Chapter 4: Illusions
Although a major event occurred in the Li family's sacrifice and prayer, the relatives and subordinates waiting outside the ancestral hall did not know it. Li Xing walked out of the inner hall with a few children, and looked at the family members and the servants around him and announced the express indication of the nine gates of gossip.
Of course, this is made up by Li Xing, after all, the changes on the way were interrupted, and this matter cannot be used by outsiders, in order not to make others suspicious, this can only be a decision, fortunately, what he asked this year is the matter of the temple in the court, Li Xing has also been up and down in the court of the Shengyao Empire for more than 30 years, and he said ambiguously and finally fooled everyone over, and then it was a big banquet in the clan.
The family feast was naturally the happiest time for the whole clan, and the noise was almost midnight, and everyone slowly dispersed due to fatigue. Four-year-old Li Jiahao followed his mother-in-law Gui Xiyan to sit beside Li Xing, and when he saw that the people were gradually dispersed, he just wanted to take Li Jiahao to get up and return to the room, but he didn't think that Li Xing would speak first: "Xiyan, you go back to the room first to rest, I have something to say with Jiahao to go back later." β
"It's so late, you have to go to the morning court tomorrow, if you have anything to say to Jiahao, let's talk about it tomorrow. Besides, today's sacrifice and use of the Nine Gates Bagua Array will also consume you a lot, so let's do it tomorrow. Gui Xiyan looked at Li Xing, who was sitting next to him, and was quite distressed, and took Li Xing's hand and stroked it gently.
"Yan'er, it's okay, I found out that Jia Hao has the image of a great talent at today's sacrifice, and there are also hints in the Nine Gates Bagua Array, looking for Jia Hao tonight is also for the road to Jia Hao's success in the future, and it can't be delayed. Li Xing replied solemnly, pulled away the hand held by Gui Xiyan, got up and glanced at Li Jiahao, then turned around and walked to the back hall.
Li Jiahao, who was sitting next to his parents, saw his father's eyes and hurriedly got up.
"Mother, the child can go back as soon as he goes, you can go back to the room to rest first. β
"Okay, be careful not to fall. Gui Xiyan looked helplessly at the two who walked towards the back hall.
Li Jiahao followed behind Li Xing, Li Xing didn't speak and walked by himself, not knowing what he was thinking, Li Jiahao followed behind his father, naturally he didn't dare to make a sound, and when he arrived at the study, Li Xing sat directly on the bench, Li Jiahao closed the door and stood in front of his father. A space in the center of the room lit up with a hum, and a soft fluctuation spread out and wrapped the study, and Li Xing slowly relaxed and leaned back in the chair.
"Jiahao, do you feel uncomfortable?" Li Xing stretched out his hand to Li Jiahao's wrist and felt it.
"No, I feel good about my father, and it seems that my strength has increased. Saying that, Li Jiahao compared his fist smaller than himself.
"I almost broke the cup when I was eating today, and I saw that the porcelain cup I was holding was cracked one by one before I hurriedly let go, otherwise I would have made a fool of myself at dinner. Li Jiahao said to Li Xing with a smile.
"It seems that you have gained a lot today because of this man in black, so you took off your shirt and let me see the mark that the man in black gave you. Li Xing looked at Li Jiahao lovingly, watching him take off his clothes, his eyes were instantly fixed by the mark on Li Jiahao's left chest, and his face changed slightly.
"What's wrong with my father? Is there anything wrong?" Li Jiahao took off his clothes and naturally saw this Sanskrit seal, and he was also uneasy when he saw Li Xing's face suddenly change.
"The magic spell mark, and it is such a complex spell mark pattern, it is unheard of. Li Xing muttered softly.
"Jiahao, do you feel that someone is talking to you in your mind, or there is something bad in your heart?" Li Xing suddenly became nervous, grabbed Li Jiahao's little hand, and stared at him sharply.
"It hurts, father, lighten it up, I don't feel anything. Li Jiahao's little face was painful because Li Xing grabbed him too hard.
"I really don't feel anything? I can't lie to my father, I just hint at you in my heart, if you don't say it, you have to tell me. β
Li Xing still held on to it, this is bitter, Li Jiahao is only four years old after all, how can he afford Li Xing to be so vigorous, and his little hands are almost green.
"Father, it's really not, let go quickly, it hurts. Saying that, tears appeared in the corners of Li Jiahao's eyes, and Li Xing realized that he was too nervous, and his little son was hurt, so he hurriedly let go of Li Jiahao's little hand.
"I'm sorry, Jiahao, my father didn't mean to, he was just too nervous. Li Xing said apologetically to Li Jiahao.
"Father, what did you just say is the magic spell mark?" Li Jiahao sighed when he saw his father let go, but he had never seen his father so nervous, and he couldn't help but be a little curious about what his father said.
Li Xing pondered for a moment, and seemed to have made up his mind to look at Jia Hao's eyes, very solemn. "Jia Hao, there are some things you don't need to know now, but now that you really see this magic spell seal, I have to let you know the truth earlier. β
"Jia Hao, the man in black you saw during the day today is an illusion, you already knew this before, but the illusion is only the common name of the Taiya continent, and our human race has a simpler name, the heart demon. β
This kind of demon is different from the demon you know, unlike some people who are afraid of water and dare not swim all their lives, it is a human instinctive rejection. This kind of inner demon is conscious and thoughtful, he will subtly affect you as you grow, as long as you are a living being, every action, every reaction, every thought you make may be bewitched, and you think that what is obviously wrong is correct, and you are convinced. β
"The illusion has a great impact on people's psychology, but this is not his greatest ability, this is just for him to fully control the first move you take, when you fully accept the illusionary mind in your heart, the formation of the illusion spell mark, the deeper the acceptance of the illusion of the demon thought will be, the more complex the illusion spell mark will be, and when the spell mark is fully formed, then he will carry out the second step. β
"What's the second step?" Li Jiahao looked at his father nervously.
"The second step is to be you, to be the second you. Li Xing looked at Li Jiahao. "This second step is the real killer move, the illusion will become a person exactly like you, with all your abilities and memories, outsiders can't tell at all, then the illusion will use your face, in a place you don't know to do things that go against the principles of heaven, so that you are abandoned by the world, when you are cornered, transform into another appearance to give you the infinite power to resist the pursuit, and people are at that time when the mind is the most fragile, once you accept the illusion can take away you, completely control you, then you lose control of the body is completely like an outsider, watching the illusion manipulate your body in your body, and then carry out his third stepγ β
"The third step is to clear your name, control yourself by forging the illusion of magic, and kill a magic puppet to regain the world's acceptance, and then use your appearance and abilities to secretly collude with the forces to cause trouble, and you are only willing to watch you die with hatred in the end. Li Xing lowered his voice as he spoke.
"Father, why do you know so much about illusions? We all know about illusions, can't we avoid them? I remember you said that knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will win all battles. Li Jiahao looked at his father so embarrassed by the illusion, but it didn't feel like a big deal when he heard it, and he couldn't help but feel that his father attached so much importance to the illusion.
Li Xing looked at his youngest son who was not afraid of heaven and earth, and he was still very worried in his heart, and he didn't want his youngest son to have too many boring thoughts, so it was better to let his youngest son maintain an optimistic attitude and did not answer.
Li Xing was able to know so much about the trajectory of the illusion demon was naturally the blood and tears of the human race and other races, coupled with the fact that the peak master of the One Transformation Realm returned to the light before his death, and dictated the illusion control process, he summed up a magic control path. Three hundred years ago, the illusion demon manipulated the four clans through various means, and finally instigated a continent-wide war, countless families were displaced, and the Shengyao Empire also rose from that time.
(The realm of magic and martial arts in the Taiya continent is divided into three realms, and the four realms are one realm, and each realm is divided into ten sections.) The initial realm, the yuan realm, the return realm, and the transformation realm into the human realm. The Fuhu Realm, the Taiyin Realm, the Taixu Realm, and the Qiankun Realm are the heavenly realms. Shuntian, anti-sky, Doutian, breaking the sky for the god realm)
Li Xing tapped twice from a very hidden corner of the desk, only to hear a sound of the machine turning, and a dark drawer popped out of the right corner of the desk.
"Jia Hao, there is a bodhicitta record here, which was obtained by my father when he was young and traveled to the mainland with great effort, this is a very peculiar book of mind, its main function is to cultivate the mind and raise the realm, maintain the emptiness of the spiritual platform and improve the realm at the same time. β
Li Jiahao looked curiously at the book that his father handed him, the title of the book on the cover was vigorous and powerful, and the four big characters of Bodhicitta were written, there was nothing peculiar to the touch, it was very thin, and it felt like two or three pages. Li Jiahao wanted to open it and find that the pages were all blank, and he couldn't help but look at Li Xing with some doubts.
"Father, why is this book blank, and I don't feel anything strange?" said Li Jiahao shook the book with his hand, as if there was something hidden in it and wanted to pour it out.
"Hahaha, son, you don't understand this, you think about the title of the book. Li Xing smiled and looked at Li Jiahao, who was fiddling with his mind on the side.
"The name of the book is Bodhicitta Records, Father. β
"That's right, since it's a heart record, of course you can't see it with your eyes, you have to feel it with your heart. And the most peculiar thing about this method is that there is no upper limit, and it is inclusive of everything. β
Li Jiahao was interested at this time, and looked at Li Xing: "Father, what does it mean to be inclusive?"
"My father doesn't know the origin of this mental method, but I know that this is the most primitive original method of heaven and earth. Son, you should know that ordinary people pay attention to the mutual cultivation of life and life, and generally only practice two complementary exercises in order to maximize the attributes of the exercises, and practicing too many exercises is not only difficult to reconcile but also easy to go mad. But if you practice this bodhichitta method, you don't have this kind of worries, as long as you learn any exercises in the future that are combined with bodhichitta records, you can use each other, even if the two exercises are mutually restrictive, you can use them without going mad, and at the same time, other exercises will also improve along with the level of the bodhicitta realm, which can be said to be the top basic exercises. If you put away this book, you must practice diligently every day in the future. Li Xing took out a space ring from another drawer of his desk and handed it to Li Jiahao.
"In the future, you will store the book and other miscellaneous items in this ring, originally the ring was intended to be given to you for your 5th birthday, it is given to you in advance, I will ask someone to clear out an independent courtyard, and you will live there alone in the future, and no one will disturb you in cultivation, and you have a curse mark on your body, ordinary people may not understand, but it is inevitable that people with a heart will pay attention to it and cause unnecessary trouble, so don't let outsiders see it." Today I said so much that you should know the dangers of illusions, there is an unwritten rule on the mainland, those who see the curse seal will kill them together. Jia Hao, I hope you can understand your father's hardship. Li Xing held Li Jiahao's shoulders with both hands, and his heart was full of worries about his most beloved youngest son in the future.
Li Jiahao also felt the deep worry in his father's eyes, and smiled: "Father, don't worry, the child will work hard." β
Seeing Li Jiahao's smiling face, Li Xing's worry dropped slightly, and he watched Li Jiahao say the true thoughts in his heart: "I thought about it for a long time today, and finally felt that Bodhicitta is suitable for you because of his inclusiveness, since the illusion demon controls people because of his own ability, it means that it is also a unique practice for their illusion demons, if Jiahao has the opportunity in the future, maybe he can use it for you through the inclusive refining of the Bodhicitta record, maybe it will have a miraculous effect, but I just guess that after all, no one has ever seen the illusion cultivation." I think the reason why you can't feel the influence of illusion is because you are still young, and the heart of a child is the purest soul without flaws, maybe when you start to contact real cultivation at the age of 10, the influence of illusion will slowly appear. So, Jia Hao, from now on, you have to work hard to cultivate the bodhicitta to minimize the influence of the illusion and even get rid of him. β
"Well, I'll be my father, don't worry. β
....................................
"............" A sound of water broke the silence of the bath, and Li Jiahao, who was soaked in the water, woke up. "I fell asleep, and I dreamed of the age of four again. Li Jiahao's right hand stroked the curse mark on his heart, which had almost covered half of his left chest, and he didn't feel anything, and the lines seemed to have been integrated with Li Jiahao's flesh and blood.
"There are still 2 years before I officially enroll. Bodhicitta has also been cultivated for four years, and last night it was also the 8th stage of the initial realm. The road is still long, why doesn't this illusion react at all, I still want to see if Bodhicitta can refine and fuse you. Li Jiahao thought a little depressed.
I don't know if it's strengthened by the spell seal, Li Jiahao has a very strong sense of all kinds of energy, especially the dark attribute. Bodhicitta is the original method of heaven and earth, and there is no attribute restriction when cultivating, naturally it makes Li Jiahao like a fish in water, and the dark attribute of the spirit in vitro is already pure, so every night of cultivation becomes to let the dark attribute fill the body with one brain, until the body can no longer bear it and then use the bodhicitta to refine, which also creates Li Jiahao's cultivation speed far beyond the broad meridians and terrifying of his age.
Li Jiahao came out of the bath, changed into new clothes that his subordinates put outside the door, and decided to go to the practice room after thinking for a long time.
When Li Jiahao was six years old, Li Xing asked Li Jiahao to learn some basic physical exercises, one is to strengthen the body, and the other is to lay a physical foundation for Li Jiahao to learn advanced exercises in the future. In the basic exercises, Li Jiahao likes Jiu-Jitsu the most, winning with skill, and dialing thousands of catties in four or two. After all, Li Jiahao is still limited by his body, some of the more rigid basic physical techniques are not suitable for learning, and the inability to play an effect in a fight naturally makes Li Jiahao lack of interest, Jiu-Jitsu pays attention to borrowing strength, which is naturally suitable for Li Jiahao, who is still young now, especially when Li Jiahao was 7 years old, he successfully made Jiu-Jitsu exercises be refined by Bodhicitta Record, and directly raised Jiu-Jitsu exercises to 6 levels It also gave Li Jiahao a big surprise, which made Li Jiahao very excited, and tasted the sweetness of the exercises given to him by his father, and his cultivation was even more diligent.
