Chapter 42: Beauty

"It's the easiest way to do it, and we call it 'soul lifting'. If you are a beginner and your soul power is weak, you will first take something lighter to practice. For example, a playing card, or even a small piece of paper, etc., step by step, gradually increase the weight, and have the effect of exercise. ”

Liu Qingqing withdrew her mental power, and the playing card fell straight down with a swipe and fell into her white little hand. "See? You try it. She casually drew a playing card and handed it to Huo Zongtang.

Huo Zongtang took the playing card, followed Liu Qingqing's full concentration and released his mental power, held the playing card, and then let go.

Unexpectedly, the playing card barely stayed in the air for half a second, and then it fell to the ground with a twist. At the same time, Huo Zongtang felt a burst of weightless dizziness in his mind, as if his soul was overwhelmed, and he felt a sense of mental weakness and weakness.

Liu Qingqing coughed and said in a coquettish voice: "Junior brother, your mental strength is inevitably too weak, and you can't hold up a playing card!" Let's change to a light piece of tissue paper. ”

So Huo Zongtang changed a blank sheet of paper and failed several times. After that, it was replaced with half a blank sheet of paper, and it continued to fail several times before he used his mental power to barely hold it in the air. Looking at the white paper trembling in the air and about to fall down when touched, Liu Qingqing couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.

But despite this, she has always been very patient and taught Huo Zongtang many experiences and know-how without reservation. After training dozens of times, Huo Zongtang finally got some tricks. Although his strength is weak, his conscious progress is still obvious.

Then, Liu Qingqing talked about the method of exercising the density of soul power.

She first pushed a silver-white instrument, the instrument was surrounded by glass, and there were many delicate metal instruments embedded in the glass wall, as well as many complicated wiring.

"This instrument is specially made, and the glass on all sides looks ordinary, but it has the effect of showing mental power. You project your soul power into this instrument and see. ”

Huo Zongtang then slowly released his soul power and entered the glass instrument. Immediately afterwards, a wonderful scene appeared, in the glass container, a small molten light cluster was slowly reflected, the color was bright, and a faint blue light filled the entire container.

"This ...... This is what soul power looks like? Huo Zongtang was dumbfounded.

Liu Qingqing nodded. "What do you think it looks like?"

Huo Zongtang stared at the silver instrument, his face full of admiration. "Like ...... Like a glow, like a cloud of smoke, or like a flame or an aurora? Or is it not like it? It's hard to tell. But it's amazing! ”

"You're right. This is the soul power emitted by the soul particles, which is indeed a bit like smoke and clouds. But the soul power is the same as smoke and clouds, formless and substantial, extremely weak and unstable, dispersed when the wind blows, and collapsed when punches, and vulnerable to a blow. Therefore, one of the keys to the cultivation of the soul is to enhance the soul's defense and resistance to blows. Otherwise, if you encounter a civil and military opponent of the same level in the future, your soul power will be scattered by the other party in three or two clicks, so what kind of cultivation can you talk about? ”

"A higher level of literary practitioner can release his soul. However, the power of the material world, the sun, the moon, the light, the phoenix, the fire, the thunder and the lightning, will cause damage to the soul, and even directly damage the physical body. If you can't improve the resistance of the soul, the soul is eternal, and it is just an empty word. ”

Liu Qingqing's simple words made it clear the importance of improving the defense of the soul.

"And to enhance the soul defense, the key is to increase the density of the soul power. It's like a diffuse mist that can be blown away in one breath. But a drop of water condensed by the fog is not something that can be completely destroyed in one go. If it condenses into a grain of sand, it can still hurt people's hands. This is because the power of the latter is completely condensed into a point and is more dense. ”

Liu Qingqing's explanation was simple and easy to understand, and Huo Zongtang nodded again and again.

"This instrument is designed to give beginners the strength of their soul power." Liu Qingqing pointed to the container and gave instructions to Huo Zongtang. "Now you close your eyes and concentrate all your thoughts into a point."

Huo Zongtang closed his eyes and concentrated as he said, and as soon as his mind moved, the light blue light in the instrument slowly condensed to one place, from the original cloud of smoke to a small light cluster the size of an egg.

At the same time, his soul world also seemed to be squeezed and compressed by an invisible force, and even his spirit felt a strong sense of oppression, which was extremely uncomfortable.

"It's not enough. And continue to compress! Liu Qingqing looked at the soul power light group and continued to urge.

Huo Zongtang's brows furrowed slowly.

Well, a little more condensation, a little more, a little smaller!

This thought, the mind, continued to strengthen, forming a strong suction force in the soul world, like a black hole, causing his soul power to continue to compress, compress, compress, and compress...... Along with the increasing mental pressure, there was a feeling of tightness, tearing, and suffocation, and the sharp pain and dizziness from the depths of his soul made him almost collapse.

So much so that his whole body trembled slightly.

But the soul light cluster in the instrument had been compressed to the size of a soybean at this time, like a small candle in a glass cover.

Liu Qingqing nodded. "It's not good enough, but you're the first time, barely okay. Then you have to be careful, I'm going to turn on the instrument. In the instrument, there will be a wave of spiritual power, which will impact and affect your soul power light group, and make you feel dizzy, painful, pulling, squeezing, confusion and so on, which is very painful, you must endure it! ”

"In this training, the mental power fluctuations generated by the instrument are like the wind, and the condensed spiritual power light cluster you condense is like a candle flame. Mental fluctuations will impact your soul world again and again, and your task is to guard your spirit, strengthen your will, no matter how painful the spiritual world is, you can't give up, you must desperately compress your soul power to resist this impact. Otherwise, if one breath is dispersed, the soul candle flame will be extinguished at once, and you will lose. ”

When Huo Zongtang was ready, Liu Qingqing pressed a switch on the instrument.

An invisible spiritual fluctuation blew like a breeze. Although this power is not large, the "soul candle flame" condensed by Huo Zongtang is swaying sharply, like a candle in the wind, which is about to be extinguished. In the depths of Huo Zongtang's spirit, he felt a thrilling chill, and his whole soul seemed to be twisted and turned upside down, a feeling completely different from physical pain, which could not be described in words.

"Keep your mind and be strong! You can meditate on the literature you have practiced in your heart, eliminate distracting thoughts, strengthen your inner strength, and stabilize your soul! Although the impact of this mental fluctuation is painful, it is also beneficial, and you can use this impact to further compress your soul power and make it more solid and solid! Liu Qingqing felt Huo Zongtang's pain, and loudly encouraged him and pointed at him.

Huo Zongtang, who was tormented, was in high spirits, and then struggled to withdraw his thoughts from the pain, and began to silently recite the literary works he had cultivated with difficulty.

"Diary of a Madman", "Moonlight on the Lotus Pond", "Prisoner of Green...... The lines of beautiful words, vivid images, and moving literary artistic conceptions are like a cup of fragrant tea sent when he is extremely thirsty, and like a heavy rain falling when a fire burns, which quickly helped Huo Zongtang stabilize his mind. Not only that, but in the process of silent recitation and reminiscence over and over again, he slowly forgot his self and entered a literary artistic conception without emptiness and appearance.

The soul power candle flame, which was constantly swaying and beating in the mental fluctuations and could be extinguished at any time, actually withstood the impact and test, and slowly stabilized.

Liu Qingqing's complexion looked a lot better. With the help of the power of literary works, Huo Zongtang withstood the test, and his soul power became more constant and stronger. But that's a matter of course. The function of literary works is to heal the soul and guard the spiritual homeland. At a time when human nature is depraved and people's hearts are covered with dust, those excellent literary works in human history are a good remedy for the collapse of the world's people's hearts.

After that, Liu Qingqing adjusted the instrument again, and the instrument simulated a wave-like spiritual impact, slapping wave after wave on the soul power candle flame condensed by Huo Zongtang.

With the experience of the last time, Huo Zongtang persevered to the end in the midst of a burst of spiritual bombardment. Not only that, but he also broke through his own limits and further compressed the soybean-sized soul power candle flame to the size of a grain of rice.

This training to enhance the density of soul power has finally come to an end. For Huo Zongtang, this training is really a new exercise, but at the same time, it is also an extremely painful experience. After the training, Huo Zongtang's eyes were blank, his brain was in pain, his spirit was exhausted, as if he hadn't slept for several days and nights, and his brain was almost completely collapsed.

When Huo Zongtang was resting, Liu Qingqing was holding a blank piece of paper and a pen, writing and drawing on it, not knowing what he was doing.

When Huo Zongtang recovered a little bit of energy, Liu Qingqing stood in front of him with the piece of paper.

"The last training is to exercise the vitality of the soul power. Now I have a piece of paper in my hand with some words written on it. I cover it with a blank piece of paper, and you gather your soul power into your eyes, and look through the white paper to see through the words on another piece of paper to see what it writes. ”

"Okay." Huo Zongtang agreed, and then gathered his spiritual power in his eyes as requested. In his pupils, a trace of abnormal blue light flashed, which was very magical.

Liu Qingqing stood two meters away holding a white piece of paper, "Can you see the words written on the paper through perspective?" ”

Huo Zongtang looked at the white paper hard, and the blue glow in his eyes became stronger. But he held on for more than ten seconds and said with some disappointment: "I can't see it." It feels like you're far away beyond the reach of my psychic superpowers. ”

Liu Qingqing stood a little closer: "Can you see it now?" ”

Huo Zongtang continued to try, shook his head and said: "Through the white paper, I can see the handwriting on the back paper, but it is very blurry, and I can't see what is written." ”

Liu Qingqing continued to stand forward, only about a meter away from Huo Zongtang.

Huo Zongtang looked at it again, and his face showed a hint of joy. "Okay, I can see it clearly, the first word is Ben, the second is Gu, and the third is ...... Well, the whole sentence is connected to this: this girl...... Beautiful? ”
