"Hmm. Sora nodded.

The patriarch went on to say, "There is another principle of change, that is, before and after change, the weight of two things is the same. For example, if you originally weighed 100 pounds, then the conjured things also weighed 100 pounds. The tree that becomes is also a hundred catties, the table is also a hundred catties, and the house is also a hundred catties. ”

Xiaokong interjected and said, "There are small trees and big trees, and the house is so big, how can it be the same weight as the original person?"

The patriarch nodded and said, "That's exactly what I'm going to say. When a person becomes a small tree or a big tree, it seems that the weight of the small tree and the big tree are not the same, which is wrong; So how can a big tree be the same weight as a small tree? That's because they're made of different materials.

For example, the small tree he conjured might be made of pine, and the big tree might be made of paulownia, and in the same way, the house he conjured might be made of hollow bricks, or the walls would be as thin as papier-mâché. In conclusion, both of them weigh equally before and after the change. This is called 'quantity parity' in changing terms. So, in order to comply with the principle of 'equal quantity', you should try not to make things too big, such as the sea, the lake, the city, the mountains, etc. Otherwise, it's hard for you to operate. ”

The patriarch glanced at Xiao Kong and said, "The change spell is so powerful, can't you tell it?" As the saying goes, 'everything never deviates from its origin', no matter how similar you become, even if you can confuse the real with the false, you can still distinguish it. How to tell the difference?-- is to look at his details. The patriarch swallowed and foamed at the mouth and continued:

"Let's say you were originally a dog, and now you're a rooster. In this case, after becoming a rooster, the rooster will still retain some dog characteristics more or less. For example, if a dog likes to wag its tail, then it is possible that the rooster still has the habit of waging its tail. ”

"Let's say that he was originally a man, but he is going to change into a woman. It is possible that after becoming a woman, she still retains masculine features. For example: Adam's apple; Because men's movements are generally rougher, women's movements are generally gentle. Then, if you find that this woman moves roughly, and she has an Adam's apple, then you can conclude that this is a man's change. ”

Xiao Kong listened with relish, as if listening to a story. He thought for a moment and suddenly asked, "Then how can you change back after you change?"

The patriarch replied, "You still have to use your mind! That is, you say to yourself with your mind, 'I want to change back,' 'I want to change back,' and at the same time, with a mantra, and gradually you change back." ”

"I see, this art of change doesn't seem to be difficult to learn. Sora said with a smile.

So Patriarch Kunlun began to teach Xiaokong step by step from shallow to deep to practice the art of change.

However, this art of change is not as easy to learn as Sora said. In the process of changing, he realistically reproduced the cases mentioned by his ancestors: when he wanted to become a fox, he turned out to be a dog, when he became a dog, he lost a tail, and when he changed into a woman, she was rude and had body hair, and so on. And he couldn't change back when he became a kitten once, and he kept looking at the ancestor with "meow" and "meow" in his heart. The funny patriarch laughed.

Under the careful teaching of Kunlun Patriarch, Sun Xiaokong finally mastered the art of change after hard study. At first he could only change into a tree and a table, but slowly he could become a puppy and a kitten, and then he could change into a temple and a palace, and finally he learned to become a man, and the person he changed was so subtle that it was difficult to distinguish. Sun Xiaokong calculated the time of learning and changing, no more, no less, exactly eight hundred and sixty-four days.

Xiaokong was very excited, and demonstrated the sixty-four changes one by one in front of the patriarch, so that the patriarch could review them, and his face was proud. After watching him practice one by one, the patriarch stroked his long beard and said with satisfaction: "Yes, you have finally learned all these changes, although it is still a little rusty, but it is still decent and successful." However, some changes are still not accurate enough, and the time for changes is still a bit long, and you still need to practice repeatedly for a long time to reach the point of proficiency!"

Xiao Kong nodded frequently, his face slightly flushed with excitement.

The patriarch looked at him as if he was proud and complacent, and said to him earnestly: "Xiaokong, although you have learned this magic change technique with the strongest mana, you must not be complacent, you must know that there are people outside the sky, with your current mana, if you look at it in this vast universe, your skills are still far behind!"

"Oh?" Sun Xiaokong looked at the patriarch in disbelief.

"Hmm. The patriarch said, "There are many living beings in this universe, and there are many superior people, and looking at all living beings in the universe, this mana can be divided into nine levels。。。。。。 ”

"What are the nine ranks?" asked Sora urgently.

"Like this Hongjun Ancestor, who has the most powerful mana, can be ranked at the forefront, and it is a high immortal who is difficult to find an opponent in the entire universe. "The patriarch said:

"It's just that great immortals with powerful mana like Hongjun Ancestor, they don't care about this earthly matter anymore, they are in eternal retreat, and they will never appear again!"

The patriarch said: "In addition to Hongjun Ancestor, there are also Yuan Shi Tianzun, Nuwa Niangniang, and Mixed Kun Patriarch who are tied and can be ranked slightly lower. ”

"Among these nine ranks, the bottom of the list is of course those monks who have attained the Tao and some advanced Taoist masters among the ordinary people in the world, and of course some witches and gods who can do some tricks are also in this column, this column is numerous, and it is the lowest category. ”

"Towards the next level, there are those low-level land fairies and snake spirits, fox spirits and other little monsters that have become spirits. This column gradually decreases in number and is the eighth class. ”

"In the upper court, there are those immortals of a higher grade, such as the God of Wealth, the Eight Immortals, etc., are in this column, and of course, there are some big spirits and monsters with slightly stronger mana, such as white bone spirits, etc. The number of this column has decreased even more, and it is rarely seen in the mortal world. This column could be the seventh class. ”

"Facing upwards, there are those heavenly generals with more advanced mana and great immortals, such as gods, clouds, thunder and lightning. This column can be the sixth and is even rarer. You can only encounter it in the Heavenly Realm!"

"The bodhisattvas represented by Guanyin of the South China Sea, they take the purification of sentient beings as their own responsibility, and their mana is also more powerful, although their mana is already extremely powerful in the eyes of ordinary people, but in this vast universe, it can only be ranked as the fifth rank. The mana of the great immortals such as Taishang Laojun and Tai Bai Xing is also relatively strong, and they can be ranked in this rank. ”

"The mana of the Buddha is more advanced than the mana of Guanyin, and the ranking is higher, it can be ranked above the fifth rank, but it is only the fourth rank, but there are only a handful of great gods like this in the universe, and it is no longer seen under normal circumstances.

"Wow, there are really many high immortals in this universe, even immortals with powerful mana like Guanyin and Rulai can only be ranked in the middle and upper rank!" Xiao Kong said with a look of surprise when he heard this.

"Well, yes! Great immortals like Yuan Shi Tianzun and Hongjun Ancestor are no longer visible, although their mana is extremely powerful, but they are not the most powerful, there are even more powerful than their mana!"

"Oh, it's so amazing, even a great immortal like Hongjun Ancestor can't even rank first!"

"That's right!" said the Patriarch, "but this is the only one with the most powerful mana in this universe. Of course, such a top-level immortal has long since ceased to show up, and even top-level immortals like Rulai and Chaos Kun Patriarch have not seen his true face. ”

"Then who is this great immortal who can be ranked first?" asked Xiao Kong impatiently.

"At the beginning, all the voids in this vast universe were first owned by Hongjun Ancestor and then by Heaven and Earth, that is to say, Hongjun Ancestor created Heaven and Earth. It's just that he didn't subdivide the heaven and earth, so that the chaos could not be opened, so there were later things such as Pangu opening the world and Nuwa mending the sky. This Hongjun Ancestor can be said to be the ancestor of all beings in heaven and earth, and a great immortal with supreme power, but this Hongjun Ancestor still has a master, and his master is the founder of this universe and the ancestor of all living beings. As for his name, allow me to offend his immortal name here。。。。。。 The patriarch said as he folded his hands and bowed down to make a gesture of pleading, and then said:

"This can be ranked first in the high immortal, and his immortal name is the Founding Yuan Spirit. ”

"Wow。。。。。。 Xiao Kong's mouth opened wide for a long time, and his face was full of surprise and envy.

"So, you know, there are many masters in this universe, and there is a mountain and a mountain high, you must not be arrogant, you must learn with an open mind!"

"Yes, yes, I remembered!" Xiaokong nodded like garlic, remembering Master's words, and no longer dared to be blindly arrogant. He thought for a moment, and suddenly said:

"Then I have learned sixty-four changes, with my current mana, where can I rank in this rank?"

"Hahaha!" the patriarch laughed and looked at his face, muttered for a long time, and said:

"You haven't debuted yet, and you don't have actual combat ability, according to your current mana, you should be able to rank at the same level as the heavenly generals, maybe a little stronger than them, or maybe a little worse than the heavenly generals with high mana, but it's almost that column." So you still have to work harder and climb the peak!"

"So that's the case!" Xiao Kong thought that after learning the sixty-four changes, he could already be unrivaled in this heaven and earth, and he couldn't imagine that it was the position at this height, so he couldn't help but be a little frustrated.

"But don't be discouraged, although the level arrangement of this mana is roughly like this, it is not absolute, there is no obvious boundary between each of them, everything still depends on your own efforts, as long as you have accumulated a certain amount of actual combat ability, the strength is strong enough, you can also not be afraid of the immortals of higher levels, you can compete with them, and you can also rise to a higher level!"

"You don't have to be afraid, although this mana is divided into nine ranks, but in view of the fact that the top three high immortals actually ignore the world and will not appear, in fact, in reality, there are only six masters who can meet with mana, that is, from the ninth to the fourth rank. ”

"Oh, I see!" Xiao Kong heard what the master said, and his heart became strong again, and he secretly vowed to cultivate his mana to a higher level.
