Chapter 6: The Practice Begins
For a few days after the end of the experiment, Hirata stayed in Namek's cabin, and it was Brother Zhu Xiao who took care of him. Xiaolan originally wanted to take care of him, but was rejected by Sister Chuan on the grounds of safety......
Listen, security issues......
In the past two days, Hirata worked hard to move his dog's legs, and finally was able to walk, sit and lie down. However, just like the cerebral thrombosis that has been healed for many years, it gives people the feeling that they are embarrassed to pass by his side without throwing away two dollars......
One afternoon, Hirata was chatting with Brother Zhu while moving his dog's legs.
"Brother Zhu, I still want to know more about this test, you can tell me about it."
Zhu Xiao was reading a book when he heard Hirata ask him, he put the book down and Hirata said, "What do you want to know?" ”
"I'm curious how this test shifted my consciousness?" Hirata struggled to walk over to the chair in front of Brother Zhu and sit down, "And I still want to know something about cultivation." ”
"Is this ...... It's actually simple. Brother Zhu straightened his glasses, "Only when a person dies will his consciousness be transferred to the soul." The test a few days ago was actually to make you fake your death for a while. ”
"Oh? So I'm the one who died once? Hirata sighed lightly, although this kind of thing sounds quite scary, but Hirata's nerves are much thicker now.
"Let's just say that. However, this is artificially controlled after all, and there is a difference between it and the transfer of consciousness after death in nature. Brother Zhu paused for a moment, and then said, "Ordinary people have a period of confusion for about seven days after death, during which the soul has no specific consciousness. After seven days, the soul will be able to realize itself and will be able to act on its own. However, due to the absence of a physical body, the average soul will not last long in the void world before dissipating. Brother Zhu paused to give Hirata time to react, and then said, "Those hell guys are the underworld responsible for guiding them before their souls dissipate. ”
"Huh? There are so many people in the world, I don't remember many people in hell, right? Can you get busy? Hirata asked suspiciously.
"The hellish guys came up with a good solution and solved the problem." Brother Zhu said with a smile, "They will give a command to the soul before every soul enters the underworld, and this command can exist for one or two reincarnations, that is: within seven days after death, they must gather at the designated place. After thousands of years of hard work, most of the souls have now been taken away during the period of confusion, and only a small part of the souls are still in the human world. Of course, this small part is relative to the population base, and in fact, the total number is quite a lot, but it is much easier to manage than before. ”
"Heh, I see, I'll really figure it out." Hirata said thoughtfully.
"Well, hell's approach is good, but it doesn't solve the problem entirely. Those fish that slipped through the net will be handed over to us to solve, and you will be exposed to this work in the future. By the way, Brother Zhu popularized some knowledge to Hirata.
"I have one more question." Hirata thought for a moment and then asked, "You mentioned 'psychic powers' to me last time. What does that mean? ”
"Originally, you shouldn't be able to reach it in the short term, but looking at the situation of you going to the earth in two days, it is estimated that you will be able to have your own spiritual ability in three or five months." Speaking of this, Brother Zhu paused for a moment, picked up a book in each hand, "Let me explain to you what spiritual power is." After you cultivate the spirit body, the spirit will eat away at the physical body...... You understand it as a fusion, like these two books. As he spoke, he placed the two books on the table some distance apart.
"You see, this is the process of cultivation, so that the two overlap each other." Brother Zhu used his hand to move the two books closer to the middle, and finally overlapped each other. "But in this overlapping process, you get something that's just yours. About 5% of the overlap and you'll get a psionic weapon; Approximately 10% of the overlap will give you exclusive special abilities, which are psionic abilities. Speaking of this, Brother Zhu knew that Hirata was curious, and added, "As for why, there is no conclusive statement yet." At present, the popular saying is that due to the deep connection between the real and the virtual world, and the relatively independent existence of individual individuals, the resulting conceptual attributes are concretized, and due to the dimensional influence of the rules of the world......"
"Ahh Yes! I said Lao Zhu......" Hirata interrupted Lao Zhu with a painful face, "Xiaolan must have a common language with you." Although I was curious, I felt like I was under mental attack......"
"Well, well, I don't think you need that knowledge either." Brother Zhu sighed, and then asked Hirata with a smile: "Who did you call Lao Zhu just now?" When and how did we get close? Little Brother Hirata. ”
Hirata waved his hand and diverted the topic with a serious face: "Comrade Zhu, please don't divert the topic." What we are currently discussing is a major event in the scientific community, so please do not get into personal feelings. ”
"Then I'll explain it to you? Because there is a connection between the real and the imaginary world, it is relatively ......"
"Brother! My dear brother! I'm wrong, can't I admit my mistake to the organization? Hirata said with a look of regret/grievance/heartache, "I made an ideological and moral mistake, violated the organization's expectations of me, and the expectations of my comrades ...... me."
"Alright, alright." Brother Zhu waved his hand, crying and laughing, "You don't need to go online, I'm also joking." It's up to you to shout whatever you want in the future. ”
"Hahaha, I knew that Lao Zhu would be able to mingle with the masses. Last time I heard Xiaolan call you too, you see how close you are, even a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl can joke with you......"
"Can Xiao Lan manage it? Do you dare to care? Lao Zhu interrupted Hirata's praise and asked rhetorically.
Hirata was stunned for a moment, and then said with a tangled face: "Then I really don't dare to care......"
The two ran for a long time, and finally Hirata pulled the topic back in time.
"By the way, Lao Zhu, I want to ask you something. What's your weapon? What is psionic power? Show me. Hirata looked excited, for the second-year youth, superpowers are the beginning of saving the world!
"Well, I'm different from you, how can I say it......" Lao Zhu was not infected by the excitement, "To put it simply, I am a demon clan, and if the demon clan cultivates our system, it will not have spiritual ability, and even spiritual weapons are rarely possessed." ”
"Why is that?"
"It's complicated to explain." Lao Zhu put his hand against his chin, lowered his head and thought for a moment, "Let me tell you simply: human beings only need to combine 5% of reality and fiction to influence the laws of the world." The 'existence' of demons is much weaker than that of humans, and demons may have to fuse 40% or more to influence the laws of the world. So in general, the number of spirit weapons possessed by demons is much smaller. ”
"Oh, I see." Hirata nodded and said, "Then Lao Zhu, do you have a spirit weapon?" ”
"I do have it, but it's just a knife, nothing to look at, I'll show it to you when I have a chance in the future."
"Okay then." Hirata saw that Lao Zhu didn't wait, and he didn't force it. He asked Lao Zhu: "What are Sister Chuan and Xiao Lan?" ”
"Sister Chuan, you can ask yourself, I don't know. Xiao Lan has no spiritual powers...... Neither are weapons. Lao Zhu paused for a moment, and added, "Xiao Lan is the same as me, she is also a demon clan, and her body is a swallow." ”
"Huh? You're talking about a little swallow in a flower dress? ”
"That's it, you're right."
Hearing this message of a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Hirata's whole person was Spartan.
What did such a cute and touching little swallow go through to become the experimental/corpse lover it is today? I guess the story of what happened in this must be more than 100,000 words, right?
Hirata asked in a hoarse, low voice, "What really happened?" His gaze was filled with sadness and curiosity.
"Well, that's an unlucky girl." Lao Zhu sighed before he could speak, "She had a shadow in her childhood, don't ask about the specifics, don't ask her, although it has been a long time, but this is always a pain." However, Xiao Lan is not a psychopath, her current appearance is just a kind of protection for herself......" Speaking of this, Lao Zhu sighed again: "You will know about her in the future." ”
"Is it......" Hirata saw that Lao Zhu didn't want to say anything, so he changed the question, "Then how long will Lao Zhu's cerebral thrombosis state last?" ”
"It's a matter of fate, from a few days to a few years...... Let it be. ”
Hirata: "......"
………………………………………………………………………………………………
After the conversation between Hirata and Lao Zhu, another week passed, and Hirata was already free to control his body (congratulations), and the hospital trio decided that it was better to start practicing on Hirata sooner rather than later. In the end, through the method of drawing lots, Xiaolan became Hirata's teacher.
"Yo, morning, Sister Xiaolan." Early in the morning, Hirata appeared in the basement with a hippie smile.
(PS: Now Hirata lives in one of the four "lounges" of the hospital.) )
Hirata was wearing a tracksuit and had a short hair cut on his head (in order to observe Hirata's body, Hirata could not leave the hospital yet, and it was cut with a scalpel by Sister Chuan. ), energetic and full of emotion, greeted Xiaolan.
"Morning, Brother Tian, ha-" Xiao Lan yawned as she greeted her.
Xiaolan is still a white coat + shorts and shorts. It's just that the spirit is not very good, and it looks like he hasn't woken up.
"Girl, what's wrong with you? Stayed up late last night? Hirata asked with concern.
"Well, I didn't sleep well last night. Ha-" Xiao Lan said and yawned again, "The experiment has encountered a bottleneck in the past few days, and it is annoying. ”
Hearing that it was a scientific matter, Hirata didn't ask, these days to see Xiaolan's outdoor experiments either exploded or flesh and blood, looking like a young girl, but in fact Frankenstein, Hirata gave up asking rationally for his own three views.
"Brother Tian, you do the preparatory activities first, and I'll go wash my face and sober up." Xiao Lan said a word to Hirata and walked to the river.
Hirata didn't say anything, just stretched out his arms and shook his legs on the spot, and sang loudly while twitching: "What's under the girl's skirt?" Why do boys blush when they hear this? What's under a girl's skirt? Why do boys always want to open it? Girl's underskirt ......"
(Remember this song (╯▽╰)...... )
When Hirata's activities were almost over, Xiaolan also returned from the river.
"Then let's get started." Xiaolan didn't talk nonsense either, and went directly into the teaching mode, "First of all, theoretical knowledge. ”
"Ah, it's a theory again. It's been a lot lately......"
"I understand, you don't understand." Xiao Lan squinted at Hirata, "Everything must be based on theory, and theory is linked to practice. Now that you're listening, I'll explain to you what exactly you practice. ”
To be honest, Xiaolan, a cute girl, rolls her eyes, and it's pretty good-looking......
After a pause, Xiao Lan continued: "The first is to use your soul to absorb the spirit son, the role of the spirit son is equivalent to physical strength, it is the basis for you to launch spiritual ability and Taoism, you can't do anything without spiritual power......
"Excuse me, what is Daojutsu?" Hirata raised his hand and asked.
"Taoism is magic, you can call it magic or something. Dao power is used to launch Dao arts, which is a kind of power produced by the mixing of spiritual power and life energy, which can be said to be a secondary energy source. Xiao Lan explained in detail, "Brother Tian, after your soul absorbs the spirit son, the soul becomes stronger, and you can directly activate your spiritual ability. But other powers, such as spells, runes, or fireballs, all need to use Dao power, and Dao power mixed with life energy can have the ability to influence the real world. Kindness...... Got it? ”
"Understood, Mr. Xiaolan! But ......," Hirata continued, "what is life energy?" ”
"Well...... Simply put, it's physical strength. Xiaolan replied, "Is there any more questions?" ”
"It's gone!"
"Then listen to me, sink your breath, and feel it slowly. You are now directly in control of the soul and you should be able to feel a slight sense of oppression, that is, spiritual pressure, you have to have the heart to feel it......"
Hirata listened to Koarashi's words, closed his eyes, breathed slowly, and felt everything around him with his heart.
After a while, Hirata felt it......
Feeling hungry......
I really should have had breakfast and come back to play, I made a mistake.
