Chapter 11: Qi and Flesh
There are only two things that interest me the most at the moment.
The first is revenge.
The second is to improve your own strength, and then take revenge.
I've always been on the first path, but now it seems...... The second path seems to be able to be taken as well.
The appearance of Xiangjiang ghosts is an opportunity for me.
Even if he didn't bring me to Xiangjiang to help me practice, I have to grit my teeth and dig out a little benefit from him, no matter how I say it, I can't lose money!
"You actually have the aura of an ancient person in your body......" I muttered, looking the sixth master up and down a few times, my heart beating fast: "How did you do it??" ”
It is no exaggeration to say that I can also keep the Qi of the Sand-Body Person's body in the physical body, but it can only last for a moment and a half, and there is a lot of risk.
To put it bluntly, even if I have a physical body Gu to protect me, I can be regarded as a member of the ordinary people.
It's really a bit difficult to let my physical body carry the qi of the old creatures, and if I really do this, it's very likely that the qi will backfire on me, directly break through the physical body and then disperse.
As the sixth master said, storing qi in the body can be dispersed to the limbs and hundreds of remains, and it can also be used as a blood-like thing, constantly circulating in the body.
This way of storing qi and luck can be called an immortal method, and it is definitely something higher than the yin-yang technique.
Ordinary yin and yang spells can only use force to drive away evil spirits and suppress ghosts, and the higher-level spells are to use themselves as part of the formation or "technique" to use their own flesh to slay demons and subdue demons.
For now, I can only do the former, even if the effect of the flesh Gu on my physical enhancement is obvious, it also makes me more or less out of the realm of the mortal body of the flesh, but if it is compared with the realm of the sixth master...... That's heaven and earth!
"Do you know how we got here?"
The sixth master said, asked me for a cigarette again, and sat against the door, his eyes were very lazy, as if he was chatting casually with his younger generations.
"We?"
"Yes, we do." The sixth master nodded: "All human beings, who are our ancestors, do you know?" ”
I frowned and said nothing, because the answer to all this was vague to me.
I used to think that man was a monkey, but then I learned about the history of the ancient period.......
God and man, old and man, ape-man and man........
After thinking for a while, I couldn't help but look at the sixth master: "Do you know the answer?" ”
The sixth master took a puff of his cigarette with a smile and said.
"The Ancients."
At this time, the sixth master also seemed to be interested, and his tone of voice was obviously a lot more excited.
"The master is not a simple warlock, he has also been exposed to your so-called science over the years, science and theology, in fact, have a certain amount in common." The sixth master said with great interest: "The origin of human beings, that is something that even outside scientists dare not determine, but the master can be sure." ”
When I heard this, I couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
Those scientists in the outside world can be sure, and they can still be stubborn, and they all say that their own is right, such as they engage in these scientific research, it doesn't matter whether they believe it or not, the premise is that they can convince the public and make others believe it!
If the sixth master used the things researched by the Xiangjiang ghost to publicize it to the outside world, nine out of ten scientists would have to scold him to death, and the remaining one would have to look at him with the eyes of "not caring about the mentally ill".
"Sixth Master, how did Master Xiang determine that human beings are related to the ancients?" I asked curiously.
"There are three reasons for this." The sixth master said with a smile: "First, the ancients also have meridians that are close to human beings, and second, the ancients also have five internal organs in their bodies, and the distribution and size ratio are similar to normal humans, and the third ......."
"The Ancients have souls!"
As soon as I heard this, I couldn't help but be a little surprised, the ancients had souls? Isn't that normal? Shouldn't the creatures of the old days also have ........
That's right!
Do old creatures have souls?
"I know what you're muttering, I'll tell you plainly, old creatures have souls and bodies, but every old creature can only choose one of them, and the black-robed king and the sand body are no exception." The sixth master said, raised a finger, and said to me with a serious face: "The old creatures with physical bodies, those that will never have souls, and the creatures that exist in the form of souls will never refine their bodies." ”
Hearing the words of the sixth master, I couldn't help but ask: "If you have a body, you should have a soul, right?" If you don't have a soul, you're just a walking corpse, and you won't have a soul at all! ”
"Bullshit." The sixth master sneered: "In the eyes of you gentlemen, if the corpse becomes a sin, there is at least one soul in the body, but those corpses who have lived in the ancient tomb for thousands of years have no soul, and they also have the instinct to seek good fortune and avoid evil......."
"Yes, that's instinct, and it's not intelligence." I muttered, "Thinking and instincting are two different things." ”
"What if instinct goes up the next level?" The sixth master asked quietly.
I was stunned for a moment, unable to answer.
"The creatures of the past are so terrible because they can do many things that later generations could not imagine." The sixth master smoked a cigarette and smiled: "Compared with them, the ancients are more like normal human beings, they have souls and bodies, even if their bodies are destroyed, they can rely on their souls to fight." ”
"After the Ancients drove out the creatures of the past, the vast majority of the Ancients fell into a deep sleep, and only a small number of the Ancients were still active in the outside world."
"I don't know how long later, the Ancients also disappeared from this world, but their descendants are still in this world, inheriting most of their bloodline like the descendants of those old creatures........"
"Everything has changed from the old days to the antiquity that followed."
"It's a pity that the speed of our living degradation is too fast, and the physical body is not enough to inherit the power of those ancients, as long as a little bit more, it is enough to make the human physical body abnormal."
"The master has speculated that in ancient times, the person with the most bloodlines of the ancients is likely to be the mythical Pangu, because his strength is not only great, but his physical body has not undergone too strange changes, but his physique is a little bigger."
"After him, the human emperor Fuxi, the Wa emperor Nuwa, are all in the shape of a human body and a snake tail, and in the distance, there are three heads and six arms of Chiyou, and the Yan Emperor with a cow head and a human body......."
"In the ancient period they lived in, most of them had powers that we later generations could not imagine, but their bodies were also different from ours, and they were pushed back ......."
"In our ancient times, among those fierce generals with absolute force, which one was not born different from ordinary people?"
When the sixth master said this, he couldn't help but laugh.
"There are more powerful than them, but they are all recorded in folk history, or as legends, that is, the monsters that the ancients encountered, or two heads with two heads, or three heads and six arms, or heads as big as a tripod........"
I have to say that when I heard the words of the sixth master, I only felt that the hairs on my body stood up.
"What do you mean...... Those neighbors who live in the woods....... They are all descendants who have inherited the blood of the ancients?? ”
"Pretty much." The sixth master nodded: "But what you said is not entirely correct, because to put it in detail, we are also descendants of the ancients, but the bloodline we inherited is too weak, and there is no corresponding method, and it is impossible to echo the power hidden in our bodies from the ancients." ”
The sixth master also sighed as he spoke, his expression a little lost.
"The old man has developed a method, but the success rate is very low........ Except for the old man, there were originally five people living here, and now I am the only one left. ”
As soon as the words fell, the sixth master fell silent, his eyes were very helpless, but there was no grief as I imagined.
I hesitated for a moment, then asked him tentatively, "You mean everyone else is dead?" ”
"But no, the body collapsed, the soul was annihilated, and it disappeared from this world almost the moment of failure." The sixth master sighed: "I can survive, it's also fate, it's all luck!" ”
"The ancient qi in your body is not brought in from the outside, but is excavated little by little...... Are you sure that means? You're really not kidding me? I asked cautiously.
The sixth master laughed: "Do I have to lie to you?" ”
Just as the sixth master was about to say something more, I heard a loud noise in the woods, and a familiar figure also came out of the forest at this time, and ran to me in three steps and two steps.
It's none other than Beigong, which has never appeared before.
But the strange thing is that Beigong is still the same Beigong, but what about the big turtle shell on its back......
"You've been renewed?" I looked at it in a daze.
