Chapter 4: The Man Who Died Once
"Mourning Hall...... Is it?"
Seeing the candles lit around him, looking at the positions placed there, and then seeing where he was, Lin Duan had mixed feelings in his heart.
I'm sure I've died once.
And Xiling, at this moment, the whole person retreated to a corner of the mourning hall, her eyes widened in horror, her body shrunk into a ball, and her whole body trembled.
"You don't have to be afraid, I'm still human, not dead yet!"
Jumping out of the coffin, when his toes stepped on the ground, Lin Duan finally felt that he was still alive in this environment.
"Really...... Really...... Uncle, you're not dead...... Are you sure you don't ...... It's not a ghost......
"When a person dies, if his soul is strong, he can be reborn, or he can use the genius treasure to reshape his body, but if the three souls and seven spirits dissipate, it will be like a lamp going out, where will there be any ghosts!"
"That's what I said, but what about those yin spirits, aren't they ghosts?"
"The so-called Yin Spirit is nothing more than the residual energy left by the cultivator, mixed with some obsessions of his life, and it is not a terrible thing to be exact. Of course, if you absorb some spiritual object by chance, open your consciousness to some extent, and then add those terrible obsessions, then it is another matter. β
Even after hearing Lin Duan say this, the spirit who was shrinking in the corner of the wall still did not relieve the fear in his heart.
"That aunt must be a yin spirit now, for the sake of me being your maid, you must not kill me, woo...... Woohoo......"
Lin Duan: "......"
In the dim mourning hall, looking at the Xiling who was choking and trembling, Lin Duan really didn't know how to explain.
After a long time, I finally heard Lin interrupt and say, "Okay, I won't kill you." β
"Uh-huh," after hearing this reassurance, Xi Ling's expression barely improved, but looking at her expression, it was still extremely pale.
"Let me ask you, how many days have you been keeping a vigil here?"
"Today is the sixth day, and in another day, my uncle should be buried. β
"Although Twilight Peak is not big, I remember that there are more or less two dozen miscellaneous servants, so I am also their master, why are you alone now?"
Hearing this, Xi Ling unconsciously shrank into the corner of the wall again, and said with some trepidation: "They have all run away, and Dusk Peak will change hands in a few days, and now I am left alone up and down Twilight Peak." β
Lin Duan: "Then you...... Why don't you go?"
"Ahh β
"I suddenly don't want to hear you. β
"Uncle, don't get me wrong...... Whining...... I'm not scolding you, I mean, getting a dog......"
"Okay, I received your wishes, and I understand what kind of situation I am in," Lin Duan turned around, looked at his spirit card on the spirit case, sighed and said, "Needless to say, she didn't appear from beginning to end, right?"
"Yes. β
Lin Duan nodded, took the spirit card in his hand and crushed it: "But I'm not rare, I may have had some extravagant hopes before, but now, it doesn't matter!"
"Uncle......"
"Don't call me uncle, your title makes me a little confused," Lin Duan pondered for a moment, and his voice suddenly became sonorous: "Call me master in the future, from now on you will still be my maid, stay by my side, follow me all the time, witness my growth, and then step on the peak of the ten thousand worlds with me!"
"Woo...... Woohoo......"
Hearing this, Xi Ling began to cry even more fiercely, and the voice didn't seem to be moved at all, but sounded like he was frightened.
"What's wrong?"
"Master, you are all ghosts, why do you still refuse to let me go, I am only sixteen this year, and I still have a long life, please let me go...... Woohoo......"
Lin Duan suddenly had the urge to cover his face, walked two steps to Xi Ling, squatted down, stared at her for a while, and then directly grabbed her little face with both hands.
"Hmm...... Hmm...... Master...... You...... You won't want to eat...... Eat me...... Woohoo......"
"Can you feel the temperature on my hands?"
"Yes. β
"Then you say I'm a human or a ghost?"
"It's people. β
"Then what are you afraid of, didn't you tell you that I'm not dead yet, since you don't want to stay by my side so much, then you can run away like them. β
Xiling stopped crying, blinked and said, "Huhβthat's not good, didn't the master say that he would still let me be a maid, why did he drive me away again?"
"Aren't you reluctant to follow me?"
"Xi Ling thought that the master had become a ghost, and he was afraid, since he was not a ghost, Xi Ling was not afraid, hehe. β
Lin Duan was completely speechless, why didn't he realize that his maid was like a ghost elf, crazy and crazy.
"Since it's decided, it's decided, and besides, this mourning hall is not a good place, let's go out first. β
This mourning hall Lin Duan didn't want to stay for a moment, so he had already walked out, and after thinking about it, Xi Ling took off the white cloth on his head, and then followed closely out.
At this moment, it is getting late, the moon is hanging high, and the vision is bright.
Bathed in the bright moonlight, it was like a new life, and he couldn't say why, Lin Duan's heart was slightly hot.
The so-called realm of cultivation is roughly divided into three realms, the first realm of the physical body, the second realm of supernatural powers, and the third realm of immortality. Of course, there are higher realms in the back, but most of them exist in high-level planes, just like the true essence of a sect, which completely exists in the upper realm, and everything under this is actually just a passing cloud.
Closing his eyes, Lin Duan quietly felt it, and he already had an understanding of his own realm.
In order to cultivate the "Haotian Supreme Heavenly Book", he dispersed all his cultivation, and originally, he wanted to start over. But for the first five orders of the physical realm, there was no need for that.
The first five stages of the physical body, health preservation, training strength, moves, rigidity and softness, and divine power, these levels can be understood literally, and they are completely honing their own physical body, all of which are prepared for the subsequent practice of qi. However, as long as a cultivator works diligently, he can reach this state in three or five years at most, or in a year or two at the earliest, and there is no skill at all.
Just like the foundation of a building, although it is simple and unpretentious, it is essential for future practice.
And although he has dispersed his cultivation, he has only dispersed his qi, which has no effect on his original physical body, on the contrary, because of the Supreme Heavenly Book, the strength and toughness of his physical body have been strengthened countless times.
What I have to do is to re-sense the aura of heaven and earth, practice qi and gather qi, and then cultivate the key to the Book of Heaven.
"Master, why don't you leave?"
"Don't speak, keep quiet," Lin Duan only felt a flash of inspiration, and in order to grasp this feeling, he closed his eyes and silenced his mind.
"Oh," said a pout, and then simply sat on the sidelines and hugged his legs, quietly watching what the newborn master was up to.
And according to the luck law of "Haotian Supreme Heavenly Book", Lin Duan began to concentrate on the induction.
The sixth level of the physical realm is the breath, sensing the breath, sensing the aura of heaven and earth, this is a hurdle, sensing the breath can be regarded as one foot stepping into the threshold of cultivation, and the other foot wants to step into the threshold of the same time, then you must wait until you break through the tenth realm of the physical body.
Haste makes waste!
Now that he is ready to cultivate again, Lin Duan is also conscious!
