Volume 1: Induction Section 15: Kaiyuan

The alarm clock rang for the second time, Zhang Su fed Pu Zitong a drop of spiritual cultivation liquid again, Pu Zitong's face was much better than before, his upper body seemed to have regained consciousness, he twisted back and forth a few times, and his waist and abdomen could move, but his limbs didn't seem to have recovered, and his two arms were still hanging down on his sides, feeling lifeless.

"It's already the third drop, and there's one more drop you'll be fully recovered." Seeing that Pu Zitong's recovery was not bad, Zhang Su reassured.

"Although it's a deal, but thank you for it, I don't know if you're really trustworthy or because you're a coward, your hands and feet are quite regular." Pu Zitong replied with a smile.

Zhang glanced at Pu Zitong: "If you mean something that threatens me, I can only tell you that you think too much, even if I do something to you tonight, cook the raw rice into rice, you and your Pu family will really hunt me down?" I don't touch you just because my principles of life don't allow me to do some dirty things, and it has nothing to do with your threats. ”

Pu Zitong heard what Zhang Su meant, and saw that Zhang Su didn't seem to be talking big, so he shut up stupidly, although he didn't think that Zhang Su was a decent gentleman, but he also had a good impression of Zhang Su, at least he felt that Zhang Su was not too bad.

"I'll help you become a soul master tonight!"

Because of the previous bickering, the two people in the room were silent with each other for a while, and then Pu Zitong took the lead in speaking.

"Now?"

Zhang Su was a little surprised by Pu Zitong's active request, he thought that Pu Zitong said that he would help him become a soul master in the training hall of Heavenly Soul Castle.

"That's right, it's also good for me that you become a soul master as soon as possible, with the identity of a soul master, and then declare that you are my boyfriend, others won't be too suspicious, of course, for you, you will also have more self-protection ability when facing those competitors, and the sooner you practice the soul summoning soul technique, the greater the help for you." Pu Zitong explained.

"Yes, yes, but there is less than half a night to go, can it be done in such a short time? Didn't you say that it was hard to become a soul master? Zhang asked puzzled.

"Of course it can be done, in our Pu family, almost everyone can become a soul master, not because of how talented the people of our Pu family are, but because our Pu family has mastered the law of becoming a soul master, most soul master families know this law, including the soul hunting company, the reason why the soul hunting company is difficult is because the soul hunting company is selected according to the elite model, and those who are considered elites are not only born with qualified soul power, but also test their thinking flexibility, otherwise even if they become soul masters, there will be some shortcomings, It will not have any advantage in ghost hunting and soul hunting and competition with soul masters of other forces, so the first thing the soul hunting company does when training newcomers is usually to test the newcomer's understanding. Pu Zitong explained thoughtfully.

"I see!" Zhang Su heard Pu Zitong's description of the Soul Hunting Company, and sighed puzzled.

"It's not just the soul master realm, in fact, the human world is the same, it's just that you haven't noticed, there are a few people in all walks of life who can really become the top, in addition to trying to run forward, the people behind must also find and be witty in time to avoid the traps set by the people in front, otherwise even if you run fast, you will be caught by clips and tripped by banana peels if you don't pay attention, which is also a test of comprehensive survivability." Pu Zitong snorted coldly.

"I didn't see it, you are a year younger than me, you can understand so many truths." Zhang Su couldn't help but praise.

"Don't waste time, I will tell you the trick of becoming a soul master, so that you can be more or less opportunistic, but this does not mean that you don't need to work hard yourself, the actual operation is far more complicated than the theory I told you, and if you can't do the corresponding effect after the theory, it is useless." Pu Zitong reminded.

"Let's get started!" Zhang Su nodded.

Pu Zitong took a deep breath and began to explain the first step to Zhang Su: Kaiyuan.

According to Pu Zitong's introduction, Zhang Su learned that Kaiyuan is out of the body, human beings have some ghost legends since ancient times that mention the relevant content of the soul out of the body, and there is a saying that the soul is out of the body in ancient books, these are false legends in the eyes of most people, or feudal superstition, in fact, even the real soul master will not admit these things to the public, as much as possible not to expose all kinds of information about the soul world, to avoid causing panic in the human world.

The opening of the soul master realm can be understood as the opening of the Tao Yuan Infant, which is roughly the same meaning, but the Yuan Infant is not cultivated, but found, everyone has a Yuan Infant in the body, but this Yuan Infant is hidden relatively deep, so deep that it is not only hidden in the body, it is also hidden in the initial time level of people, with modern scientific explanation: the Yuan Infant is the coordinate origin of the four-dimensional space in the human body, and that origin is the Yuan Baby.

On the one hand, Pu Zitong applied Taoism, and on the other hand, there was modern science as a metaphor, and the explanation was very abstract, Zhang Su didn't understand, and looked at Pu Zitong blankly.

Seeing that Zhang Su didn't understand, Pu Zitong changed his way of explanation.

The reason why man is different from other creatures is mainly because man has a soul and spiritual consciousness, and the formation of a complete person is because the soul with the nascent spiritual consciousness chooses the human body to parasitize, and the soul, spiritual consciousness and human body are combined with each other, and man becomes a spiritual thing from a living being, and the trinity of soul, spiritual consciousness and body becomes the master of living beings.

The union of the soul, the spirit and the body is at the stage when the infant is just formed, that is, the soul with the newborn consciousness lodges in the body of the newborn baby, and this period is called the primordial infancy.

The infant will keep crying, because the combination of soul and body is not perfect, or the soul fluctuation and life rhythm do not achieve a perfect fit, the baby's newborn spirit consciousness feels this sense of disharmony between the soul and the body, and will naturally keep crying, but because the soul and body grow together, the fit between the two continues to increase, and over time, the soul and body will truly merge into one.

If people want to open the Yuan, if they want to achieve the separation of soul and body, they must break the fusion of soul and body, so that the soul fluctuation and life rhythm are no longer consistent, there are only two ways to achieve this, one is to let the life rhythm disappear, after death, the soul will leave the body; The other is to find the sense of disharmony between the soul fluctuation and the life rhythm in the infancy, and then find the subtle difference between the soul fluctuation and the life rhythm, magnify the difference, and disrupt the existing soul body fusion, and the complete person will become a soulless body and a soul with spiritual consciousness.

The combination of soul and body is through spiritual consciousness, spiritual consciousness is like a node on a rope, one end leads the soul, the other holds the body, and the sense of disharmony of the soul and body in the infancy period is hidden at the beginning of the spiritual consciousness, so the original infant actually refers to the original spiritual consciousness of people, people call it memory or consciousness, and it is almost the same meaning, looking for the infant refers to finding out the spiritual consciousness at the beginning of the infant period, and then finding the difference between the soul and the body, and people can do the soul out of the body while they are alive, which can also be said to be Kaiyuan.

Pu Zitong's explanation this time is quite easy to understand, although some names are more mysterious in Zhang Su's eyes, but in general, Zhang Su understands, the so-called Kaiyuan is to trace his original consciousness, of course, in the world of soul masters, this is called the original spiritual consciousness, all of which mean the same thing, but who can remember the consciousness of this infancy, especially when he grows up, Zhang Su doesn't know whether he was born crying or not, let alone having the feeling at that time.

"I see, which means I need to find the memories of my birth." Zhang Su concluded.

"It's not wrong for you to say that, but how much do you remember from your childhood, let alone the memories of your birth, what you have to find is the feeling of being born, it is hidden in your subconscious, and you need to experience it slowly." Pu Zitong corrected.

"I understand, it's the feeling of digging into the depths of consciousness about the incomplete fusion of the soul body, I would have understood it a long time ago when you said this, and it is so profound." Zhang Su complained.

"Hmph, the truth is understood, it's not easy to find, you need to understand it yourself." Pu Zitong glanced at Zhang Wei and snorted coldly.

"So how do I find that feeling? Meditate like a Taoist priest or monk? Zhang asked puzzled.

"I don't care what position you use! You just have to be able to concentrate on your spiritual consciousness calmly. Pu Zitong replied with a disdainful face.

Zhang Su pursed his lips, remembering that the masters on the painting are in the posture of meditating and participating in Zen meditation when they are practicing, presumably the best posture summed up in the practice of many years, since this is the case, it is better to follow the example of the ancients to give it a try, Zhang Su walked to his futon on the ground, sat on his futon, and put on a posture of meditating and participating in Zen, like a little Taoist priest who asks for immortals.

Pu Zitong saw Zhang Su posing in such a strange posture, and secretly laughed on the side, but he didn't really laugh out loud, for fear of disturbing Zhang Su Kaiyuan.

Time passed minute by minute, Zhang Su wandered in his spiritual sense, he recalled many things, from the past to the present, from study to work, and suddenly found that although his life is dull and uneventful, he has also experienced joys and sorrows and joys and sorrows in the past 20 years, the innocence of childhood, the pressure of school, the loneliness after leaving home, the growth after work, and his own ignorance from the beginning to the struggle for survival. Most of the knowledge and things I have learned and done are for the sake of being able to better protect myself and survive in a specific environment, and of course, to protect the people I cherish.

What is that sense of dissonance between soul fluctuations and the rhythm of life?

Zhang Su pondered and searched over and over again in his mind, the more he recalled the past, the more he felt that his memory was like a vast ocean, and what he wanted to do now was to find a pearl in this sea, and the memory was constantly opened like a coral at the bottom of the sea. The memories that sank to the bottom of the memory like mud and sand were stirred up, and chaos filled the whole mind, and Zhang Su suddenly had a feeling that his head was about to explode.

"Zhang Su! Calm down! ”

Just when Zhang Su was almost insane, a clear voice sounded from Zhang Su's side, shooting into Zhang Su's ears like an ice blade, pulling Zhang Su back from the boundless chaos of memory, and this voice naturally came out of Pu Zitong's mouth.

After being awakened by Pu Zitong's voice, Zhang Su fell to the ground all of a sudden, cold sweat broke out on his back, and his shirt and underwear were soaked.

After relieving for a while, Zhang Su rubbed his head lightly, his facial muscles trembled, and he said in fear: "I'm a good girl, I'm scared to death, I feel like my head is going to explode just now, but my consciousness seems to be stuck in a swamp, and I almost can't wake up." ”

"You idiot! I calm you down, let you find the purest and most ignorant newborn baby feeling, what are you doing? Looking for death? If I hadn't woken you up, your brain would have been deranged by now, and if you overrun the limit with your brain, the blood would have accelerated to the brain, and you would have almost burst your cerebral blood vessels and died! Pu Zitong scolded Zhang Su.

"Huh? Thank you! I also felt like I wasn't feeling good. After listening to Pu Zitong's words, Zhang Su hurriedly thanked him.

"Ah, you're big! Kaiyuan can't be in a hurry, you have to be calm to do it, the spiritual consciousness of the Yuan infant period is the purest, the more you think, the more impossible it is to find, do you understand? Pu Zitong reminded again.

"The purest? Oh, I see. Zhang Su suddenly realized, and he understood why Pu Zitong always emphasized the words baby and purity.

Zhang Su decided to soothe his head first, let the chaotic thoughts quickly subside from his mind, and then close his eyes and sit down again, and start Kaiyuan again.

This time, Zhang Su figured it out, since it is said that it is the feeling of the beginning of the person's birth, then it is necessary to find and simulate the state of the birth, what is the person like when he is born? Zhang Su thought about it for a while, the baby born must not understand anything, understand nothing, and have not dabbled in any thoughts in this world, just like the realm of "emptiness" or "nothing", blank as paper, ignorance and desireless, that is to say, only by emptying the mind can we truly experience that feeling, and after "emptiness" and "nothing", it is the appearance of the sense of incompatibility of the soul and body, as long as we grasp this feeling, we can achieve the separation of the soul and body.

According to this understanding, Zhang Su decided to empty his consciousness like an old monk, let himself be like an old monk who has no desires and no desires, block all interference from the outside world, sink the complex desires in his mind, and look for the feeling of "emptiness" and "nothingness".

Suddenly, Zhang Su's body trembled slightly at a certain moment, and a feeling of confusion came from his heart inexplicably, and then, his consciousness began to fluctuate, as if his body was also out of the control of consciousness, as if his body no longer belonged to him, struggling independently.

After a while, this feeling became more and more intense, so strong that even if Zhang Su wanted to control his body, he found that he was almost powerless, because of fright, Zhang Su subconsciously stood up, and after getting up, Zhang Su lowered his head and found that there seemed to be another self still sitting on the futon, quietly cross-legged and meditating, and when he stood up, he had a feeling similar to nothingness, which should be the so-called soul, and the reason why Zhang Su knew that it was his soul was because Zhang Su had already felt himself in a soul stateNot long ago, Zhang Su's soul was pulled out of his body by Fan Zengming, and his current soul appearance is exactly the same as it was at that time.

"Not bad, yes, there is potential, although it was completed under my guidance, but it can be successfully opened in an hour, and this result is not bad in our Pu family." Pu Zitong praised with a smile.

"How long does it take for your Pu family to open the yuan?" Zhang Su was already speaking in the soul state.

"In our Pu family, most of the Kaiyuan of the clan is after the coming-of-age ceremony, and they need to go through the assessment to determine that they have mature thinking ability, and the Pu family will allow Kaiyuan, and most of the people's Kaiyuan time is one to two days, and the talent will be completed within half a day." Pu Zitong replied.

"Then I'm pretty talented." After listening to Pu Zitong's answer, Zhang Su was a little proud.

"Well, your talent is considered superior in our Pu family, the Kaiyuan time of the top talent does not exceed half an hour, there are five soul masters of this kind of talent in our Pu family, not counting a few elders, the Pu family also has a young soul master with a top talent, who is as old as me, and it only took five minutes to complete Kaiyuan, that person is called Pu Jianchen, and he also participated in this competition to recruit relatives, you must hide far away when you see him, he is very strong."

Before Zhang Su was happy for a while, Pu Zitong poured a basin of cold water on Zhang Su's head.

"Okay, let's talk about it later, I've memorized the feeling of being out of the body, and I can open the yuan at any time, can you tell me how to get the soul back into the body again? I can't seem to go back on my own. ”

Zhang Su remembered Pu Jianchen's name, but the future is still two things, and what Zhang Su is concerned about now is how to go back to his soul that has left his body.

"Can't go back!" Pu Zitong replied.

"Can't go back?" Zhang Su didn't know what Pu Zitong meant, and asked suspiciously.

"Well, you can't get the soul back into your body yourself." Pu Zitong continued.

"What then?" Zhang Su asked with a frightened face, he was now worried that if the soul could not return to the body, there would be something wrong with his body.

"The ability to regain the soul is cultivated at the Yang God stage, and only then can you be able to fuse the soul body again." Pu Zitong explained.

"Then how do I get to the Yang God stage?" Zhang asked hurriedly.

"Don't worry, there's still one step between Kaiyuan and Yang Shen, didn't you hear it in the conference hall before?" Seeing Zhang Su's nervous appearance, Pu Zitong just smiled, but he didn't panic at all.

"You're talking about distraction?" Zhang Su remembered the three steps of soul master training mentioned in the previous meeting.

"That's right, I'll continue to teach you how to distract yourself."

Pu Zitong replied.
