Chapter 139: The Pavilion of the Scriptures
After reading "General History of the Mainland", Shen Tianye chose another "Introduction to Witchcraft" and read it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 InfoThe wizard battle video he saw in the video room before was too impressive. Whether it was a strange blood spell or a miraculous immobilization spell and other spells, they all aroused Shen Tianye's great interest. He wondered what so-called witchcraft was.
"Introduction to Witchcraft" is not long, and it briefly introduces the characteristics, advantages and disadvantages of witchcraft, and how to deal with it. Shen Tianye carefully browsed it, and after about ten minutes, he withdrew his spiritual sense, and he already had a general understanding of witchcraft.
Witchcraft, which originated in antiquity. It was created by ancient gods such as Pangu and Nuwa. In ancient times, in order to survive, human beings created a variety of exercises and spells, and at that time, the aura of heaven and earth was extremely rich and the quality was also very high. Because of the cultivation of spells, human beings gradually became stronger, and began to compete with the barbarian monsters who had dominated for countless years. Since human beings are the primates of all things and the most suitable cosmic beings for cultivation, soon, human beings replaced demon beasts and became the overlords of the entire continent.
With the rise of human beings, more and more exercises and spells have been created, and more and more people have practiced them. In the Middle Ages, human cultivation reached its peak. All the demon beasts also followed suit and practiced the human exercises. The ancient divine beasts even borrowed from the human cultivation techniques to create many exercises and spells that were in line with their demon beast cultivation. With the passage of time, the spiritual energy resources on the Divine Continent became increasingly scarce. Pangu and other human gods, as well as the ancient gods and beasts, could not endure such a thin aura of heaven and earth, and they all shattered the void with supreme divine powers, and flew away.
Because although the cultivation exercises and spells created by Pangu and other great gods were powerful, the aura of heaven and earth required was very amazing, so with the decline of the aura of heaven and earth, these exercises and spells were gradually abandoned and lost, and finally replaced by new exercises and spells created by Buddha, Tao, and demons.
Daomen Laozi, Demon Gate Motian and Buddhism Shakya are all geniuses, and they are not inferior to Pangu and other great gods. According to the current situation of the heaven and earth aura in the Shenzhou Continent, they successively created cultivation exercises and spells that were different from those of Pangu and other gods, and gradually replaced the latter. Due to the limitations of the aura of heaven and earth, in the ancient period, the spells created by Pangu and others were declining, and most of the cultivators only practiced the exercises and spells of the three sects of Buddhism, Taoism and Demons, and only the Wu clan still practiced the ancient spells created by Pangu and others. Therefore, the witches were denounced as heretics, and the ancient spells they practiced were also degraded as witchcraft.
Strictly speaking, witchcraft is a much older form of magic. Now Buddhism and Taoism claim to be orthodox and degrade witchcraft as heresy, which is actually very ridiculous. If it weren't for the aura of heaven and earth, witchcraft would be the overlord of spells.
However, the witchcraft practiced by the witch clan now is not really ancient magic, it can only be said to be some of the skin of ancient magic. After all, it is an indisputable fact that the aura of heaven and earth has been declining, and it is difficult for ancient spells to exert their true strength under such thin conditions of heaven and earth aura, so even the witch clan who does not want to abandon ancient spells can only make some improvements to them. After the improvement, it is actually different from the previous ancient spells, and the power is greatly reduced. Therefore, the witchcraft practiced by the witch clan today is not really ancient magic. It is not surprising that they were denounced as heretics by the Buddhas.
Witchcraft is characterized by being unpredictable, mainly attacking spirits and souls, and they usually chant a spell before attacking, and then launch it with spiritual power. Powerful wizards can even do instant attacks without reciting spells.
There are three types of witchcraft, namely: low-level witchcraft, intermediate witchcraft, and high-level witchcraft. Low-level witchcraft, which can be practiced by sorcerers (equivalent to the enlightenment period) and sorcerers (equivalent to the knotted period); Intermediate witchcraft needs to reach the realm of witch general (equivalent to the Yuan infant stage) and witch phase (equivalent to the cave void stage) before it can be practiced. As for advanced sorcery, it can only be practiced by the Witch King (equivalent to the Dacheng stage) and the Witch Saint (Ascension stage).
Forcibly practicing witchcraft that is higher than one's own level is not only difficult to succeed, but it is also easy to be repulsed when used. For example, the sorcerer I saw in the video room before couldn't use the blood spell with his level, but in the end, he forcibly used the blood spell in order to defeat the Daomen disciples, and his whole body quickly dried up, and he was so weak that he fell directly to the ground, and in the face of the opponent's attack, he had no power to fight back, which was the result of being counterattacked.
The beauty of witchcraft is that it is unpredictable and unpredictable. If it is a powerful wizard, it can attack instantly, and it is extremely difficult for other monks in the same realm to resist. If there were more than one high-level wizard, it would definitely be a nightmare for the other monks. However, the disadvantages of witchcraft are equally obvious. Witchcraft has extremely strict requirements for the spiritual power of the wizard, that is, the power of the soul. In general, a wizard's mental power will become weak after using witchcraft several times in a row, and if he cannot defeat or kill his opponent before then, then the wizard is in danger. Because after the wizard's mental power becomes weak, their attack ability is greatly reduced, and it is very likely that they will be killed by the opponent's counterattack. Comparatively speaking, wizards' mana is somewhat weak, not as far as their spell attacks.
The way to deal with witchcraft is to strengthen the tempering of one's own soul and improve one's soul power. If your soul power is stronger than that of the other person, it is generally difficult for the other person's witchcraft to hurt you. The second is to have a magic weapon to defend against spiritual attacks. A powerful defensive magic weapon can remove the influence of witchcraft attacks to a large extent, however, this magic weapon is extremely difficult to refine, so it is very rare.
Then there is the practice of witchcraft by oneself. Of course, this one is naturally harder. Witchcraft cultivation is very demanding on the soul and is generally difficult to refine. Moreover, the witchcraft witchcraft witch clan is extremely well preserved, and for intermediate and high-level witchcraft, even the witch clan disciples are difficult to cultivate.
After reading it, Shen Tianye couldn't help but sigh for a long time. The world is unpredictable, who would have thought that the ancient spells that were once flourishing would be reduced to the current stage?
After sighing for a while, Shen Tianye once again picked out some of the treatises and notes of his predecessors and read them. The experience of our predecessors is extremely important, and there are many valuable experiences and realizations in their treatises and notes, which are even more important than a good book of exercises. Shen Tianye knew the reason, so he looked more and more seriously. A few years ago, when he was at the Star Gate, Shen Tianye was stuck in the late stage of enlightenment and couldn't break through, so he often read books. Not only in the field of cultivation, but also in the works written by mortals, he used to dabble in them, and he benefited greatly from them. It's just that the Interstellar Gate doesn't have many books, and although Shen Tianye is studious, what he can learn is also very limited.
The Pavilion contains many works of our predecessors. Shen Tianye watched carefully, and suddenly felt that his eyes were opened, and many unknown places before suddenly opened up, and for a while, he was fascinated and dancing. For example, one of the "Canglan Notes" was written by a senior master of the Daomen more than a million years ago, and Shen Tianye saw that he wrote:
"It is a big mistake for people in the world to only focus on the cultivation of mana and the ascension of the realm, and not to care about the tempering of the body and the cultivation of the soul. The cross mantra of common Taoist cultivation: Mana is the main thing, supplemented by exercises and magic weapons, this is true, but the improvement of mana depends on the solidity of the body; The magic of the monk lies in the fullness of the soul. If the physical body is not complete, the increase in mana will be limited after all; If the spirit is not full, it is inevitable that the enemy will fall behind. Heavy mana and light flesh, cultivation can be fast for a while, but the further you go, the more powerless you can do it. Therefore, the correct method of cultivation should be to take into account the essence, qi, and spirit, and develop in a balanced manner, without impartiality, arrogance or rashness, with mana as the base, the physical body as the instrument, and the soul as the center, step by step, and seek ascension in stability. This cultivation is also the right path. ”
When Shen Tianye saw this, he couldn't help but admire. The views in the book are very novel, and the opinions are also quite unique, and if you think about it carefully, the precise points of the monks in the text are really beautiful and thought-provoking.
Another example is a senior named Tianji Old Man who wrote in the opening chapter of his "Tianji Question":
"Why are the stars of the universe born? Why did all living beings come into being? The road to reason, because of whom? Who determines the number of fates? ”
Shen Tianye was silent. Yes, how did everything in the universe come into being and where did it come from? Why is there a great avenue in the world? Is the fate of human beings really predestined a long time ago? Perhaps, even the immortals can't answer it, right? The universe is vast, and relatively speaking, although human beings have learned to cultivate the truth, they are still too small. Those mysteries could not be solved by a small monk of the Dan period.
When I continued to read it, I saw that the article continued:
"The avenue is ethereal, the heavens are unpredictable, the life is sometimes exhausted, and the way of heaven is unlimited, and the pursuit of the supreme avenue with a limited life is a matter of usurping life against the sky, even if the brilliant and heroic people of the world, they are also incapacitated. However, the heavens and the earth are infinite, the years are infinite, and the cultivation is endless. Those who fix their hearts and persevere will be favored by heaven; Those who are determined and indomitable, why are they afraid of the difficulties of the road? I am reluctant! ”
Although the old man did not answer his own question before, he immediately encouraged himself. There is quite a bit of the spirit of "the road is long, I will go up and down and seek" in it, Shen Tianye was fascinated by it, and he forgot the time, until the next morning, a ray of sunlight shone into the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and he woke up suddenly. Before I knew it, I had watched it all night. Hurriedly put back the jade slip and took out the token, Shen Tianye walked out of the Hidden Scripture Pavilion and flew towards the thirty-six cave heavens.
