Volume 1: Induction Section 16: Distraction
"What is distraction?" Zhang Su tried to let his soul wander in the room, and asked Pu Zitong.
"Since you have Kaiyuan, then it is not difficult to understand that distraction is not difficult to understand, after Kaiyuan, your spiritual consciousness is separated from the body with the soul, so spiritual consciousness, that is, your consciousness, can only control the soul now, and distraction is simply the ability to control the soul and body at the same time with spiritual consciousness." Pu Zitong explained.
"Psionics can control both the soul and the body?" Zhang asked puzzled.
"Naturally, spiritual consciousness is the link between the soul and the body, even if the soul and body are separated, this link will not be broken, then it can control the soul and the body at the same time, so that the two can move at the same time, and the body can still be active after leaving the soul." Pu Zitong nodded.
"In other words, as long as I learn to be distracted, I won't have much of a problem in a state of soul separation for a long time." Zhang said.
"It can be understood in this way, but not all right, after distraction, the spiritual consciousness can control the operation of the body and maintain the activity of the body, but this does not mean that the body can always be active after losing the soul, the distraction is only able to maintain the synchronous movement of the body and delay the speed of the body's inactivation, if the soul of ordinary people is separated from the body, the body will be ossified in a day or so, the soul can not return to the body again, but the body still has vital signs, and it has entered the so-called state of suspended animation, and if the body is controlled by the spiritual consciousness at the same time, it will be as short as three or five days, For thirty or fifty days, the body is still active, and the soul body can be combined again, of course, this depends on the soul master's control of the spiritual sense. Pu Zitong corrected.
Zhang Su was stunned and continued to ask, "How should I cultivate my spiritual sense to reach the realm of distraction?" ”
"Wave Control Soul!" Pu Zitong uttered an unfamiliar word.
Zhang Su naturally didn't understand what it meant to control the soul of wave, so he could only look at Pu Zitong blankly and shake his head.
Pu Zitong continued to explain: "The fundamental reason why the spirit mind controls the soul and the body is to control the soul fluctuation and the life rhythm on the body, the life rhythm can also be called life fluctuations, nerve fluctuations, simply put, the spirit mind controls the two fluctuations of the soul and the body, and the wave control of the soul is to let the spirit control these two fluctuations at the same time, and the general spiritual consciousness is more dependent on the soul, so after the soul body is separated, the soul side will be chosen, just like you are now, the spirit can control the soul rather than the body, But this does not mean that the spiritual consciousness has lost the ability to control the fluctuations of life, but this control ability is hidden in the subconscious, as long as you can find out the feeling of the spiritual consciousness in the subconscious about the fluctuations of life, the spiritual consciousness can control the body again, and the distraction will be successfully cultivated. ”
"That is to say, the method of distraction is similar to Kaiyuan, according to the fluctuation characteristics of the soul body to control and control, and then to the extent of controlling the soul and body at the same time, Kaiyuan is to find the difference in the fluctuation of the soul body, and the distraction is similar to the control of the extension, and the two with the difference are controlled by the spiritual sense, so as to achieve simultaneous control." Zhang Su understood and summarized it briefly.
"Yes, yes, understand very quickly, spiritual consciousness is like the human brain or nerve center, soul and body are two kinds of organs, the information feedback between the brain and organs is controlled by fluctuations, spiritual consciousness receives information from the soul and body, and then feeds back the judgment made to the soul and body, and the soul and body can act at the same time, because the information obtained by spiritual consciousness comes from the soul and body at the same time, and the soul and body realize information sharing, and the body can also perceive the world of the soul, and the soul can also perceive the world of the body. You can achieve distraction, open the yin and yang eyes, and in the simplest words: people can be psychic. ”
Pu Zitong elaborated on the characteristics of distraction in more detail, but in Zhang Su's opinion, Pu Zitong was somewhat suspicious of selling knowledge, especially when it came to distraction, Pu Zitong seemed to be a little arrogant, Zhang Su couldn't help but think of something, and suddenly reacted.
"Psychic? When I watched you and Cao Xuanqing fighting souls, I felt that you were very similar to a certain image in film and television dramas, but I couldn't tell where it looked, and now I finally understand, isn't the image of some psychics just able to control many souls, which is very similar to your Pu family's drama soul technique, which can control many souls at a time, that is to say, the prototype of the psychic is your Pu family? Zhang asked in surprise.
"That's right, although once you become a soul master, you can be psychic, but when it comes to soul control skills, our soul master Pu family can be said to be the first in the territory of the soul master, the soul master pays attention to the cultivation of spiritual sense, only if the spiritual sense is strong, it is possible to control more souls at will, I am not talented enough, and now the strength of spiritual consciousness and soul power allows me to control only three souls, including my own soul, and my father can control nearly a hundred souls at the same time, he is the first spiritual consciousness powerhouse in the territory of today's soul master, and he has exterminated half of the souls of the city with his own strength, Although there is no ghost king level, there are also four ghost levels, seven little ghost levels and countless evil spirits in it, so my father is also called "Pu Bancheng", ranking third on the soul master list. As soon as Pu Zitong talked about his father, he showed a smug look.
"I see, distraction is spiritual consciousness, and the strongest thing in your Pu family is the strength of this spiritual sense, but isn't the soul master cultivating soul power, soul skills, and horcruxes? Haven't you heard anyone mention that there is also a practice of spiritual consciousness? Zhang asked puzzled.
"Soul power, soul skills and horcruxes are indeed the three recognized cultivation modes in the territory of soul masters, but this does not mean that soul masters can only practice these three categories, the ancestors of the Pu family found another way, starting from the cultivation of spiritual strength, and only then did they create the soul drama stunt, even if outsiders get the cultivation content of the soul skill, without the supporting spiritual cultivation secret skills, they still can't become a soul master, you also know Mr. Nan Guo, at the mobilization meeting for newcomer training, he gave a speech in front of the stage in the form of a soul, and it is not the ability to cultivate through the three major cultivation modes, The Nanguo family cultivates the limit control of the soul wave, and after cultivating to the fullest, it can change the soul wave, so that the soul can be transformed into a physical entity and appear in the world, and the soul and body can also be continuously transformed between the virtual and the real when fighting, the path of the soul master is not as narrow as you think, only if you broaden the road, you will know how big this world is. Pu Zitong explained seriously.
"Then I'd better practice until I get to the distraction stage."
Zhang Su said, closed his eyes, and according to Pu Zitong's prompts, controlled his spiritual sense, looking for fluctuations in the body, trying to control this fluctuation with his spiritual sense, not once, not twice, Zhang Su was not discouraged, and kept approaching that feeling in the continuous attempt, slowly looking for an opportunity, a rhythm of life from the body, once this rhythm is found, and then controlled, then the body can rely on this control of the rhythm to control, as long as the control of this fluctuation is deepened, If the information exchange between the spiritual consciousness and the body is perfected, then the information feedback between the spiritual consciousness and the soul body and the information sharing between the soul and the body can be realized, and the wave-controlled soul is completed, and the distraction stage is completed.
After a while, Zhang Su really found the long-awaited rhythm, and after a while, Zhang Su's body moved by itself in a soulless state, except for the fact that there was not much ruddy blood on his face, like a movable wooden man, but the rest of the situation was not much different from normal people, especially after Zhang Su's mastery of body fluctuations, the body could already do the same flexible movements as normal people under the control of spiritual sense, at this moment, a word came to Zhang Su's mind: lifelike.
"Half an hour, yes, I have the talent to cultivate spiritual sense, which is worthy of praise."
Pu Zitong was still paralyzed on the bed and couldn't move, but he praised Zhang Su like Zhang Su's teacher.
"Thank you, it doesn't feel very difficult, finding fluctuations is like looking for a thread in the mess, it takes a little effort to find it, once you find it, the rest of the things will be handy." Zhang Su nodded and was polite.
"You have completed the distraction, and after the distraction, you will have the ability to share information between the soul realm and the human realm, which can be said to be a benefit or a disadvantage." Pu Zitong said.
"What's the pros and cons?" Zhang was puzzled.
"As I said before, information sharing can be said to have the ability to perceive two realms," Pu Zitong said.
"Perceiving the two realms means that my world was originally only the human realm, but now there is a soul realm world, and I have also opened the yin and yang eyes, and I can also be psychic, is that what it means?" Zhang Su remembered the yin-yang eye thing that Lu Sen had said when he rescued himself from ghasts.
"That's right, some ordinary people will strayed into the soul world without guidance, and see the dead soul that ordinary people can't see, but they don't understand the existence of the dead soul, and they are often scared to the point of insanity, I've read "Liao Zhai", there are many similar stories in it, most of them are similar to the actual situation, bold people will not be afraid when they see the dead soul, thinking that they are some kind of evil spirit, and they fight with one with their courage, but in addition to the soul, the body can't break the soul at all, so the story will always say that the ghost was driven away, It is rarely said that ghosts are killed, in fact, it is the reason why the physical body and the dead soul cannot contact each other, but when the timid people see the dead soul, they are scared to death, crazy, and sick abound, although you immediately become a soul master, but you have not seen a real ghost, so I advise you to be mentally prepared. Pu Zitong replied.
Zhang Su has been attacked by evil ghosts, and he has also seen the soul battle between Pu Zitong and Cao Xuanqing, and his ability to withstand the soul of the soul has improved a lot, of course, there will be no mental disorder when he encounters a ghost, however, Zhang Su feels that Pu Zitong's statement seems to be very interesting, and there is a taste of words in his words.
"Are you worried that I'm scared into a sanity by a ghost?" Zhang Su asked with a smile, with a little disdain in his tone.
"I'm kindly reminding you, I know that you have seen people's souls, or soul masters' souls, which does not mean that you can hold your spiritual consciousness from impact after seeing dead souls and ghosts, especially when you see dead souls above the ghost level, you had better be mentally prepared in advance, and soul masters have also been scared to the point of mental disorder." Pu Zitong reminded.
"Why?" Zhang asked puzzledly, he really hadn't seen the real ghost yet.
"Then do you know why the description of ghosts in the world always has a fierce or hideous image?" Pu Zitong asked Zhang Ji rhetorically.
"Don't know?" Zhang Su naturally didn't know and shook his head.
"Because the image of the ghost is basically consistent with these descriptions, the ability of the revenant soul to forge the soul and gather dust is very weak, so in the realm of the revenant, the best way to survive is that the big fish eat the small fish, and the small fish eat the shrimp, that is to say, the ghast will devour the first soul, the little ghost will devour the ghast, the first soul, the ghost will devour the little ghost, the ghast, the first soul, and the ghost king devours all the dead souls, of course, the soul of the soul master can be regarded as the delicacy of the soul of the revenant, just like the soul master captures the soul of the revenant, in turn, the soul will also capture the soul of the soul master to improve himself." Pu Zitong explained the way the souls of the dead grow.
"What does this have to do with the image of a ghost?" Zhang asked puzzled.
"Of course it matters, each soul has its own fluctuations, and the process of devouring is to forcibly assimilate these external fluctuations, and the result is equivalent to a genetic mutation after radiation, and the soul of the devourer will change to a certain extent, and there will be various morphological changes, some of which have changed as a whole, and some have changed from local changes, some have changed from adult form to child form, and some have changed from strong men to old women, most of the dead souls have become hideous-looking monsters, and occasionally from monsters to beauties, Among these all kinds of dead souls, most of them are hideous and ugly, and the terrifying and terrifying appearance may be beyond the tolerance of ordinary people, if a person's mental power is not strong enough, or the knowledge of ghosts is not enough, it is easy to be frightened, and the spiritual consciousness suffers a huge impact. Pu Zitong continued to explain.
"And this kind of thing?"
Zhang Su was a little surprised, this was the first time he heard about the knowledge of the change of the form of the revenant, thinking about some people who always said that they saw something unclean, and then they were scared to death and crazy, it is estimated that it is related to this kind of abnormal revenant, the original supernatural phenomenon is explained in this way, but it is not so difficult to understand.
"So, in order to make your spiritual sense more tenacious, I plan to teach you our Pu family's spiritual cultivation secret technique 'Fearless Distraction', which can help you strengthen your spiritual sense, which is also a secret technique that our Pu family does not pass on, you can cultivate it yourself, and you can't leak it out, if someone asks you about the growth of your spiritual sense, you will say that you are born with a strong spiritual sense, understand?" Pu Zitong said.
Zhang Su was slightly stunned, somewhat incomprehensible, why Pu Zitong would take the initiative to teach a so-called secret technique to himself, and it was the Pu family's unique spiritual strengthening stunt, its preciousness can be seen, Zhang Su didn't know what Pu Zitong was doing, he didn't dare to pick it up casually, he was silent, and he didn't speak.
Seeing that Zhang Su didn't answer, Pu Zitong had already guessed seven or eight points in his heart, and continued: "If you want to protect yourself, you need to cultivate my Pu family's secret technique of summoning the soul and inverting the soul, that secret technique is similar to the soul technique, and you have to cultivate a special soul that is used as a life-saving stand-in, so you need strong spiritual support, otherwise it will be difficult to cultivate." ”
Only then did Zhang Su understand what Pu Zitong meant: "Are you saying that people who are not strong enough in spiritual sense cannot cultivate your Pu family's life-saving secret technique, and you need to match your Pu family's secret technique of cultivating spiritual consciousness to be successful, is this what you mean?" ”
"That's right, you have to help me deal with a lot of powerful recruits, including the children of our Pu family, those of the inner and outer clans, if I teach you the ordinary life-saving soul technique, they can break it for you with one move, then only the secret technique of summoning the soul is something they can't see, and I can, so, in order for you to continue to help me for two years, I can only teach you this summoning soul, but it needs to be matched without fear and distraction, otherwise the possibility of you cultivating to summon the soul is almost zero, and I can only teach it to you together, You just have to promise not to spread the word, you are a smart person, and you understand that it will not be good for you or me after the spread is spread. Pu Zitong expressed his considerations.
Zhang Su nodded, roughly understood the stakes, and replied, "Got it." ”
"Well, you listen well, the difficulty of spiritual consciousness controlling more souls lies in the fear of interference between soul waves, so there are only three words for spiritual consciousness cultivation secret technique without fear and distraction: no obstacle in the heart, no obstacle in the way, no terror." Pu Zitong said the so-called fearless mystical technique.
"Just those three words? So little? Zhang asked puzzled.
"One life is two, two is three, three is all things, more, is not equal to the truth, less, sometimes is the origin of all things, this is the same as planting a tree, every tree in the sky is also grown from a seed, tracing back to the source, in order to better understand, and then reach the other side, these three words are the origin of the secret technique." Pu Zitong explained.
Zhang Su only listened to it, his face was full of ignorance, but he felt very profound, and nodded as if he didn't understand.
"There is no obstacle in the heart, there is no obstacle in the way, there is no terror." Zhang Su chattered silently, savored carefully, I don't know how to understand, but it doesn't feel difficult, combined with the scene of controlling Pu Zitong's soul of the play, Zhang Su seems to understand a little.
Zhang Su analyzes the literal meaning, isn't it to make people carefree, because without worry, there is no sense of terror, this is easy to understand, the real bad guy is not a carefree person, so there is no fear when burning and looting early, that is to say, there is no psychological barrier, that is, it is not afraid of heaven and earth, is this to become a bad person? Zhang Su thought so.
After thinking about it, it doesn't seem to be all, those enlightened monks and holy messengers in ancient books seem to be concerned about the general public, but they are still not afraid of ghosts and powers, such as Pu Zitong's father, if he is not concerned, how can he do the thing of slaughtering the souls of Bancheng, so there is no equivalent connection between whether there is concern and whether there is terror, so how can we enhance spiritual sense?
"Let me give you another reminder, you only need to substitute these three words into the soul world, the more soul you control, the more soul waves you have to control, so you have to be distracted but you can't interfere with each other, once there is a problem, it will also cause danger to your own spiritual sense, so you understand." Pu Zitong had already practiced fearless distraction, and told Zhang Su of his feelings.
"I see, I see! There is no terror, so there is no obstacle, there is no obstacle, the heart is not hindered, just say, use! Zhang Su suddenly realized.
