Chapter 48: Sealing the Three Tribulations
Confused, Yue Yi seemed to be wandering in the long river of years, a dazzling light wrapped Yue Yi, there seemed to be something mysterious in that light, Yue Yi tried to open his eyes to see, but he vaguely saw a trace of image, and then the whole light burst open like a mirror, making Yue Yi's head buzz.
Yue Yi opened his eyes with difficulty, his purple eyes were full of vicissitudes, his pupils gradually focused, and the environment in front of him changed from blurry to clear, it seemed that this place was quite familiar, but he couldn't remember where it was, he was still confused in his mind now, and he didn't know where he was.
Yue Yi sat up slowly, his memories gradually pieced together, and in this narrow space, a big white tree stood quietly not far away, which was exactly where Yue Yi had come.
"What's going on, I'm not dead, how did I come back here, what the hell is going on. ”
Yue Yi muttered to himself, then rubbed his temples with his hand, he no longer knew if he was alive or dead. If it is already dead, then why is the body still warm, and if it is still alive, what is the previous death?
"You're finally awake?" said the purple soul in his body suddenly.
"Purple Soul, what's wrong with me, why do I feel so weak, as if I've exhausted my life's strength, and now I feel very tired, haven't I died?" Yue Yi asked suspiciously.
"How is it possible, you've been asleep since you stepped into this space, and you've been in a coma for three days. "Purple Soul is a little strange, why did this Yue Yi just wake up and talk nonsense, is he still talking in his dreams.
"Ah, haven't you been reminding you what to do, what to do? Don't you remember?" Yue Yi was stunned for a moment, how could he feel that the purple soul in his body didn't know anything, could it be that the purple soul himself couldn't remember what the purple soul said to him before?
"Well, tell me what happened to me, it seems that you are not just asleep, it seems that you have experienced a lot. The purple soul could sense some of the vicissitudes that Yue Yi had after waking up, and immediately asked.
Yue Yi told everything he had experienced, including the black rise, those images, the road to the soul and the soul flower that took away his life, and he also saw a person in a white robe and a person in a black robe, but he directly ignored the day he went to another world, and the plot was somewhat changed, but except for the day in the other world, the rest were basically facts.
"Oh, you said that one of the two people you saw claimed to be a white-robed man and the other a black-robed one?" Purple Soul's voice was a little surprised, as if he knew the two of them.
"Well, what kind of person from the Black and White Underground Palace is here, what is it, do you know it?" Yue Yi nodded, he remembered all the things before.
The purple soul sighed lightly, and the black and white underground palace reappeared in the world, it seems that this prison world is beginning to change the sky, and then said helplessly: "Cultivate well, you will come into contact with it in the future, now I have understood what you have experienced in the past three days." ”
Although the purple soul was blocked, he didn't know how Yue Yi did it, but he was familiar with the situation that Yue Yi had experienced, and this might be the chance.
"Mmmm, tell me quickly, am I dreaming or living in a fantasy these days?" Yue Yi was looking forward to the answer from the purple soul, it was really good to have an encyclopedia.
"You should have known before that the difference between today's sealers and ancient sealers, the current sealers only inherited the sealing techniques of the previous generation, but they have never been able to improve it, and the power of seals is not so orthodox compared to the ancient period, do you know why?"
"Is it the imperfection of the inheritance left by the ancient sealers, or is it a problem with the talent of the sealers today?"
Yue Yi thought about it, he could only come up with these two promises, but if it was really a matter of talent, there were always people with outstanding talent among so many people, why was there still no Ancient Seal Master orthodoxy?
"Neither. Purple Soul denied Yue Yi's answer, then paused, and said: "In fact, inheritance is the biggest drawback today, today's sealers are too dependent on their own masters, and as masters, they also dote on their own cultivated apprentices, which makes them gradually forget one thing. ”
Yue Yi was shocked, how could this inheritance become the biggest drawback, couldn't it be possible to take a lot of detours?
"Inheritance can indeed save the next generation from many detours, but it can also destroy the self-supporting heart of the next generation. In the cognition of the apprentice, everything of the master is right, in the eyes of the master, no matter what kind of difficulties the apprentice has, he will do his best to help, the sealer is different from the rest of the profession, some sealers have no apprentices in their lives, not that the threshold is too high, but there is really no person who meets the talent, so it is easy to find a person who inherits his mantle, which has caused the extreme protection of the master as his second life, and gradually forgot the sealing of the three tribulations, and took the road of shortcuts. ”
Seal the three tribulations, one is the eternal spirit tribulation, the second is the soul snatching tribulation, and the third is the soul condensing tribulation.
The Eternal Spirit Tribulation tests a sealer's ability to distinguish right from wrong, that is, eyesight. In this world, evil creatures are unpredictable and can deceive people with any appearance, and if a sealer does not even have the ability to distinguish between right and wrong, he will not only be used, but also threatened by his life. A qualified sealer must have a heart that dares to question, even if it is his own close relatives and friends, he cannot let his guard down. Therefore, the Eternal Spirit Tribulation is an illusion, and the person who can break through the realm with his own strength must be a person who knows right from wrong, and such a person is not easy to go astray, so as to better benefit the common people.
The Soul Tribulation tests the perseverance and determination of a sealer. The temptation of external objects on the other side, coupled with the exhausting sealing evil things, is a long road, how many people can persevere? Those who give up halfway are no different from those who fail at the beginning, because they are all losers. If relatives and friends are controlled by evil things, can they have the determination to kill their relatives in righteousness? A trace of hesitation is enough to determine the outcome. Only by upholding a perseverance, not being happy with things, and not being sad with oneself, can one make achievements on this road, and such a person can go far no matter whether he is cultivating or sealing.
The Condensing Soul Tribulation tests the self-confidence of a sealer. In many cases, when faced with a desperate situation, how to choose between death and survival, whether to survive or to choose complete destruction for the sake of dignity? These are not the best choices. The real sealer, no matter when, where, what kind of crisis he faces, he only chooses to believe in himself, and does not need to make any choice, this is the best choice, believing that he can still have the strength to turn the tide in the face of a desperate situation, and use the self-confidence around him to infect the people around him, this is the charm that a sealer should have.
Hearing Purple Soul's words, Yue Yi thought about it, what he had experienced before should be the Seal Three Tribulations that Purple Soul said. Presumably this is a test of oneself, so it can be said that it is an illusion before, or it can be said that it is a reality, and then he continued: "Does the sealing of the Three Tribulations have anything to do with orthodoxy?"
"In ancient times, the requirements for the sealer were very strict, rather than indiscriminate, the three calamities of the seal are the only way, if not, they are willing to destroy in it, and they are not willing to be opportunistic, because people who have not experienced the three tribulations of sealing, and those who have experienced it have a gap between cloud and mud, and now you can't realize it, you can later, you will know. Purple Soul sighed lightly.
From the words of the purple soul, Yue Yi seemed to understand a little, and the current sealers had gradually learned to be opportunistic. They are afraid of failure, and they are also afraid of the failure of their inheritors, so they think of replacing these three calamities with these three medicinal materials, this method may reduce the failure of becoming a sealer, but it also reduces the quality of the sealer, and the sealing technique is far from being orthodox in ancient times, and gradually tends to decline.
This little guy is terrible, Purple Soul was also happy to see the hunt before, because he needed Yue Yi's help, so he wanted to help Yue Yi become a sealer through this shortcut, but he didn't expect this little guy to have such an opportunity to encounter this lost seal three tribulations, and even luckier, he actually passed all of them, maybe it was nothing for the ancient times, but now, no sealer dares to choose this path, and it can be regarded as a mistake.
Just imagine, in this world, it is difficult to meet the requirements of becoming a sealer, who would take such a risk to test themselves again, if any of them fail, it is equivalent to real death, I don't know how many talented people finally stop at the soul condensation tribulation, but the general trend, people in that era have no choice, sealers who have not experienced the three tribulations of sealing, will not be recognized, not like now, for the sake of quantity and quality is reduced, the honor of the sealer will be ruined.
"Little guy, don't worry, since it is fate, no matter what price I pay, I will definitely cultivate you into a peak powerhouse, and live up to every encounter. The purple soul only muttered in a voice that he could hear, and then he also had palpitations, fortunately he didn't destroy a good seedling, it seemed that it was time to help this little guy more.
When the Purple Soul's mentality changed, Yue Yi's resolute face was full of ecstasy, he had passed the Seal Three Tribulations, which meant that he could become an orthodox sealer in the future, and it seemed that he didn't need those three medicinal materials anymore.
"Can I become a sealer now?" Yue Yi couldn't help but ask, with indescribable joy in his words.
In the sound of purple soul's approval, Yue Yi finally couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh.
