The night is deep, there is a bright moon in the sky, and the stars are shining, the demons in the southern wilderness are stinging, all the sounds are silent, and even the sound of insects can not be heard.

Shenyin Village was already full of black lights, only Luo Yun was still not sleepy, so he simply went out of the house alone, leaned on an old locust tree with sparse leaves, looked up at the starry sky, and his thoughts drifted.

"Is it really impossible to refine the body?" Luo Yun was stunned and muttered in a low voice.

Cultivation is based on exercises, and the method of refining the body with spirits that he has explored is born from the hammer bone technique after all, and it is really not clever, and it is unknown whether it can support him to reach the same level as the spiritual realm.

The road to refining the body is destined to be full of bumps.

"Do you think that soul refining is the way to ascend to the sky?"

An old, hoarse voice burst out, breaking the silence of the night.

I don't know when, there was an old man with messy silver hair beside Luo Yun, dressed in patches and shabby robes, the straw sandals on his feet were also broken with a few holes, and even his toes were exposed.

"Village chief, be polite. ”

The old man in front of him was really not good-looking, but Luo Yun didn't dare to slack off, so he quickly got up, straightened his clothes, and respectfully bowed to the old man.

The old man is the head of Shenyin Village, a mysterious existence like a cloud and mist, no one can tell the origin of his heels, and no one knows where he was studied, it is rumored that soon after the catastrophe, he entered the Southern Wilderness alone, and established Shenyin Village in the deep mountains and old forests surrounded by demons, in order to receive those monks who are not allowed to the world, regardless of the reason, regardless of good and evil, as long as they can pass the heart of the question, they can get his protection.

As the saying goes, the thousand-year-old king is eighty-thousand-year-old turtle, and the cultivation realm of a cultivator is often linked to his age, and the old village chief is very likely to be an ancient existence that has survived since the catastrophe, so his cultivation realm can be imagined.

The kind-eyed old man did not have a trace of the demeanor of a hidden master, smiled and waved his hand at Luo Yun, then sat on the ground by himself, picked up a weed casually, put it in his mouth and chewed, turned his head to Luo Yun and asked, "Little guy, would you like to talk to me?"

"You have to do it. Luo Yun was a little flattered, but hurriedly nodded as if a chicken pecked rice, if there was such a long-lived master's guidance, it might really help him get rid of the obstacles in front of him and recognize the way to go.

However, the number of meetings he has had with the old village chief over the years can be described as only a handful, although he is in the position of the village chief, he is a hands-off shopkeeper, traveling all the year round, rarely returning to the village, and most of them will be closed, rarely dealing with the rest of the people.

There is no incense between the two sides, but looking at his posture, finding himself is definitely not a whim.

Lao Cun stretched out his hand and patted the open space on his side, motioned for Luo Yun to sit down beside him, and said with a smile: "I can't be so angry, and my elders and you can be regarded as forgetful friends." ”

Luo Yun didn't think much about it, thinking that the person the old village chief was referring to was Uncle Jiang, so he sat side by side with him unceremoniously, took the lead in opening the chatterbox, and sincerely asked: "Senior, today's physical cultivation path"

The old village chief took off the wine gourd hanging from his waist, took a sip of it, and asked rhetorically: "They all say that there are three thousand, why did the human race choose to refine the soul alone?"

Luo Yun thought for a while, and then said what he knew: "According to legend, refining qi is the orthodoxy of Xuanmen. Qi refiners feed on the six qi, are familiar with the changes of the four seasons, understand the truth of heaven and earth, condense the laws of the Great Dao, and can cultivate into a supreme Dan in the body, with a long lifespan, and are a group of existences comparable to ghosts and gods. ”

"It's just that 80,000 years ago, the co-master of the world fell, the world and the earth were reversed, the avenue was lacking, the law collapsed, the human race could no longer merge with the broken avenue, and the road of refining qi was cut off since then.

"You're right, but it's just the tip of the iceberg of the truth..."The old village chief sighed leisurely and said slowly.

"Could it be that there is something else hidden in it?" Luo Yun's curiosity was aroused.

The old village chief stroked the goatee on his chin, squinted his eyes, and said: "The Tao does not distinguish between right and wrong, but there are high and low, the method of refining qi began at the beginning of the era, and it is prevalent in countless worlds outside the sky, this is a brilliant cultivation system, pointing directly to the root of the Dao." ”

"The inherent merits of the method of cultivating souls in later generations are nothing more than the deduction of a group of mortals who have not attained the Dao, even after tens of thousands of years of perfection, there are many omissions in it, and it is far from perfection. ”

"Human beings are not as good as a drop in the ocean of heaven and earth, even if they are broken and lacking, it is difficult for ordinary people to understand a corner of it in their lives, and it is enough to support the Qi Refiner to be promoted to the unpredictable realm. ”

The old village chief continued: "There are no eggs under the nest, not only this world has changed, but also the people living under this sky, the law of the Great Dao is not complete, how can people be complete?"

"People are not perfect? What is the explanation?" Luo Yun frowned, the amount of information in the old village chief's words was really amazing, and it was really difficult for him to understand it thoroughly for a while.

Looking up at the starry sky, the old village chief's cloudy and yellowish eyes suddenly became clear, and he slowly said the truth hidden under history: "The reincarnation of this heaven and earth has been broken..."

"But the so-called six realms of reincarnation in Buddhism?" Luo Yun wondered.

The old village chief nodded, and shook his head again: "Yes and no." The six realms of reincarnation in Buddhism talk about karma, while the reincarnation of heaven and earth only talks about fairness. You only need to know that the souls of the ancient tribes have fallen, and all of them can return to Huangquan, cross the Nai He Bridge, wash away the old memories of life, forget the past, enter the reincarnation with the soul of heaven, and live a new life. When reincarnation is broken, the dead have no place to return, the souls of ordinary people cannot withstand the scorching sun and wind, and they will soon disappear, while if the cultivators die with obsessions, they will turn into resentful ghosts and cause trouble. ”

Hearing this, Luo Yun couldn't help but shrink his neck, feeling a chill spread to the back of his head, no matter how precocious his mind was, after all, he was a seven or eight-year-old child, and when he heard these strange things at night, he was inevitably a little afraid.

"The reincarnation is broken, and the creatures born in the next life only have two souls and seven souls left, and the heavenly soul is lacking, and the heavenly soul not only bears the imprint of the previous life, but also a bridge to communicate with the avenue of heaven and earth.

The old village chief asked again, "Do you know why the seventh level of soul cultivation is called a real person?"

Luo Yun shook his head blankly, the Spirit Realm was a high wall that he couldn't overcome, and how could he see the scenery of the real realm.

The old village chief said in a deep voice: "Because when you reach the real realm, you can reshape the heavenly soul, and only with a complete three souls and seven spirits can you be regarded as a true and complete person." ”
