Chapter 19: The Tree of Heaven and Earth
Zhang Lei and the others were awakened by the coolness of the early morning. Among the five people, Zhang Dongyang was the first to wake up, he called twice and saw that Zhang Lei did not respond, so he pretended to call Li Na and touched Li Na's body wantonly, and later even stretched out his salty pig hand to Lele.
Zhang Dongyang was so carried away that he didn't even realize that Fang Li had opened his eyes. However, for some reason, Fang Li not only did not jump up, but quickly closed his eyes again, until he heard Zhang Lei's chirping, he pretended to wake up.
"Damn, this backache hurts, where is this?" Zhang Lei was still a little confused, "Dongyang? You...... By the way, didn't we go to Zhang Jing and them yesterday? How? ”
Zhang Dongyang began to recall, and quickly said: "Yes, I don't remember what happened after entering the woods." ”
At this time, Lele also woke up. Li Na's heart was big, and when she reached out and touched her mobile phone and pants in her sleep, she was about to turn over and sleep again, but her arm was hurt by the stone, and she screamed and got up.
The five of them quickly sorted out what happened last night, first Lele and Li Na helped Zhang Jing to go to the woods for convenience, but they didn't come out for a long time, and then Fang Li went to look for it, but they didn't come out, and finally Zhang Lei and Zhang Dongyang also went in.
Everyone checked it and didn't lose anything, but they all found the video in the phone. obviously didn't have any impression, but they were all alive and kicking in the video, and their expressions were very exaggerated.
"Fang Li......" Lele's voice trembled, and he went over to hug Fang Li's arm. A few people, you look at me, I look at you, and the same idea sprouts in my heart.
"Damn, let's go quickly, go straight back to school, I really can't stay tonight." Zhang Lei spoke first.
"By the way, where did Zhang Jing go? And that Sun Yan? Lele asked in a low voice.
Li Na snorted coldly, "I think it's Sun Yan's ghost, he left us at the earliest and didn't show up, I already saw that he was not a good thing, Zhang Jing's disappearance must have something to do with him." ”
……
Sun Yan didn't wake up until almost noon. After being hungry for a day, he went to the kitchen to cook noodles and eat them first, and then carefully checked Zhang Jing.
It's strange, Zhang Jing is obviously dead, and she should be the same as Jinyue, becoming a ghost, but why is her soul still in her body? It's like ......
"That's right! Like a puppet corpse. Sun Yan's vitality had recovered, and the content of the Nether Corpse Control Technique quickly surfaced in his mind, and Sun Yan quickly checked it.
"Curtain call?" Sun Yan exclaimed. It is recorded in the book that among the ancient puppet sects of the orthodox lineage, there is a top-level secret art that only the selected heirs can practice, and that is "thank you for your reward".
The term curtain call may have come later. Puppetry, which is meant to be a performance, is the first thing to do when the performance is over, and the audience must be thanked first. To put it bluntly, the curtain call method is to forcibly terminate the performance and make all the puppet techniques invalid.
Even on the stage of life, there will always be a curtain call. Sun Yan saw that the method of curtain call could not be learned, it could only be inherited. To perform this technique, you must first turn yourself into a puppet, then terminate the performance and disintegrate the opponent's puppet. Depending on the applause received at the curtain call, it will also cause varying degrees of damage to the opponent, either dead or dead.
However, once the curtain call is used, then the person will also end his life, but the soul will be temporarily retained until a new heir appears and accepts the inheritance, and everything ends.
The Puppet Gate's curtain call can only be used by the heirs, and only once in a lifetime—and only once. It turned out that Zhang Jing turned out to be the most mysterious and ancient faction in corpse control art, the inheritor of the puppet sect.
Sun Yan felt more and more that this Netherworld Corpse Control Technique had an extraordinary origin, and he couldn't help but tremble when he saw the back: "Although the puppet gate knows the method of curtain call, it is like buying a pearl, but it is only a small end. The curtain call is not the end, but the beginning of the second and third acts...... The true curtain call is the eternal convenience of the soul. Its law ......"
"What !!" Sun Yan was fascinated. He couldn't understand the method described in the book, but he understood the meaning, and the curtain call turned out to be a method of rebirth, through which the soul could live forever. Not only that, but there is also a soul restoration method in it, that is to say, Zhang Jing can still come back to life......
Zhang Jing saved him, and it was of course best to be able to resurrect Zhang Jing, but Sun Yan repeatedly studied the soul restoration method, but always found that there was a key step that could not be achieved.
When Sun Yan was a child, he had signed an oath contract with the corpse with his own groping, but now, he couldn't solve this crucial step.
The sky gradually darkened, and Sun Yan had no choice but to give up. He ate something casually, and then remembered the two notebooks left by Zheng Tao, so he took them over and opened them to look through.
It turned out that this Zheng Tao was studying physics, and one of them was a record of his research subjects, Sun Yan turned two pages and felt that it was a little profound, and planned to keep it for a slow reading, so he quickly opened another one.
This book is a bit like a diary, with a lot of records, insights, notes, and even conversations. Sun Yan had no intention of knowing Zheng Tao's privacy and inner world, so he quickly flipped through it, preparing to burn it if there was nothing special.
Sure enough, it was pointless. Sun Yan took out the brazier he had prepared for studying the talisman from under the bed, and simply went to the window and burned it. As long as he thought that all of them were Zheng Tao's deformed thoughts, Sun Yan felt awkward.
This notebook is strange, it burns quickly when it hits fire, and there is not even ashes left. At the same time, a golden light also directly submerged into Sun Yan's eyebrows.
"No......" Before Sun Yan could be surprised, Zheng Tao's figure appeared in front of him.
Zheng Tao seemed to really stand here, bowed his hand, and his voice immediately sounded: "Although the doctor made me reborn, he originally wanted to turn me into a puppet who completely obeyed orders, and he saw that there was a secret in me. And I always felt that the doctor had another idea for teaching me puppetry. I hid the burner I got back then in my notes along with the leaf that I don't know what it does, hoping that you will be able to unlock the secret of the leaf. In this world, there are really immortals. ”
"Leaves? Where? Sun Yan watched Zheng Tao's image disappear, but he didn't see any leaves, and what was the burning charm?
Just when Sun Yan was wondering, he suddenly felt a chill in his brain, it was an indescribable feeling of comfort, and even his facial features changed—his eyes were brighter, his ears could hear more subtle sounds, and his nose and mouth were breathing incomparably smoother......
Immediately after, a young golden and green leaf was really suspended in Sun Yan's upper dantian, that is, between the two eyebrows, three inches deep, Sun Yan could feel it as long as he paid a little attention, as if it was going to take root and grow in Sun Yan's head.
At this time, a large amount of information also poured into Sun Yan's mind along with the leaf. It turns out that this leaf is the root seedling of the tree of consciousness, it is not left by anyone, but it is born and grown, and it is a great creation brought by heaven and earth.
What is Knowing God? To put it bluntly, it is the system of divine thoughts. For example, the special function of mind transfer is achieved through divine thoughts, which are the coordination of the human brain such as the senses, consciousness, and subconscious...... These functions are effective ways to allow the mind and mind to perceive and touch the tangible material world just like the body.
The Tree of Consciousness is a medium for people to systematically exercise their thoughts. It grows with people's minds and consciousness as nutrients, and then gives back to people. Not only that, it is different from ordinary divine thoughts, it contains the power to communicate with heaven and earth, and it is also incomparably helpful for people to cultivate the primordial gods.
As a sorcerer, Sun Yan certainly knows that the Yuan Shen is an existence that transcends the soul, and if he cultivates the Fa, it is not a dream to realize the Yuan Shen out of the body or even a clone. The main thing is that the original god will only grow and not age, which means that it can lead people to true eternal life.
This kind of immortality is not the same as ghosts. Ghosts must be subject to the underworld, and souls cannot be separated from humanity, but the primordial gods can ascend to immortals and become holy.
Sun Yan understood. Back then, he felt that the Netherworld Corpse Control Technique was strange, and now this is the case, if you can get the secret inside by burning a book, and it is also a treasure of heaven and earth like the God Tree, it is too ridiculous.
It was the burner that Zheng Tao had just mentioned that reminded him. Sun Yan had never heard of the burning talisman, but with his understanding of the talisman, he quickly guessed that it was not far from ten.
For example, his tracking talisman is mainly for chasing breath, and there is also a yin collection talisman for gathering yin qi. Since breath can be collected, what is there that can't be understood about the existence of rune paper that can collect images and sounds like a recorder?
Zheng Tao's image just now must have been left by this kind of burner, and the Netherworld Corpse Control Technique back then, Sun Yan suspected that the book was also a kind of burner. As for the Tree of Knowing the Gods, Sun Yan judged that it was when its previous owner died, so he left it on a leaf talisman, and the reason why Sun Yan was able to get it was not because he was luckier than Zheng Tao, but because he happened to be proficient in the talisman, and the leaf felt a similar temperament to the previous master in him, and took the initiative to choose him.
Thinking about the cause and effect, Sun Yan suddenly became enlightened. Many incomprehensible problems in the Nether Corpse Control Technique have also been solved. It turns out that the most profound methods of corpse control of various sects are all related to divine thoughts. Sun Yan didn't care about controlling the corpse, he had to find a way to let Zhang Jing's soul return to his body first.
It would be much easier for Sun Yan to look through the Nether Corpse Control Technique at this moment. Sun Yan had already understood that Zhang Jing had made herself a puppet through the secret method of inheritance, and all puppets would have controllers, and it was the masters of those who applauded, that is, the souls left by the people who inherited the generations.
At present, including Zhang Jing's main soul, they are all hidden in the pendant hanging around her neck, which is the inheritance token of the puppet sect for generations.
If you want to return Zhang Jing's main soul, the only way to do this is to enter the pendant and persuade or defeat the inheritors of the past generations. How to enter the pendant was exactly what Sun Yan couldn't figure out before, and at this time he understood, it was to rely on divine thoughts.
Sun Yan had never heard of the Divine Mind before, but now that he had obtained the Divine Tree of Knowledge, he immediately condensed it according to the method provided by the sapling, hoping to stretch out the Divine Mind as soon as possible and enter the pendant to bring back Zhang Jing's main soul.
