Chapter 24 Spiritual Awakening
"This is really the one you took out at noon...... What storage bag?" Qiu Miaoxue was a little deflated when she saw that she couldn't open the small cloth bag, and asked suspiciously.
Hua Gu didn't speak, smiled and took back the small cloth bag from Qiu Miaoxue's hand, tilted the mouth of the bag slightly towards a square stone, and didn't see him recite any mantras and incantations, but saw a white light flash, and there were a lot of messy things on the square stone out of thin air, some golden paper, a few green stones, two jade boxes, and some miscellaneous things in bottles and jars.
"Wow, that's amazing. Qiu Miaoxue saw so many things on the stone, looked at the palm-sized pocket, covered her mouth and exclaimed in surprise.
Hua Gu smiled, and then the small cloth bag flashed white, and everything on the stone disappeared, as if it had never appeared.
"It's amazing. Qiu Miaoxue was amazed for a while, and suddenly asked as if she remembered something, "Immortal Master, how could you be injured and poisoned?" She asked so directly that she didn't care about other people's faces at all, meaning how could you be so hurt like this?
"Immortal Master, hehe, you don't dare to call this title properly, as for the injury...... But it's a long story, here's how it happened......" Hua Gu thought about it and told them about what happened.
It turns out that the Wuning Mountain Range where they live is not only humans, but places where humans, demons, demons, etc. coexist, and of course there are some other races, but their power is weak, and they are hidden deeper, and they generally do not appear in places where human activities occur, so they are not known to humans.
After countless years of war, the human race's immortal cultivation power has become more and more powerful, so it occupies most of the territory of the Wuning Mountain Range.
The demon race and the human race have a mutually beneficial relationship, so in the places where humans live, there are often demon races, but the vast majority of the demon race lives in the foggy forest south of the Wuning Mountains.
The demons are brutal and bloodthirsty, and they like to eat the flesh and soul of people, demons and other races, so they are not tolerated by shemales and other races.
In the end, the two tribes of the human shemales worked together to drive out of the Wuning Mountains, which stretched for millions of miles, and they were driven to the westernmost part of the mountain range, also known as the Far West Wasteland.
The weather in the Western Wastelands is extremely harsh, and the terrain is also very complicated, it is difficult for the two demon clans to exterminate them, and they will suffer heavy casualties every time they go, so they can only be allowed to survive in the Western Wasteland.
The demons have a strong ability to survive and are good at camouflage, so there are many demons who still live in the territory of humans, and they will hide their demonic energy, as long as they don't use demonic energy, it is generally difficult to be discovered.
The Wuning Mountains were the ancient battlefield of the Great War between humans and demons at that time, so although it is now considered the territory of the human race, there has never been a shortage of demons hidden in it.
There are four major sects of cultivation in the Wuning Mountains, "Wanfa Gate", "Tianyan School", "Huayi Gate", "Hidden Moon Sect", and of course, there are many small sects, immortal cultivation families and some scattered cultivation.
These four major sects have always been committed to killing demons and eliminating demons, and once they discover the power of the demon race, they will try their best to kill them.
Slowly, the demons of the Wuning Mountains were either exterminated or hidden, and there have been no large-scale demons here for many years, but I don't know what the reason is, about twenty years ago, the demons continued to appear in the Wuning Mountains, and the four major sects sent more people to find out the reason why these demons appeared here.
That day, Hua Gu went out on errands on the order of the mountain gate, and when he happened to pass by Datong Town, he suddenly felt the demonic energy, and when he rushed over, he saw that Toutuo was committing murder.
At that time, the situation was critical, he scared away the three demons with a shout, and the demons who were exposed could only flee in the wilderness, these three demons were not high, but the three demons were also cunning, and he finally killed two people, the masked man and the stammer.
In the end, the head of the clam named Red Clam went around in circles, and it was the purpose of the Ten Thousand Methods Gate to eliminate evil, and as a result, he chased for more than ten days, and finally stopped the red clam in the western suburbs of Qinglin City and killed him in the western suburbs of Qinglin City.
(Hearing this, Qin Xin and the others were very happy, and Qiu Miaoxue even shouted "die well", don't look at her usual unscrupulous, now I still have palpitations when I think of the situation at that time).
Just as he was checking the corpse of the demon, a person quietly appeared behind him, and he didn't notice it for a while, and was attacked by the man behind him with a hook-like weapon, and the hole on his body was cut by the hook.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough, so he was not killed on the spot, he hurriedly turned around to fight, and found that it was a short and fat masked man, he fought with the other party in anger, this fight, he found that the person opposite was actually a demon person, the masked man seemed to be unwilling to release a large amount of demonic energy, for fear of alarming the masters of the city guards, so he just wandered and fought with him, but did not touch him.
In the fierce battle, Hua Gu felt dizzy, stumbled under his feet, only to find out that he had been poisoned, he knew that this poison was not a fatal poison for him, as long as he used his luck for a while, he could force this poison out of his body, but when the person on the other side saw him have a toxic attack, he made a more ruthless move, and did not give him time to detoxify at all.
In the end, he saw that the situation was not good, so he could only use the secret technique, and escaped a hundred miles away in one breath, so that he could escape, but because of the use of the secret method, he also injured a lot of vitality.
He fainted when he couldn't lift his breath, and if they hadn't happened to pass by the so-called wild sheep slope, he might have fallen on that little col.
After he finished telling what had happened, Qin Xin and Qiu Miaoxue were shocked, they had been living in Qinglin City since they were children, and they didn't know that the place where they lived would be so complicated, although they had also heard of things like immortals and demons, but they thought they were all legends or stories.
Although they were surprised, from the time they met that black-covered Toutuo in Datong Town, to today's encounter with this Huagu who could fly, the things they encountered these days made them have to believe what this Taoist priest said.
When Huagu said this, he fell silent, as if he was giving them time to digest.
"By the way, why do Brother Xin and I always have a feeling of being targeted? That day in Datong Town, when that Toutuo and you appeared, this feeling also appeared. After being silent for a moment, Qiu Miaoxue finally asked the question that had puzzled her all along, which was also the question that Qin Xin had always wanted to ask.
"That's because your spiritual consciousness has awakened automatically. Hua Gu heard her say this, and he was even more sure of his conjecture.
"Spiritual Awakening, Awakening, what does that mean?" Qiu Miaoxue asked.
"This has to start with the spiritual root of cultivating immortals, people can only practice immortal law with spiritual roots, and people with spiritual roots, at a certain time, spiritual sense will be particularly sensitive, this spiritual sense will make your five senses clearer than ordinary people, and when other monks observe you with divine sense, you can feel something. "Huagu Road.
"Are you saying that we feel this way because there are monks like you who are secretly observing us?" Qiu Miaoxue said.
"That's right, I also said just now, Qinglin City doesn't know why there are a lot of demons at once, so in the past few years, the masters of our four major sects have taken turns to sit in Qinglin City, and when they sweep Qinglin City with their divine sense, you will have this feeling. "Huagu Road.
"Then these masters you are talking about are not intentionally observing us?"
"Hehe, of course these masters don't mean to observe you, but they are looking at the entire Qinglin City, it's just that you have spiritual roots, so you can vaguely feel their divine sense. Hua Gu said with a smile.
"It's amazing? I feel that way when you say someone is looking at me with their senses. What is that divine sense?" Qiu Miaoxue asked again.
"Consciousness simply means that you don't need your ears, eyes, nose, tongue, or body to experience the world. Qiu Miaoxue asked questions one after another, but this Hua Gu took the trouble to answer them one by one.
"Don't see with your eyes, don't use your ears to hear, don't use your tongue to taste, don't use your nose to smell, and don't use your body to feel the world?" Qiu Miaoxue asked suspiciously, thinking that she had misheard.
"Yes. Hua Gu nodded slightly.
"Don't use any of this, isn't that blind, deaf, can't smell or taste delicious food, can't touch it with your hands, can't touch it with your body, what else do you feel?" Qiu Miaoxue really couldn't imagine.
"It is to use your divine consciousness to replace your five senses, to feel the world with your mind, and when you have experienced the world with your divine sense, you will know that it is clearer to feel the world with your mind than to feel the world with your five senses. Huagu said.
"Incomprehensible......" Qiu Miaoxue shook her head and asked, "That...... You're saying we feel this way because we have a spiritual root, and what is a spiritual root?"
"Spiritual root is simply a prerequisite for cultivating spells, and cultivating immortals is actually a process of feeling aura, absorbing, storing, and using aura. To put it simply, only those who have spiritual roots can feel the aura between heaven and earth and cultivate spells," Huagu replied.
"Then you mean to say that Brother Xin and I are both spiritual root people, right? Then can we also cultivate spells like you?" Qiu Miaoxue Bingxue was smart, and as soon as the Taoist priest finished speaking, she almost understood.
"There are less than one mortal who has a spiritual root, poor Dao felt strange when I first saw you in Datong Town, why do you both have spiritual roots, especially your spiritual roots, if I am not mistaken, your spiritual root qualifications should be quite good. Hua Gu looked at Qiu Miaoxue carefully for a few times and then continued.
"Great, then Brother Xin and I are both people with spiritual roots, people who can practice spells, you see, that Dao chief...... Can you teach us to use God...... How can you feel the world, and then teach two immortal methods to prevent yourself or something?" Although Qiu Miaoxue hadn't figured out what the spiritual root was, Hua Gu said that they could practice spells, so she said directly with excitement.
"Hahaha......" Hua Gu amused this elf-quirky little girl.
