What is a mirage?

In the information we can find today, most of them believe that the mirage is a kind of large oyster in the sea, and the shell can swallow clouds and smoke between the opening and closing, causing the wonder of a mirage. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Then the problem comes, everyone must have seen "Water Margin", there are two brothers in it, and they are among the seventy-two earthly generals among the one hundred and eight generals. One is called Tong Wei, nicknamed out of the hole, and the other is called Tong Meng, nicknamed Turning Mirage. Even if the brothers on the rivers and lakes at that time did not have the opportunity to read and write because of family poverty or the exploitation of the rulers, why did Mr. Shi Nai'an write the nickname of a pair of brothers as one for Jiaolong and the other for oysters when he was carrying out the secondary processing of literary creation?

The obvious answer is that the mirage, if it exists, is certainly not a large oyster. Although in known myths and legends, all living beings in the world who have cultivated the Fa may turn into dragon form. This explains why dragons are also called the Nine Likes. What are the nine dissimilarities of this dragon, and the current statement will be somewhat different from the past. There is a legend that the dragon's appearance is antlers, bull ears, hump head, rabbit eyes, tiger paws, eagle claws, fish scales, snake neck, and mirage. Even if there are other sayings, "mirage" is replaced with "snake belly" or "snake body". In this way, the mirage is even more unlikely to be a shellfish, and it is more certain that the mirage and the Jiao are similar creatures.

Let's talk about dragons first, in fact, dragons are creatures, in addition to being able to travel clouds and rain, their body size can also be large or small, and their appearance is also varied. This includes, but is not limited to, the winged Ying Dragon, the horned Qiu Dragon, the hornless Cockroach, and the scaly Jiaolong. It can be seen that the dragon is talking about a race, and it is a race composed of creatures that can constantly improve themselves on the way to cultivation. As a creature similar to Jiao, it is not difficult to see the clue from its glyph. The mirage is written as Shangchen Xiaworm, which corresponds to the dragon in the twelve addresses, and the snake is also called the long worm in some parts of China.

"Erya Wing" says that the dragon is the length of the scale insect, can we boldly imagine that after the snake has cultivated deeply, it can turn into a dragon, and after a long period of practice, the dragon can be incarnated into a dragon. At this time, the dragon should be a hornless dragon. And if the dragon wants to continue to practice, he will incarnate as a dragon. After cultivating for 500 years, you can transform into a horned dragon, and the horned dragon is also known as a dragon. And after the horned dragon has practiced for another thousand years, it can incarnate into a dragon. The dragon incarnated as Ying Long is equipped with wings, which is a totem inherited for 5,000 years of Chinese Han nationality. You don't see the two Han Dynasty from the Shang and Zhou dynasties, from the two Han Dynasty to the Sui and Tang dynasties, the totems of my Han nation are all Ying Long with wings. And nowadays, we often see the dragons seen in film and television dramas, especially in pigtail dramas, which are simply dragons that have not yet cultivated to their homes. It's just that it was somehow lifted to the dragon flag of the Qing Dynasty, which can be regarded as a totem of the Manchurians.

Let's not digress to the topic, let's talk about the first stage of Jiaolong's evolution into a dragon as a creature, which can be regarded as the stage when the biological intelligence has developed to a high level, but the soul power has not yet fully grown. At this time, the dragon creatures called Jiao were unpredictable about good and evil, and their actions were mostly driven by instinct and simple intellectual analysis. If we boldly speculate that the predecessors deliberately called the dragon that does good and the evil dragon called the mirage, perhaps we can unify the image of the poisonous dragon that breathes smoke and spits fire with the image of the mirage that rises clouds and smoke.

The discussion about mirage ended first, and we continued from the previous article, after learning the details of Tiangang Island from Miss Lian. Gongsun and Chiyou both felt that it was simply useless to use the seventy-two brothers they had carefully selected to deal with the more than ten villains who occupied the Diren Kingdom. There is a way without further ado, according to Lian's guidance, the troops should be divided into ten ways to capture the group of people who claim to be the envoys of the Red Emperor.

In view of the fact that Chi You once annihilated the opponent's ten-person squad by himself, Bo suggested that everyone divide the troops into eleven routes, and select six people to rush to the end of the canoe to deliver the goods with Miss Lian, and control the place where the other party may get reinforcements. Then a team of Chi You, Gongsun, and Bo was formed, and the rest of the people were divided into ten teams, and they went up against the current of the ten waterways that were still transporting ore one after another. Strive to control all the enemy's living forces in the shortest possible time.

The actual situation was similar to Gongsun and Bo's estimates, and ten of the eleven squads successfully completed the task, although the opponents they encountered and the methods they used were different, but all of them completed the task without danger. It's just that it seems accidental and inevitable, only Gongsun's group has encountered a little trouble. This trouble is both a matter of immediate probability when choosing a watercourse, and it seems to be an obstacle that Bo will inevitably encounter if he trusts too much in Chiyou's abilities. Chiyou, who is fully armed, they actually failed to take down the opponent in the first place.

In fact, we have no reason to blame Chiyou, because a long time has passed since the three of them entered the third waterway on the right. However, what appeared in front of the three of them was still a dark and deep tunnel, and even the waterway on the side of the three of them was still stirring up the unique sound of the stream. I just don't know when it started, the tunnel in front of me seems to have no end, and the canoes shuttling back and forth have been lost in the flowing water on my side.

When they first discovered this change, the three of them slowed down and cautiously pushed forward, thinking that they were approaching the end of the waterway. However, with the passage of time, Gongsun and their mood changed from cautious at first, to nervous and anxious later, and finally to be at a loss. Fortunately, Gongsun and Bo are both calm and calm, and they don't let the anxiety spread among the three of them. It's just that the situation in front of him even Chiyou, who has always been simple, faintly noticed that something was wrong. I don't know how long the three of them can hold out without collapsing.

As the team of three marched, Chi You suddenly kicked a stone at his feet into the darkness in the distance, and shouted at the same time, "I can't stand it, what kind of bird cave is this, quiet can fade out of a bird." Gongsun, don't you like to show off that you are knowledgeable, how did you become dumb today? ”

Chi You turned around to look at the grandson behind him as he spoke, but he didn't expect that the grandson, who was originally with his head down, seemed to have discovered that Chi You was looking at him in an instant. Gongsun slowly raised his head and looked at Chi You's eyes, and when Chi You looked at Gongsun, he suddenly found that Gongsun's eyes had become blood-red at some point.

Speaking of Gongsun, when the three of them entered the tunnel, the formation of Chi You was in front, Bo was in the back, and Gongsun was in the center. And because of Gongsun's own thoughtfulness, he was also the first of the three to find that something was wrong with the cave, but what Gongsun found was not that the cave was too quiet, but that he jumped backwards in two breaths after the canoe in the flowing water on his side suddenly disappeared. This move frightened Bo, who was following Gongsun, and quickly stopped the momentum of his advance. And Gongsun made a seemingly simple leap and found that the canoe in the water flow beside him had reappeared in front of him as abruptly as when it disappeared. Gongsun Gang wanted to call Chi You, who was opening the way in front, to wait, so that he could talk about this discovery and discuss it with Bo behind him. When I looked up, I found that there was still a shadow of Chi You in front of me.

Just when Gongsun was hesitating whether to catch up and pull back Chiyou, Chiyou's eye-catching figure appeared in front of Gongsun's eyes again, and the overjoyed Gongsun hurriedly ran to Chiyou. It's just that he overlooked one thing, that is, in the current of water beside him, the canoe that had just appeared disappeared again inexplicably. Because Gongsun is relatively short, he is noble and less than Chiyou's waist. So Gongsun could only reluctantly grab one of Chi You's hands. However, what made Gongsun feel different in an instant was that after Chi You was pulled by Gongsun's palm, his reaction was to suddenly stop moving.

Someone is going to say, Chiyou is pulled by Gongsun and then no longer advances, isn't this reaction normal? If someone else is normal, but this Chiyou is Gongsun's uncle, if Chiyou's hand is pulled by Gongsun on weekdays, he will definitely lift his arm to pull Gongsun off the ground, and then he will lovingly put the laughing Gongsun on his shoulder. Although Chiyou was wearing full-body armor at this moment, the shoulder armor he wore on his shoulders also had many spikes on it. However, we all know that Chiyou is not a delicate person. According to Chi You's temperament, it is even possible to pull Gongsun up first, and when he habitually wants to put Gongsun on his shoulder, he suddenly remembers that he can no longer sit on his shoulder.

But Chi You in front of him didn't want to mention Gongsun at all. Gongsun was not ambiguous, and immediately let go of Chi You's palm, and then turned two heels backwards, and in the process of turning his heels, he pulled out his weapon from behind. Gongsun's weapon was a sword, a double-edged sword with a thick body and a short and narrow hilt. Gongsun held the sword in his right hand, his left hand in front of his chest, and his eyes were slightly upward staring at Chi You's face armor. Coincidentally, through Chiyou's visor, Gongsun also saw a pair of blood-red eyes. Obviously, Chiyou is an innate green wood body, and it is forgivable if the eyes reveal a brilliant green light when casting spells, and it should not have a pair of red eyes anyway. Then, it is very likely that the Chiyou in front of Gongsun has been controlled by something, and even more, the Chiyou in front of Gongsun is simply a "person" with the appearance of Chiyou.

Thanks to Gongsun's carefulness, if the situation at this moment was changed to Bo, I am afraid that he would not have put on a defensive posture so quickly. Similarly, if it is changed to Bo, it is very likely that he will not be able to catch the next powerful attack of Chi You at all. I saw that Chi You picked up the war halberd more than two zhang long like a straw stick, Gongsun was shorter than Chi You, and at this time, Chi You took advantage of his height to lift the war halberd high, and after it was rounded, he smashed it down left and right. Don't look at Chi You's body shape, but his skills are not clumsy, and with the green wood aura in Chi You's body, it seems that it will never be exhausted. For a while, Gongsun couldn't raise his head.

Looking at that Gongsun's reaction again, it can be said that it is not unpleasant, and thanks to his ability to deal with it, he opened the defensive posture in advance. Rao was like this, under Chi You's attack, Gongsun only had time to hold the double-edged sword in his hand horizontally above his head, one hand firmly grasped the hilt, and the other hand firmly supported the spine of the sword. Although it is said that Chiyou was born with the body of Aoki, and the aura of the Aoki in his body is like a surging spring, but the background of that grandson is the same as that of Chiyou, how can he not practice any magic? It's just that not all people are as lucky as Chiyou, and they are born with the body of Aoki. However, this grandson is also an acquired cultivation genius, although he has only been cultivating for more than ten years, he has cultivated himself almost close to the body of the earth spirit. The characteristic of the earth spiritual energy is that it is heavy, although Chiyou's cultivation is higher than that of Gongsun, and it is invisibly Mu Ketu, but although Chiyou's attack is as violent and domineering as a storm, it makes Gongsun tremble. But Gongsun still gritted his teeth and insisted, faintly having a little bit of the meaning of being able to fight with Chi You.

What is the difference between this Aoki body and the earth spirit body? The physique of a person like Chi You, who is born with a very high degree of spiritual energy compatibility with a certain attribute, is called this spiritual energy body. In addition to Chiyou's Aoki body, there are also physiques such as the body of red fire, the body of loess, the body of Xuanshui, the body of pure gold, and so on. People with these physiques are born with the ability to mobilize the aura of a certain attribute between heaven and earth, and apply this aura to daily life and battle without any sluggishness. If it were two human beings who started cultivating at the same time, those who possessed this innate body would naturally take advantage of the competition. However, human beings are intelligent creatures, and moreover, they are quite intelligent creatures, and adult humans can even master the power of the soul. In the process of cultivation, the innate advantages of human beings are not obvious, and they also start later than those races loved by heaven and earth. But because of the possession of souls, human beings have always been able to burst out with some sparkling ideas, and use these flashes of wisdom to reach heights that other creatures cannot reach.

For example, the body of the earth spirit that Gongsun will attain, it is a cultivation method that human beings comprehend through the throbbing in the depths of their souls when they understand the heavens and the earth. It may not be appropriate to say that it is a cultivation method, because the body of the earth spirit is only a stage or direction of cultivation in this cultivation method to achieve a small success. The purpose of cultivating the body of the earth spirit is to no longer lose to the human beings who have the innate body of loess in the mobilization and application of the aura of heaven and earth. If we simply take the theory of innate and acquired, the spiritual objects that existed before the opening of the heavens and the spiritual objects that appeared after the opening of the heavens are naturally not the same. However, if it is only based on the human body, the difference in physical fitness before birth can be completely compensated by special talent and hard work. Of course, this kind of exercise does not only have the body of the earth spirit cultivated by Gongsun, but also corresponds to the innate body of the five elements, and the acquired cultivation naturally also has five kinds of spirit bodies, so I will not list them one by one here.

In fact, among human beings, there are not many people who can mobilize the aura of the weather like Gongsun and Chiyou. It's just that I don't know what kind of genius the person who discovered that human beings can cultivate at the beginning, and what kind of coincidence created the cultivation method of the Five Elements Spirit Body, but although we can't guess the wisdom of our ancestors. However, there has never been a shortage of geniuses in the history of the struggle of the human race, and after someone made up for the difference between the innate and acquired physiques of humans who relied on the cultivation of spiritual energy, there was another genius of the human race, perhaps a few of them. These human geniuses have created a separate system for cultivating by relying on the power of human souls for humans who cannot rely on the Five Elements Spiritual Qi to cultivate. As the old saying goes, "Trees have spirits, and people have souls." This is not entirely true, but it also somewhat clarifies a truth, that is, when ordinary plants grow to the depths of life, they have just opened their spirituality and learned to simply seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. For example, it is instinctive for branches to grow towards the sun, and roots to grow with the water source. Ordinary animals, on the other hand, are slightly stronger than plants, and are born with spirituality, and can act according to instinct, hungry and thirsty, and avoiding predators. When animals live for a long time, they will gradually have low intelligence, which is the key to the evolution of spirits to souls.

And human beings are completely different, human beings are born with spirits and souls, and the power of the innate soul allows human beings to learn languages, use tools, cultivate and strengthen their bodies, and even human elders who have lived for a long time, and their souls can be immortal after the death of the body, and even more can shuttle between the two worlds of yin and yang. First of all, let's talk about how people who can't smoothly communicate the Five Elements Spiritual Qi cultivate, that is, relying on the power of the soul to refine. What is refining? Refining and transformation are two actions, they are unified in this cultivation system, but they play two completely different roles, and refining is the cultivation method of this cultivation method. It is to take the human soul as the foundation, empty the body and mind to inspire anything in nature that is in harmony with one's soul. Once the inspiration is successful, this kind of thing will be refined into a part of its own soul, and under the nourishment of the human soul, this foreign part will gradually grow and possess all kinds of magical abilities. And the human soul will also be stimulated by this external part to develop and grow rapidly. Due to the different things that each person refines, the abilities they obtain are also different, and this method of refining is also subdivided into various different small factions, such as refining souls, refining bodies, refining forms, refining realms, and so on.

And those who successfully complete the cultivation begin to practice the ability of transformation. Refining is to obtain various magical abilities, and transformation is the application of this ability. Taking people in the refining realm as an example, they often refine a certain kind of weather in the natural world, such as a rainbow, a wisp of smoke, a breeze, a snowflake, and so on. When fighting with others, they will transform the things they have refined into their souls, and with the help of changing and controlling the environment, they will make the opponent have a certain illusion, so that the opponent will lose himself, and then supplement it with other means to achieve the goal of hitting the opponent. This situation looks a bit like hypnosis or a mirage to the attacked party.
