Chapter 257: Twelve Character Essence

For the first time since I entered the village, I felt awake.

Even until tonight, I seemed to be half-asleep and fully awake, and my brain seemed to have been fried, and I was in a fog from morning to night.

Not only me, but even Li Huaishan was awakened, he raised his face to stare at a roof in the distance, his face was a little wooden, but the light of the street lamp was clearly reflected in his eyes.

As soon as the thunder flashed, the old official road under our feet disappeared, and the spires on the side of the road also disappeared.

It is the same path more than two meters wide, and the village houses built of bricks and tiles are still on the side of the road, and the theater that appeared in the distance just now has been replaced by an old storehouse in the village.

It had not yet been nine o'clock when I came out of Mrs. Wang's house just now, but now it was late at night, and the moon was already hanging in the eastern sky, and the moonlight was spreading down, illuminating the roof of the old storehouse white.

At this time, the moon has no halo, it is a half-curved ordinary last quarter moon. The clouds in the sky have also disappeared, and almost all the stars have disappeared into darkness under the light of the moon.

Next to Li Huaishan and me, there was also a street lamp, the bright light was a little soft, it illuminated the top of my head and Li Huaishan's eyes, and also illuminated the nearby road.

First, the scene in my sight returned to normal, and after that, my perception of the Qi field gradually returned to normal.

I first sensed that there was a large amount of yin qi slowly circulating on the village road illuminated by the lights, and then I sensed that there was a very strong evil qi in the air.

Corpse qi, yin qi, and resentment qi, the three evil qi are mixed together, almost enveloping most of the village in it, and the source of this Qi field is the old treasury in front.

I immediately condensed a breath of mental power in the dantian and blessed my vision with the Divine Concentration Technique.

The scene of the Great Qi quicksand immediately appeared in front of me, and among the Qi sand rivers, I found that the clouds of yin qi that were slowly approaching the treasury were all souls floating in the air, and all the souls were three souls and seven spirits.

These souls ...... They are still alive, or rather, their bodies are still alive.

I immediately understood why Lao Hu disappeared, just now I should have indeed called out his name in person, it was equivalent to shouting the soul, and when I called him like this, his soul immediately realized that he was still alive, and instantly returned to the physical body.

As for Liu Shishi and Fat Man, I only know their nicknames, but I don't know their real names, and it's useless to shout them.

I was thinking about what kind of ghost thing it was, and it was able to lure the souls of all the villagers out of my body in one breath, when suddenly a terrible cat meow came from above my head.

Meow –

The voice was so sharp and long that I immediately raised my hands and blocked my ears.

When I used to live in a thrift store, I was tormented by such cat meows, but no matter how many times I heard them, I couldn't get used to them.

When the sound of this scream reached the depths of the village road, the hammer closed his voice, jumped off the lamppost, and landed firmly above my head with a soft "bang".

I looked up at the cat's tail hanging from my forehead and asked Hammer, "Did you get that thunder just now?" ”

The hammer crawled lightly onto my shoulders, stretched a long stretch, and curled up, snoring in a matter of seconds.

I could feel the weakness coming from the hammer, and it seemed to exhaust all its strength in order for me and Li Huaishan to see the thunder that fell from the sky.

After arriving in the village, Hammer helped us twice, and every time it appeared, it seemed to bring us great surprises.

I stretched out a hand, carefully supported the hammer's abdomen, removed it from my shoulder, and then handed it to Li Huaishan: "I'm going to set up a formation, you and the hammer will protect me for the Dharma." ”

Li Huaishan lightly took the hammer and nodded at me.

Although I wanted to say "thank you" to Hammer, it was obviously not a good time, and Hammer was so asleep that he might not be able to hear me speak.

Li Huaishan retreated to the side with the hammer, and I took out the Tongling Jade from my pocket and put it on my eyebrows.

With the blessing of the spirit jade, the souls of the villagers were presented in front of my eyes one by one, and some of them were about to enter the source of evil qi, and I had no more time to delay.

Now, I have to find a way to get these souls out of the old treasury and go back to find their own bodies, but although the old family has a family history, they don't have this kind of magic, and in desperation, I can only fight.

I'm going to use the Sixty-Four Hexagrams, which I haven't performed before.

These days, I have repeatedly read the sixty-four hexagram notes given to me by the head of the Kongyun Dao, although except for the two hexagrams of Qiankun and Qiankun, I have only read the other hexagrams carefully, but I still remember some things.

In this notebook of the Taoist chief, each hexagram corresponds to a spell, a formation, and a talisman, and all together, the whole book records a total of sixty-four techniques, arrays, and talismans, and in addition to the drawing method of the talisman is relatively fixed, each spell and formation can be performed by three different means.

But no matter how you use it, some things are always the same.

At the beginning of this notebook, it is written: "The Tao is simple. Nian Cong'an. Yin and Yang. Metaphysical. "Twelve words.

And the essence of the sixty hexagrams is also contained in these twelve words.

These twelve words really have no literary brilliance at all, they do not fit the peace, and they do not have a tone and a frustration. Because every three words are actually a complete sentence.

No matter which three words, it is quite troublesome to explain, and in order to save space, I can only pick up the more critical parts.

The Tao to Jane, can be roughly understood as "the road to the simple", "the big complex into the simple", put these three words at the beginning of the note, in fact, there is a layer of warning, it and the last three words of the essence of the twelve words "metaphysical" is corresponding.

When performing the sixty-four hexagrams, the caster is required to reach the "metaphysical" realm in a short period of time. According to the Book of Changes, the metaphysical is the way. To reach the metaphysical realm is to reach the realm of "Tao".

When I first read this notebook, I also wondered, this is a state that many masters in the industry cannot reach in their lifetime, I am a fledgling novice, how can I reach such a state?

In other words, the most terrible thing in this world is not the word "can't be done", the most terrible thing is the fear itself.

In this way, it is better to let go of all fears and distractions and concentrate on what is in front of you.

If the heart has no distractions, it is the heart to be simple, and the heart is simple, which is the Tao to be simple, and the Tao to be simple, is to enter the Tao.

However, the Dao heart and mind without distractions mentioned by the Dao Leader of the Sky Cloud are not like when the five buckets of rice array are set up, but that they must maintain a natural heart and make every move as they wish.

It is the so-called human law of the earth, the earth and the sky, the heaven and the Tao, and the Tao and nature. The simplicity of the Tao is nature.

Nian Cong'an...... Oh my God, how do you explain these three words!

Forget it, I'll just talk about their meaning in the spell, the so-called mind from the peace, can be understood as when casting the spell, to let the mind from the beginning of the body to the complete dissipation of the period of time, has been kept "immovable".

Generally speaking, after the mental power is condensed from the dantian, it needs to be in a very active state all the time because it needs to run all over the body at any time, because once the mental power is completely quiet, it means that it loses its vitality, and such mental power cannot be used to perform spells.

When the sixty-four hexagrams are performed, the mental power can remain active in the body, but once it leaves the body, it must be kept quiet and stable in the duel, so as to keep this mental power from being affected by the external Qi field.

And it is very easy to keep the mental power quiet in the body, but it is very difficult to make the mental power suddenly enter a quiet state at the moment when it leaves the body, at least with my current ability, if I rely on my own cultivation alone, without a little special means, I can't do it at all.

Yin and Yang, people who have studied Bagua may know what these three words mean as soon as they see them, and for people who don't understand Bagua at all, they can understand Yin and Yang as the solid line and the dotted line in the hexagram, the solid line is yang, and the dotted line, or the broken line is yin.

These two kinds of solid lines and segment lines used to form the hexagram are called "yao".

The meaning of these three words in the handwriting is that when performing the technique, no matter how the means change, each step of the spell must correspond to the yin and yang growth from the first line to the upper line in the hexagram.

The last three words, metaphysical, have been briefly explained earlier. However, there is one thing I must declare, it is indeed very, very difficult to truly reach the metaphysical realm, but fortunately, when I perform the sixty-four hexagrams, I only need to enter that realm for a short time, and when the casting is completed, I will be immediately beaten back to my original form.

Seriously, if one day I really reach that realm, it is estimated that even if I have not yet ascended to immortality, it will not be too far from ascending to immortal.

By the way, the head of the Kongyun Dao has emphasized in this notebook that the spells, formations, or talismans recorded in it cannot be said to "perform such and such a technique" when casting, but can only be said to "sacrifice" such and such a hexagram or such and such a formation or such and such a symbol. What else to say, replacing "giving" with "sacrifice" is a sign of respect for the ancestors of Taoism.

I don't quite understand why the Empty Cloud Daoist said that, but I must follow his teachings carefully.

Now that the two souls floating at the front of the queue had already penetrated into the wall of the old storehouse, I quickly went through the sixty-four hexagram notes in my mind, and finally decided to sacrifice the hexagram array with the hexagram first, and then use the hexagram array of the Qianqian hexagram to suppress the evil spirit in the old storehouse.

But I can't guarantee that this will be successful, especially the hexagram array with the hexagram, I have only memorized it so far, and whether it can be arranged or not is in two words.
