Sandori held the short staff of flowers and trees in one hand, and the other hand emitted a hazy and soft bright yellow light. The perception was accompanied by the bright yellow light spreading outward, forming a special detection effect.
Rosalian was lying next to her. When the bright yellow light shone on her body, she noticed something strange. There seemed to be heat flowing throughout her body, allowing herself to resonate with this bright yellow light.
"Sandori? What's going on?" Rosaleen asked subconsciously in her heart.
"Ms. Rosalin?" Sandori heard the other party's voice in her mind and said, "Are you able to communicate with others?"
Rosalian hadn't been paying much attention to her practice recently, so she shook her head and said, "It's not me. It was obviously you who did this. I'm still surprised."
Sandoli looked at the bright yellow light emanating from her hands. It had been several days since Xuan Weizi retreated. She practiced that strangely named skill and regained some soul spells, but they were different from the past.
In the previous spirit spells, Sandori's soul was connected with the totem spirit, thereby obtaining her own guardian spirit. By constantly combining the soul with the guardian spirit, she could slowly obtain some spirit spells.
The spirit guards of the spotted beast tribe are similar, except that they combine the guardian spirit with the body. Some spirit guards can obtain a small amount of spells, but they mostly rely on the guardian spirit to strengthen the body's strength and agility.
The previous guardian djinn was more like a branch of the totem djinn, connecting the totem guardian to the "backbone" of the djinn. The power of the totem guardian or the spirit messenger all came from the totem djinn.
The current situation is a bit special. Sandori did not take the initiative to contact any totem giant spirit. The soul spell was slowly restored according to past habits. However, the "giant vision" originally used to sense the soul of the deceased could not only detect
Measuring the soul and incorporeal body, it seems that you can also communicate spiritually with others.
"This is a good thing." Rosalian said after listening to Sandori's explanation: "I can't communicate with you these days, and I feel bored."
Sandori just nodded silently and said nothing more.
Rosalin noticed that the other party's mood seemed to have changed, and asked: "Sandori, do you still hate him?"
"I...I don't know." Sandori lowered her head and said, "I really don't know what to think. Maybe I'm too unstable. The hatred between the teacher and the tribe should not be let go. But I...
Lady Rosalin, weren't you also defeated by him? What do you think?"
"I'm not as confused as you." Rosaleen crossed her front paws and rested her chin on them, replying: "I am a beast after all, and I have long been used to admitting defeat when I can't beat you in the jungle.
It's like two stags fighting for a female deer. The one who can't beat him will of course run away. Is it possible that he has to fight to the death? Give up and run away before he is seriously injured. Maybe he can find another female deer when he turns around."
"But -" Sandori felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't explain why. Even though Rosalian was talking about the situation, she had witnessed it with her own eyes.
Suddenly, other information came from the detection spell. When Sandoli came outside the small castle, she saw a furry fox standing on the edge of the grass and did not dare to approach. Sandoli could see the strange aura emitting from the fox, so she put "
The giant spirit's eyes were focused on it.
In the blink of an eye, pieces of unfamiliar information poured into her mind. The terms "mage", "secret knight", and "joint forces to ambush" made Sandoli confused. But she was aware of the danger contained in it. She should
Tell Xuan Weizi about this quickly.
Sanduoli had just returned to the small castle when she saw Xuan Weizi had walked out of the stone room and was holding his sleeves in the atrium with a dull expression on his face, as if he was worried about something.
"Are you out?" Sandori said, "There was a fox outside just now, and it seemed that it came with news. It said..."
As soon as Xuan Weizi opened his eyes, he naturally understood the information entrusted to the fox. He frowned and said dissatisfied: "I have only been away for a few days, and so many bad things happened, and you still want to drag me down."
Going into the water?”
"What happened?" Rosaleen asked.
Xuan Weizi took advantage of the situation and launched a "telepathy" within a hundred-foot range. This is also his newly acquired ability. It is more convenient than a simple mental link and can maintain mental communication with multiple objects at the same time.
"A lot of new faces have come to Chaidui Town recently, first a sage from the Emerald Ring, and then an Imperial Arcane Guard who came to search for the ruins of the Holy Land." Xuan Weizi said: "The sage from the Emerald Ring actually came with
The sheriffs in the town have joined forces to eliminate the Ora Guards, and asked me for help. That fox is the animal sent by the Sage of the Emerald Ring to deliver the message... I mean, he can find it here."
Sanduoli didn't quite understand Xuan Weizi's attitude and asked: "Don't Chai Dui Town rely on you very much? You don't plan to go back?"
"I came back to seclusion just to avoid them." Xuan Weizi said angrily: "It's just a remote town with a lot of entanglements and grievances. I don't want to get involved. Now I actually want to attack the Imperial Legion.
The Officine Guards took action, and I was crazy to join them."
Sanduoli also roughly sorted out the situation and asked: "But didn't the Ora Guards come here for the ruins of the Holy Land? You have also been in there, aren't you afraid that they will occupy the ruins first?"
Xuan Weizi said: "I am somewhat curious about the ruins, but I am not willing to put myself on the opposite side of a powerful force just for the sake of the ruins. Those guys in Chaidui Town thought it was easy to kill a few mages, so they ignored it.
The bigger situation behind it...well, you reminded me."
"What?"
"It's okay, just some experimental ideas." Xuan Weizi looked at Sandori and said: "It seems that you have made some progress, but now you are just restoring your original soul spell. And I guess you have also discovered that you have restored
The soul spell will be different from the original one."
Sandori nodded and asked, "I was just going to ask what the reason was."
Xuan Weizi explained: "You have developed some supernatural abilities through practicing soul spells in the past, but what is more basic is the change in physical and mental state, forming a new soul structure. It is like kneading clay into a rough clay, even if you cast a spell
The ability faded for a while, but these formed 'mud' still remained."
This way of describing it was easy for Sandoli to understand, and she said, "In other words, the things carried in the clay have changed now?"
"It's just changed a little bit, very small." Xuan Weizi pointed out: "Don't forget, the 'soul refining and divine communication' I taught you still requires you to communicate with the giant spirits of nature. It is just to establish
A different way of communication than in the past. So the first thing to change is your physical and mental state. Just like the same water, it will have different shapes in different containers. Natural energy is structured in different forms and will show different magical effects. And you are now
The magnitude of the change is still very small, so the restored soul spell has only changed slightly."
"Oh..." Sanduoli was half-understood and confused, and then asked: "And the name of your skill is really weird. I can understand the first half of it. It probably means to pass some kind of skill."
The method changes the soul. Does the second half mean that I contact the gods? Is that the god of your colonists? Or is it another name for the natural giant? "
Xuan Weizi sighed inwardly. He could only say that neither the common language nor the indigenous language in this world could clearly and accurately express its meaning. Even if there are communication methods that transcend language such as proficiency in writing and spiritual communication, the cultural heritage behind the language still cannot be copied and appropriated.
.
Just like the word "god", Taoist monks have at least four explanations for it. Xuan Weizi had to take the trouble to explain it to Sanduoli——
First of all, the most superficial god is the god worshiped by ghosts and gods. No matter how high his status is raised by believers and how powerful and boundless his power is, for those who practice Taoism, they are all external ghosts and gods. Even more specifically, all ghosts and gods must
It is born due to induction, and there is no need to deliberately require its state of existence and whether it has entity.
The second is the god of spiritual consciousness. This god is the consciousness god for those who practice Taoism, and things such as soul, will, thinking, perception, etc. all belong to this.
The third one is the god of things. Any expression involving laws, mechanisms, and functions is this god. For example, the laws of the natural movement of heaven and earth, and the functional mechanism of the human body and mind. Xuan Weizi taught Rosalian's "Five Cunsi"
In the "Qi Method", transforming the organs into physical energy is actually using spirit to respond to matter.
The highest level is the origin that causes the emergence of laws and mechanisms. For those who practice Taoism, it is the Yuan Shen. But it is not the Yuan Shen that generally appears, but the Yuan Shen who wants to reach the state of forgetting the form and equaling things and interoperating with all things.
, incomparably close to the Great Dao. In fact, it is no longer possible to describe the "god" in this realm with words and thinking alone.
These four, the God of Origin and the God of Things, are one body and have one function. The God of Origin and the God of Consciousness are one inside and one surface. The God of Ghosts and Gods is the physical transformation of the God of Things by the God of Consciousness.
In fact, the vast majority of ghosts and gods do not essentially break away from the cognitive scope of intelligent life. Regardless of whether they actually exist, they are actually the result of concretizing and visualizing the natural objective laws of heaven and earth, and even the concrete social laws and forms of intelligent life.
change.
In this way, various natural gods, personal gods, and social gods responsible for social relations and forms of activities were born.
Although alchemy monks like Xuan Weizi don't say it, they have no good impressions of ghosts and gods. What they pursue is to use the god of consciousness to move closer and converge with the god of material use and the god of origin. This is what is called refining.
The foundation of the spirit returning to emptiness and refining emptiness to combine with Tao lies in this.
As for the "soul refining and divine communication" taught to Sandoli, from a Taoist point of view, it is also designed for seeking Taoism. But if you want to use it as a trick to sense ghosts and gods, it is not impossible, but that is
It’s an act of abandoning the basics to pursue the weak.
"To be honest, I don't expect you to figure it out all at once." Xuan Weizi said: "In my opinion, totem giant spirits are actually close to ghosts and gods. However, spirit magic is not all the science of ghosts and gods. Natural giant spirits
Then you are closer to the god of things. If you can take good care of your body and mind, and understand the natural laws of heaven and earth, you will know that the so-called ghosts and gods are actually just phenomena, and there is nothing worthy of worship."
But looking at Sandori and Rosalin's confused expressions, Xuan Weizi knew that he was probably wasting his words.
Sandori had no choice but to bring the topic back to what happened in Chaidui Town: "Then you are not going to pay attention to Chaidui Town?"
"I am me, and I have no responsibility to take care of other people for the rest of my life." Xuan Weizi said expressionlessly: "What's more, even if I were in Chaidui Town, I would not agree to rashly become hostile to the mages of the Imperial Legion. Maybe I would still fight them.
Let’s explore the ruins together.”
Sanduoli hesitated to speak, and Xuan Weizi asked: "What? You don't want the ruins to be occupied by others? If you want to go down the mountain and besiege the legion mage with them, I won't stop you."
"I originally thought that you were protecting Chai Dui Town, so you did something to our tribe..." Sandori couldn't continue mid-sentence.
Xuan Weizi replied simply: "I just chose to live in Chai Dui Town. The meaning of the existence of everything in the world for me is just to use it for practice. If it hinders practice, then discard it.
And put it down, and kick it out of the way."
Sandori didn't speak this time. No matter how stupid she was, she could still understand that her teacher Tu Randi was "kicked away" because he was blocking the way. The indifference of the person in front of her was not an exposed personality, but something deeper.
nature of the place.
"But, I have also heard about the empire and mages' habit of embezzling and plundering." Xuan Weizi said: "If possible, I still hope to explore the ruins of the Holy Land by myself, but right now I still have the last bit of effort."
Just now Sandoli reminded Xuan Weizi about the ruins of the Holy Land, which actually reminded him of the construct plate armor brought out from the ruins.
Previously, Xuan Weizi tried to fuse Hengyizi, the activated crow and the astral clone into one, and also used the "Crown of Stars" as an energy source, intending to create a powerful magic servant. The idea was full of ideas, but the reality hit Xuan Weizi hard.
Wei Zi slapped him.
The connection between the "Crown of Stars" and the arcane star map can indeed provide vast energy for the new magic servant, but the functional structure of the magic servant cannot support energy input and output. After all the effort to strengthen the functional structure, this time the energy input
It's not enough anymore.
Even if Xuan Weizi found a more powerful energy source, the functional structure of the magic servant still could not support it, and he was completely in a dilemma. Xuan Weizi tried his best to use various methods to move the spirit and energy, and constantly adjusted the internal characteristics of the astral body.
, cast spells day and night, but still cannot make this magic servant perform stably.
So now the fundamental question becomes how to create an operating model that maintains stable "function and energy".
Theoretically, the functional structure and energy matter remain stable, and the operating mode without retreat or loss is exactly the state of the golden elixir of the alchemy monk. But at present, Xuan Weizi himself has not reached this level, so that external objects can achieve similar results.
The situation is simply extremely difficult.
The only way is to find an operating mode that can maintain stable operation, and at the same time have an actual body as a carrier - isn't the set of construct plate armor brought out at the Holy Land ruins the best object?
