre teacher, you can only copy a cat and paint a tiger, which is neither fish nor fowl. This also makes it difficult to improve the realm of casual cultivators, and
It is easy to lose one’s original intention and become an evil cultivator.”
"In addition to spiritual energy, the world is also filled with all kinds of energy, such as evil spirits. The Middle Earth where our human race lives is protected by the Beidou Demon Subduing Formation and has sufficient spiritual energy, while the four regions outside of Middle Earth are filled with
Filled with evil spirits."
"Barbarians mostly cultivate evil spirits to exert their magic power, often focusing on body training. However, there are also shamans who can use evil spirits to communicate with heaven and earth and perform witchcraft. However, evil spirits contain chaotic energy, which will affect people's psyche and cause them to be manic.
Bloodthirsty and cruel."
"The demon tribe uses itself as a furnace, and can refine spiritual energy and evil spirits to grow its demon body. The bigger the demon body is, the higher its magic power is. However, many demon tribes are not satisfied with slowly absorbing spiritual energy and evil spirits. Instead, they go to
They plunder the spiritual materials of heaven and earth, or devour the spiritual energy in the flesh and blood of humans, barbarians, and even fellow tribesmen to strengthen themselves, and the methods are cruel."
"What the demons practice is the power of the soul, and they even seize living souls to practice. This power of the soul can control the minds of living beings, pollute the Taoist heart of monks, and annihilate the spirituality of objects. It is extremely weird."
Regarding the power of the soul, Bai Liming had also consulted Elder Tian before, and what he said was exactly the same as Bian Wentao. When he heard about the strangeness of the power of the soul, he asked with concern about the power of the soul and the power of the divine soul.
difference.
Elder Tian seemed to have seen through what he was thinking, and laughed: "The power of the soul is obtained by refining the souls of others, while the power of the divine soul is obtained by cultivating the power of one's own soul. There is an essential difference between the two."
He collected his thoughts and continued to listen to Bian Wentao's sermon:
"There are also many casual cultivators who, in order to gain powerful power, have learned some basic skills of demons and refined and enslaved souls for use. These casual cultivators are called evil cultivators."
Hearing this, Baili Ming also sighed. Elder Tian said:
"Whether it is aura, evil spirit, or the power of the soul, it is just pure energy and has no attributes of good or evil. It is like a sharp blade that can kill people, but it is not the sharp blade that kills, but the person holding the sharp blade. Remember, practice
Indulging desire and power will only bring destruction, but restraining desire and power is the right path."
Bian Wentao continued:
"So, except for Taoist sects, the martial arts, casual cultivators, and barbarians are heresy, while the demon clan and demon clan are even more evil heretics. You must keep your Taoist heart and do not fall into the evil way."
All the disciples took a breath of cold air after hearing this, and they all felt lucky to be able to enter the Taoist sect and follow the right path.
After a brief silence, another disciple asked: "May I ask the Master, what are the differences between the spells that can be cast in the seven realms of Taoism?"
"I just said that the Five Elements spells are the basis. Whether it is talismans, magic arrays, alchemy, weapon refining, etc., they are all based on the principle of the harmony of yin and yang and the mutual restraint of the Five Elements. They are all used to refine the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and pursue
Although the paths to eternal life are different, they lead to the same destination."
“Let’s just talk about the differences between the seven realms of magic: the realm of enlightenment, yin and yang and the five elements; the realm of humility, where spiritual things turn into gods; the realm of ultimate truth, where the soul turns into form; the realm of perfection, where the dharma is in heaven and earth; the realm of merit, where all things are spiritual; and the realm of wisdom.
, Tao and law are unified; and when you reach the state of compassion, you can transcend the constraints of heaven and earth and change the rules of the Tao."
The disciples were dumbfounded and excited. After asking a few more questions, the morning class ended quietly.
Everyone in the teaching building was still thinking about what they had just learned, immersed in excitement.
In the days that followed, Bai Liming went to class and practice step by step. One day three months later, Yuan Jinsheng summoned him.
First, he checked his realm cultivation level, then nodded and said: "Now that your realm in the early stages of enlightenment has been stabilized, you can try to break the shackles of your brother's soul."
Bailiming was very excited when he heard this and hurriedly gave thanks.
Yuan Jinsheng waved his hand: "Write a letter to your family explaining this matter, and I will arrange for someone to pick up your brother to the South Pier Market Town."
Bai Liming nodded in agreement, then studied ink and picked up a pen to write a letter and handed it to Yuan Jinsheng.
Three days later, Bai Liming met his father and younger brother at the inn at South Pier. After some exchanges of greetings, his father Bai Lixing left the room at Yuan Jinsheng's signal and waited anxiously outside the door.
In the room, Yuan Jinsheng took out the bronze oil lamp, and the dim light shrouded Bai Liming and his younger brother Bai Liming. At this time, one of the two brothers was sitting cross-legged and meditating, and the other was lying calmly, but in the soul space, the two brothers were happy.
communicating.
Bai Liping kept grinning with a small mouth. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he leaned close to Bai Liming's ear and whispered: "Brother, I haven't noticed anyone coming to monitor me recently. What do you think Yuan
Did the first one discover anything?"
When Bai Liming heard this, he made a gesture of silence and whispered: "Yuan Chief is standing by. To be on the safe side, let's not share anything about him."
His younger brother Bailiping nodded quickly, and then looked around very vigilantly. He didn't notice anything strange around him, but he didn't dare to be careless.
Suddenly, there was a faint sound of thunder in the distant sky. If you listen carefully, it is Yuan Jinsheng's voice: "You two return to your place and start trying in a quarter of an hour."
The two brothers broke out in cold sweat after hearing this. Fortunately, they were cautious and did not communicate too much about Yuan Shouzuo. After calming down, Bailiping's figure disappeared like smoke and returned to the golden space.
With a thought in his mind, Baili Ming rose into the sky and flew towards the golden sun in the sky. He came to the outside of the golden space and stood quietly.
Faint thunder came again: "Use your soul to sense each other's position and run the Hanguang Sutra method. Your two brothers will aim at the same place and attack!"
As soon as the words fell, Bai Liming and Bai Liping raised their fists at the same time, and the silver light on their fists flashed, which was the embodiment of the power of the soul. The two of them took a few steps back, bowed and kicked their legs, as if they were stretching like a full moon.
The bow is strong, the arrow is on the string, and it is ready to go.
"One, two, three!" The two of them counted silently in their hearts at the same time, and the last word emerged in their hearts. Two figures were like arrows shooting out, one inside and one outside, one big and one small, a pair of fists, fierce
The blow hit the golden barrier.
Under the impact of the two huge forces, the golden barrier trembled slightly, and circles of ripples like water ripples rippled on the surface, slowly spreading outward, as if the truth was about to come out, but soon the water waves returned, and the golden barrier returned to its original state.
Although none of the attacks were successful, seeing the changes in the golden barrier, Bai Liming and his younger brother Bai Liping became very hopeful. They charged up their energy again, exploded again, and bombarded again.
After bombarding more than ten times in a row, the two of them were panting from exhaustion, but the golden barrier remained intact and intact.
Bai Liming did not give up. Just when he was about to gather his energy and attack again, he felt dizzy. It seemed that his energy was exhausted. In desperation, he withdrew from his brother's soul space.
Looking at the pale Bai Liming and the motionless Bai Liping lying on the bed, Yuan Jinsheng already understood that this attempt had failed.
He said solemnly: "Don't be discouraged. When your strength improves and reaches the middle stage of the state of enlightenment, you can try again. That's it for today."
Bai Liming nodded with some disappointment, and then chatted a little with his father about the situation at home. After a while, the two of them were silent. After all, Yuan Jinsheng was beside him and there were many things he couldn't say clearly.
With disappointment and hope, Bai Liming followed Yuan Jinsheng back to Kaiyang Palace.
Under the pressure of improving his realm and striving for success in his next attempt, Bai Liming did not dare to relax in his practice and worked even harder.
Time passes quietly in the boring and repetitive practice.
