"Little girl, can you not ask so many questions? No matter how many people ask me to teach him magic, I won't agree! The old man said conceitedly.

"But I didn't ask you." Xiaomi didn't buy his account at all.

"If you don't learn from me, you won't be able to control your tiger in the future."

Xiaomi snorted and said, "My master used to say that I can't let it recognize the Lord, you always think you know a lot, but you are always blinded by what you know!" ”

The old man said helplessly: "Hey, how many people want to take my things and ask for them, but you don't appreciate what I want to give you and mine!" But that's what we're all about. If it's someone who wants me, I'm not at ease. ”

"I don't want anything from you." Xiaomi looked the old man up and down, "Look at you dressed like this, and you don't have any good things on you." ”

The old man was indeed dressed a little shabby, with cloth clothes and shoes, dry skin, and rough fingers, no different from the old peasant in the village.

"Little girl, don't judge people by their appearance. What I'm talking about is not an ordinary thing, it's the essence of my cultivation over the years. The old man said.

Xiaomi said: "Old man, with all due respect, if it is an animal cultivating adult, then it is called cultivation, but neither I nor my cat feels any demonic spirit in you, otherwise my cat will be abnormal." If it's a ghost and a human, it's also called a bit of cultivation, but my cat and I didn't smell the slightest ghost, otherwise my cat would have eaten you. If a person has advanced spells, then of course it is called cultivation, but you stumble when you walk, and your eyes can't see, I didn't pull you just now, you fell into the puddle, and I can't see any cultivation from you. ”

The old man nodded proudly and said, "That's right!" You can't see my cultivation, that's right! ”

"How is that right?" Xiaomi was puzzled.

The old man asked, "Hehe, what will the fox cultivation become?" ”

"Vixen."

"What will weasel become when cultivating?"

"Weasel spirit."

"What will that person become when he cultivates?"

"Human spirits." Without thinking, Xiaomi blurted out.

The old man laughed.

"That's not right!" Xiaomi wants to change its tune.

The old man interrupted her and said, "Yes! I'm a human spirit. ”

"You're a human spirit?" Millet walked around the old man, but still didn't see anything.

"Everything in the world has spirituality, all have a Dao heart, and all can be cultivated. Mountains, rocks, trees, tigers, leopards, jackals, birds and beasts, all of them must be cultivated into monsters. People are no exception! The old man said in a sonorous voice.

"Aren't people cultivating to become immortals?"

"But have you ever seen a fairy?" The old man stared at Millet with those white eyes.

Xiaomi shook his head, afraid that the old man would not be able to see it, and said, "This is really nothing." ”

"That's it, it's too difficult and too difficult to cultivate immortals, and basically no one has cultivated it. Therefore, cultivating immortals is not as good as cultivating adult essences. Humanity is considered to be very good among the six realms, otherwise why would those birds and beasts want to gain a human body through cultivation? We have already gained a human body, what more can a husband ask for? ”

"That's a lot. Birth, old age, sickness and death, as well as being with the people you like. Xiaomi said.

The old man originally wanted to teach the younger generations who had not been deeply involved in the world with the attitude of an elder who had gone through vicissitudes, but he didn't expect to be choked by Xiaomi's words.

"This ...... This ......" the old man stammered.

Xiaomi waved his hand, and said as if an adult didn't remember the villain's mistakes: "Forget it, forget it, although people are sentient beings, there are not many ruthless people, just want to live, not anything else." ”

The old man looked depressed.

"By the way, where are you going? When will I be taught to tame...... The trick of taming a tiger? Millet asked.

"I'll start teaching you tonight! I'll go with you to the mass grave first, and then start training when your buddies are full. As for where I'm going, I'll tell you when the time is right. ”

Xiaomi happily agreed.

So, Xiaomi and Bai Ye took the old man to the mass grave......

One day, while eating at the dinner table, Xiaomi suddenly asked Helian Tiandao: "Master, do you say that there are people in this world?" ”

Helian Tian thought for a while and said, "Human spirit? I've heard the elders in the family talk about it before, but I've never seen it. I don't think so. ”

"You've heard from your family? What do they say? Xiaomi suddenly became excited. Originally, she was just uncomfortable because she was depressed, so she casually tried her luck and talked about it, but she didn't expect Helian Tian to hear about it.

"yes. Cats, dogs, pigs, and cows can all cultivate into essence, and people can also cultivate into human essence. This human spirit is different from other cultivators, the energy they obtain is never used, but transformed into themselves, making their physical bodies extremely tough, so as to resist the ravages of time. It is said that the body is a boat that ferries people, and the soul is a person on the boat. However, the ferryboat will decay and decay over time, so the souls on the boat have to obtain a new ferryboat through reincarnation. Some people cultivate in order to get rid of the shackles of the ferry boat, and want their souls to survive even in the sea of suffering, which is called feathering and ascending to immortals. However, the human spirits consider different angles, they hope to strengthen their bodies infinitely, prevent or slow down the corruption and aging of the ferry, so that the souls on the boat do not have to abandon the boat and find a new boat. ”

Xiaomi pondered for a moment and asked, "So, the age of a person's life can far exceed that of ordinary people?" ”

"yes."

"Aren't human spirits very powerful?"

"If anything, it's remarkable. If a person lives to be forty years old, he can say that he is not confused, and when he lives to be seventy years old, he can say that he does what he wants, and if he can live to be 100 years old, he can simply see through all the things in the world. If he can live to be hundreds or even thousands of years old, think about it, how many things will he have to go through? Basically, you can see through all the things that others don't understand, right? ”

Millet asked, "But some people can remember their past lives, are they similar to human spirits?" ”

Helian Tian shook his head and said, "It's about the same, but the gap is still very big." Abandon the boat and find a new boat, in the middle of which you have to experience the mystery of the womb and forget many details. Even if you remember your past life, it is as illusory as in your dream, the experience you get is very different, and everything has to be started from scratch, and you have to have a lot of conflicts with yourself in this life and your past life that need to be mediated, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and exhausting. Let's put it this way, being reincarnated and remembering the previous life is like filling a basket with rice, and leaking it while loading it. The cultivation of people is to keep pretending and will not leak. So when it comes to the same amount of time, it's actually very different. ”

"Oh......" Xiaomi thoughtfully said.

Helian Tian felt that the explanation was too complicated, and added: "To put it simply, reincarnation depends on the consciousness of alayya, the consciousness of seeds, and reincarnation and cultivation are like taking the seeds of a previous life to water it, so that it can sprout and grow into a big tree again. The human spirit grows all the time and grows directly into a big tree. That's the difference between them. ”

This time Xiaomi was clear and sighed: "No wonder they want to cultivate in this way!" ”

"But human spirits only appear in legends." Helian Tian shrugged.

"What if?"

"If there is, he won't dare to come out."

"Didn't you say that human essences are more powerful than reincarnated cultivators? Why don't such powerful people dare to come out? Millet asked.

"People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong. If this kind of person who breaks the worldly cultivation method is discovered, he will definitely become the target of public criticism. Some wanted to kill him, and some wanted to follow him. Neither those who wanted to kill him nor those who wanted to follow him did him any good. ”

"Why?"

"Needless to say, the person who wants to kill him. The more people who follow him, the more visible he will be exposed, which will be beneficial for those who want to kill him to find him. ”

"Why would anyone kill him?"

Helian Tian smiled and said, "If human essences do exist, other cultivation methods will be unattractive, and those who are masters in cultivation will have no followers, and they will kill human essences under the pretense of violating the slogan of Tianlun and acting for the way of heaven." ”

"Isn't it possible for the human spirit who is so powerful by you to deal with those cultivation masters?"

"Just like animals cultivate to become refined, not all animals can eventually achieve refinement, it depends on talent and chance. After all, there are very few cultivators. The same goes for human spirits, they have an absolute disadvantage in numbers, and naturally they can't resist the open guns and plots of cultivators all over the country. Maybe...... Maybe the human spirit did have it in history, but it was killed by many cultivation ancestors. Helian Tian simply put down his chopsticks, "This is all living beings." When sentient beings unite, they produce terrible powers, but they also destroy some forces. ”

"That's why the human spirits don't dare to come out?"

"Yes. So, sometimes you have to know how to endure even if you have very strong strength. ”

Xiaomi heard something different from Heliantian's last sentence. The resurrection of the White Night, his own drowning, and the recent terrifying progress of the White Night may have made Helian Tian a little uneasy. She couldn't help but look at the white night below the table.

Bai Ye glanced back.

Bai Ye's eyes have also changed slightly since the old man's indirect training. The area around its pupils gradually turned blue, as if it were an ocean, a sky. When Millet stares at it, it seems that it cannot see its head, and it seems as if it is about to fall into its eyes.

"Master, I have heard people say that human spirits are blind in their eyes. Is there such a thing? Because of Bai Ye's eyes, Xiaomi recalled the white eyes when the old man taught her to train Bai Ye. She was afraid that Helian Tian would find out, so she pretended that someone else said it.

Seeing that Xiaomi had no intention of eating, Helian Tian beckoned to the black-clothed woman waiting next to him, signaled to clean up the table, and then nodded at Xiaomi: "Yes." Who do you listen to? How do you still know that the eyes of human spirits are blind? ”

Millet disguised: "Oh, I listened to the old man playing chess on the street. Why are the eyes of human spirits blind? ”

Helian Tiandao: "Animals cultivate to become adults and destroy the six realms, so they will be blocked by the thunder tribulation." Although the human spirit has not crossed the six realms, it has already destroyed the ethics and will also be punished by heaven. In order to escape the curse of heaven, human spirits often destroy their eyes. ”

"Self-destructing?" Xiaomi shuddered. She thought that the old man's eyes were born like this, or that he had encountered misfortune to be like this, but she didn't expect that he had done it on purpose.

"yes. There are many similar examples in the world, fortune tellers are very clever, so they are often blind or born blind to learn fortune telling. The blind man can't see the changes brought to the world after the Heavenly Opportunity is broken, so the punishment from God is lighter. Human spirits have learned the truth of avoiding disasters from this, so they destroy their eyes and alleviate their negative karma. ”

When Millet was in Thrush Village, she heard her grandfather say that fortune tellers are mostly blind people, and she knew the truth.

Millet also understood why the old man had asked her to take him to a place where he could go without a guide.
