It stands to reason that falling into the evil path of painting spirits requires a high level of understanding, and the conditions for the formation of a demon soul like a puppet are also very harsh, and the old man should not be so jealous of me knowing the information of the puppet. After all, my comprehension is here, and I am really not a smart person, and let me know a little more about this monster that is entangled with the Painting Spirit School, and I will be better guarded against in the future, so according to conventional logic, it really doesn't make sense for the old man to be afraid to this extent.

However, the truth is that he has always been full of jealousy about it.

Why is that?

"Little brother, since you are beginning to realize the problem, can the foolish brother have the courage to guess a few words at this time?" At this time, Li Shanye also spoke again, pulling me out of my thoughts, and after I nodded a little mechanically, he said: "Little brother, you have learned the art of painting spirits, the foolish brother didn't know anything before, but the avenue is three thousand, and the different paths are the same, as long as it is the art of controlling the spirit and suppressing the evil, no matter how strange the method is realized, there will still be some similarities." Although I have not been fortunate enough to be able to witness the magic of painting spirits, but as far as the little brother you have told the foolish brother, if I guess correctly, the so-called painting spirits is to use your unique method to summon or control all kinds of spirits to achieve different purposes, conventionally speaking, summoning a decent Yuan Ling, that is, the orthodox art, on the contrary, if it is to summon evil spirits, it is evil magic, a good and an evil seem to be clear, but in fact there is no clear distinction, never cross the boundaries of the thunder pool, mainly depends on the person who uses it, What did you use the art of drawing spirits for, and what did you achieve, right? ”

Although there are still some discrepancies with the actual situation, it is generally correct, so after a slight pause, I nodded to indicate that it is correct.

"Then, dare to ask the little brother, among the many methods of painting spirits, can there be the art of summoning the undead?" Seeing that I nodded in acknowledging my guess, Li Shanye asked again.

I replied, "Yes." ”

Li Shanye asked again: "Then the foolish brother dares to ask again, what are the main ways to achieve these methods of summoning the undead?" ”

After looking at him with a slight frown and hesitating for a while, I replied: "The undead are different from the Yin God and Yang God Yuan Spirit, the latter two usually have a fixed way, and they are also the main means of suppressing evil spirits, and the former, although there is also a fixed way in general, to be precise, a fixed model, but due to the diversity of the undead, each one is unique, so when summoning, it is also necessary to add some information that can accurately prove the corresponding undead, or something unique. For example, if you want to summon a human spirit, you need to add the person's birth date, and if it is an animal, you need to add the animal's blood, fur and other things. ”

"In addition, if you want to summon an outer immortal like the fox fairy and the yellow squirrel immortal, the method used is roughly the same, but it will be a lot more troublesome. Because under normal circumstances, these fairies who can speak will not easily leak their own information, and the possibility of obtaining their fur is extremely low, most of them can only add some of their characteristic information, but because they are not accurate enough, the success rate is not high, and forcing these righteous and evil scattered fairy spirits to use for their own use, to a certain extent, it is against the harmony of heaven, and it is easier to form a life and death grudge with it, even if the success is not obvious, so under normal circumstances, the painter will not spend time doing this thankless task. ”

"Very good, very careful answer, thank you little brother." Li Shanye nodded lightly, and after being silent for a while, he looked up at me and said, "Then finally let me ask my little brother, is there a way to summon living beings in the method of drawing spirit art?" ”

Creatures? Summoning creatures?

I couldn't help but be shocked and looked at him in a daze.

At this time, Li Shanye had already lost his smile, and his expression was a little serious, even a little serious.

I wanted to subconsciously say no, but before I could say anything, I suddenly remembered something, and I also remembered a spiritual map.

This picture is called "Soul Shifting Soul Diagram".

Speaking of which, that was already a year ago.

At that time, I had just befriended Sister Yun because of Xiaoqing's resentment in the Harbor Leisure Center, and Zhang Xiaowei also stuck to me like a fart for a long time. This person was framed by a vicious person at that time, and gave him a vicious evil thing called "Thirteen Symbiotic Ghosts", when he came to my store, he was already haunted by ten ghosts, and most of his body had been lying in the coffin, and his death was approaching, there was no way, I had to go off the rails with the sword, and boldly used the "Soul Shifting Soul Map" to remove his soul from the body that had been eaten up by most of the "Thirteen Symbiotic Ghosts", and temporarily transferred it to the dog's body, and experienced a lot of dangers, before the blind cat finally hit the dead mouse, and luckily helped him remove the evil ghosts on his body.

Speaking of which, this weird and evil method, or I can't find a way to break my head, I can only ask Luo Wenxin when he came up with it, if it wasn't for his reminder, I couldn't remember it at the time, I have learned such a very evil and extremely unpopular picture.

That was the first time I used the "Soul Shifting Soul Map", and it is more likely that in the history of the Spirit School, the first person to use this picture to transfer people's souls, although at that time I had the mentality of a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and I was lucky to succeed, but in retrospect, I was full of fear, so I didn't dare to use it a second time, and gradually left this matter behind.

Although on the surface, it seemed that Liang Yu's soul was only temporarily transferred to the dog at that time, and it seemed that it was not yet a summoning, but it was essentially a kind of summoning to be able to transfer the soul of a living person from the body with a spirit map.

Therefore, using the spirit map to summon living beings, although it sounds evil and somewhat chilling, actually exists.

So I was ignorant, I had already done such a thing as "summoning living beings", but I was confused at the time and didn't fully realize what it meant......

Seeing that my expression was serious, and even cold sweat began to break out on my forehead, and I didn't need to answer again, Li Shanye knew the answer.

"So little brother, there actually is, right?" When he spoke again, his tone had become serious, and there was already a hint of inexplicability in the eyes of me.

In fact, his words were not serious, but it was like a thunderbolt sounding in my heart, which woke me up from my thoughts, raised my head, looked at him with a look of solemnity in his expression for a moment, and nodded with some difficulty: "It's not a secret, there is." ”

What does it mean to summon the soul of a living person with a spiritual image, and more broadly, to summon the spirit of a living creature with a spiritual image?

Although for a while, I couldn't think of exactly what I could think of from Li Shanye's general inquiries and the chaos in my mind, but I vaguely realized that I might have knocked on a door that I had never realized before.

Although he had only suddenly come to this door and knocked softly, he had not yet pushed it open, but he seemed to have seen what was inside.

Behind the door, it was dark........................

"Alas......" At this moment, a slight sigh came from the sky, pulling me out of the place where the dark door that made me tremble a little from the marrow of my soul, and raised my head again, only to see Li Shanye looking at me with a serious face and some regret.

And the sigh that woke me up came from his mouth.

"Brother Yamaba............ If it weren't for you reminding ............ I don't even realize it...... Drawing Spirits is able to summon living beings, and I, and I............ In fact, such things have already been done............ So if you can............ Can you tell me、、What does this mean......? At this moment, I seemed to see the dark door in my heart, which seemed to open a little, and a trace of black gas floated outward, to my heart, which made me feel great fear, as if the originally bright world in my eyes was covered with thick dark clouds at this moment, and became gloomy and gloomy, so that the voice began to tremble, intermittently and erratically.

There was another slight sigh, and after looking at me and being silent for a long time, Li Shanye opened his mouth and replied: "Brother Fool is just a layman, he doesn't know anything about your painting spirit thaumaturgy, and can only judge according to some relatively simple information you told me, and dare to judge according to intuition, so how can I know what this means." ”

After speaking, seeing the inevitable gloomy loss in my eyes, I couldn't help but show a trace of unbearable expression, so after thinking about it, I said: "However, although the foolish brother does not dare to judge arbitrarily, in the eyes of the foolish brother, summoning living beings may have something to do with the origin of the demon soul puppet. ”

When I heard this, I trembled all over my body, like a lightning strike.

Without saying anything more, the machine stiffly bowed his head to the person in front of him, and then turned around sluggishly, and walked towards the bustling streets under the afterglow of the setting sun, but in my perception there was a strange and silent street.

It is said that there is often only a thin line between a genius and a madman, as long as you pierce that layer of window paper, you will become a madman from a genius, but sometimes, why not the truth?

Sometimes, people always travel thousands of miles to find the mystery of something, but ignore it, the mystery is often around, right in front of them, just through a thin layer of window paper, blindfolded by it, a poke to know.

Yan Golem must have sucked the souls of many living people, and I am just one of the victims, the killing puppet who once repeatedly said "I am you, you are me" is also refined by the three souls that Yan Golem sucked from me, so what it means to summon living beings is self-evident, how to use Li Shanye to help me find the answer.

It turns out that the answer to the puzzle is so simple.

It turned out that the truth had already been revealed in front of my eyes a long time ago, but I had never put together what I had experienced and seen and thought about it seriously.

No wonder the old man was jealous of me coming into contact with this monster, no wonder he would tell me that in the history of the Spirit Painting Sect, those who betrayed their teachers and fell into the way of demons were all talented and intelligent people with excellent understanding.

Because I don't happen to be that kind of person.

"Little brother, I don't know what is in your heart, and I don't know how to comfort you, so I might as well send you a word as a parting message today." Just when I felt that my heart was gradually shrouded in darkness, and the whole person began to slide into the abyss, Li Shanye's voice sounded behind me again, and the soul that was falling also stopped for a moment because of his voice.

Turning around with difficulty, I saw him standing outside the large iron gate leading to the street of the building, looking at me, with a faint smile on his face that was full of soothing meaning like a spring breeze.

"Little brother, to borrow a sentence from the sage Wang Yangming: This heart is bright, and what can I say. No matter what you think of and what you will experience in the future, please listen to the foolish brother, the darkness will only make those who fear the darkness afraid, if the heart is open and full of light, even if you are in the dark, why be afraid? It is nothing more than not forgetting awe, and the brave are not afraid. ”

Don't forget to be in awe, the brave are not afraid.

Be cautious and fearless.

I couldn't help but be slightly stunned, as if I had really begun to understand these two sentences.

looked at Li Shanye stunned for a few seconds, came back to his senses, and after solemnly thanking him again, he turned around and strode away without saying a word. Although the heart is still dark, it is no longer the same as before, and the speed of the fall has begun to slow down.

If the heart is bright, it doesn't matter what color it is painted on?

Without wasting any more time walking back to Ximen Street to take a shuttle or van back, he left for a while, and when he completely stopped falling, his heart was no longer so eerie, and after feeling a trace of warmth from the outside world again, he waved a taxi, turned around and rushed straight home.

After getting off the bus 200 meters in advance, I walked back home, although it was still a little far from completely returning to normal, but it had also improved a lot, at least I could laugh.

At this time, it was completely dark, and it was about eight o'clock in the evening, because I couldn't wait, the family had already had dinner, and my parents were watching TV by the stove. The old man has always disliked watching TV, to be precise, he doesn't like modern things, so he and his grandfather are the same as usual, one person and one bamboo chair in the yard watching the stars and the moon, each of them did not say a word, only the sound of "let's da, da", and the cigarette roll in the cigarette holder was smacked into extraordinarily bright, which reflected the faces of the two old men a little red.

The old man has not smoked for many years, and the grandfather has been wandering outside all the year round when he is young, although the addiction to smoking is big, but he has never been in the habit of wrapping dry tobacco, because he thinks this thing is too troublesome, so he has been smoking cigarettes, but under the mutual drive of most of the year, he has already started the pipe, except for the time when he is on one side, eating, drinking and smoking has always been synchronous, and every time he is full of wine and food, he will hold a pipe together and swallow the clouds and spit out the fog.
