Volume 1 The Years of the Mountain City Chapter 9 The Soul Envoy and the Guardian Envoy

When the reservoir finally stopped pouring down, people dared to observe the disaster up close.

The flowers and trees along the Sanhe River, the houses and buildings, as if they were brushed back and forth by the plough and rake several times, except for some buildings before the solid people, there are still a few cement pillars remaining, and the rest are all razed to the ground, full of devastation, and for a time mourning is all over the wilderness.

There are two big black iron pipes that have been almost crossed in the middle of the Huangjiling Mountain, and there are still three or two pedestals left to be adhered to, as if a slightly stronger wind blows, and they can roll down at any time, which is shocking, and it makes people's scalps numb and worried when they look at it.

Such a major disaster involved more than a dozen lives, and finally a deputy mayor came to the province.

The tripartite coordination, the severely affected villages were selected for reconstruction, and the pensions were mentioned again and again, but the grief in the hearts of the families who had no relatives could not be made up for by no amount of money.

It took more than half a month for the villagers' cursing and anger to subside. As a result, Zijin Mining assumed all the responsibility, and also held accountable those responsible for safety prevention and control, Zijin Mining lost a large amount of money, and was ordered to immediately suspend the mining of the Yinyan Mountains and then withdraw from the local area as soon as possible.

Ling Lang's grandmother's family was also implicated, and the land that the eldest and second uncle bought by the Sanhe River and built half of the house were not spared, but fortunately, no one moved in at that time, so they took the compensation money compared to those who lost their loved ones. I didn't say anything, I found a new place, and I thought about building a new house.

After his father's first seven days, Ling Lang still had to go back to school.

He heard the information from his mother and planned to look for Xu Fuzi on the weekend. He had too many questions in his heart, waiting for Master Xu to help him solve his doubts.

Xu Fuzi's home is located in the north of the county seat. Yudu County, Dongcheng District and Nancheng District belong to the old city and are the best developed, while Xicheng District is used as a concentration place such as stations and logistics warehouses. When I came to the north of the city by car, the chickens and dogs smelled each other, but it was more like being in the countryside.

The fields of oilseed and wheat have all flowered, and there are some sugarcane or something, most of which have been cut, and there is not much left, swaying in the wind. The pastoral atmosphere is abundant, but Ling Lang also appreciates it.

Xu Fuzi's home is a blue brick house, connected by sub-houses on both sides, and a small bungalow on the left, and a chimney on the side, which is probably used as a kitchen. On the right is a simple low mud brick hut, and there is the sound of livestock, probably a chicken shed or a pigsty.

In front of the house is a small courtyard, in which there are a lot of potted plants, but they are all some cactus, aloe vera, tiger tail and other ordinary things, a few chic flower pots, some small gravel on the soil, a few ornamental trees, Ling Lang can't name it.

"Is anyone home? excuse me, is there anyone?" Ling Lang pushed open the fence of the small courtyard, walked in, and shouted into the house.

The door was wide open, not like a sign that no one was home. When I entered the courtyard and stood still, I didn't see anyone, so I screamed a few times.

"Eh, here, who's coming?" After a while, Master Xu's voice came from the back room.

"Oh, kid, it's you. Come, come in, come in and sit. Seeing that it was Ling Lang, Xu Fuzi warmly beckoned him into the house.

"Old Xu, I'm ......" As soon as he entered the room, before he sat down, Ling Lang couldn't help but want to ask Master Xu the doubts in his heart.

"Child, don't worry, sit down, drink saliva first, and then we'll talk slowly. ”

Seeing Ling Lang take a few sips of tea, his mood calmed down a bit. Only then did Xu Fuzi ask.

"Kid, can you tell me first, how long has it been since you were out of the body like last time?" Xu Fuzi naturally knew why Ling Lang came, and he didn't beat around the bush, and went straight to the point.

"The last time was the second time. Ling Lang replied honestly.

"It's only the second time, when was the first time?

"The first time was on the night of my grandmother's birthday. I saw you and your third uncle standing on the lawn talking once. ”

"Oh, that's it, I said, no wonder the last time I met you in Baimaping, I found that your soul body was a little special. You see, our soul body is basically surrounded by breath, and the momentum is outward, which is due to the fact that the soul body is sympathetic to the vitality of heaven and earth all the time, and absorbs the essence as a consumption supplement. Moreover, the more the soul body is at the beginning, the more there will be a different kind of spiritual light. Only when the soul body is condensed, the closer it is to the original body of the person, but in general, there is still a difference. Seeing Ling Lang listening intently to his words like a primary school student, Xu Fuzi smiled, and then continued.

"But your soul body only has a very faint aura touch, if it doesn't happen to touch you, and it's standing next to you, I can hardly feel it, but last time I was in a hurry, and I didn't have time to ask in detail. ”

"Then, Elder Xu, is this phenomenon of mine good or bad? Also, how could I do this fugue for no reason. ”

"Whether it's good or bad, I don't dare to jump to conclusions for the time being, after all, you haven't been many fugues. To put it simply, the soul body is outside, flying, perceiving, reciting mantras, making blessings, and even soul body struggles, which are naturally to be consumed, as a means of living and reciprocating with heaven and earth, and you don't seem to have it, so naturally it should be a bad thing. But because of the introduction of your breath and the restraint of your aura, you go in and out of the mind without knowing it, and your whereabouts are elusive, why don't you be a good way to preserve?"

"This ,......," Ling Lang couldn't help but secretly worry about himself when he heard this. But Xu Fuzi raised his hand and interrupted his question.

"Child, I will tell you the details in the future, in short, you must know that this unique world you are just getting involved in is not as simple as you imagined. How can you become a soul body, I can't find a reason for a while, your third uncle has watched you grow up since he was a child, and he has never found out, it should be caused by some special encounter recently. When we get along more, I don't think it's hard to find a reason. When he said this, Xu Lao paused, as if something made him think about it.

"The urgent thing now is how to place you as a soul. Let's put it this way, you are like a supernumerary now, there is no unit to take you in, and you can even be regarded as a black household, and your origin is unknown. In the past, when this situation occurred, the above would send someone to investigate clearly, and the result would be better, that is, it would absorb you into a special group to cultivate, but more often, if the person above felt that this person was useless, had a bad temperament, and had a dirty character on weekdays, he would be disbanded and his memory would be wiped out, and this process of disposal would be extremely harmful to people. ”

"In the past, if I found out about such a situation, I would have reported it, but after you came to count the deceased, plus your father's new death, orphans and widows, the wind and rain are shaking, and you really can't afford to toss more. Alas...... So, no matter what, it's not right for you to let people know where you are now. You must also be careful that it is best not to disclose this to anyone, including your mother. You have to remember. When he said this, Xu Fuzi was very solemn, and his tone became serious.

"Sometimes, children, it's not a good thing to be simple. There are many burdens in life that it cannot bear, not to mention anything else, just like the reservoir collapse incident that occurred in your hometown a few days ago, how could the villagers who were wiped out be able to imagine it? Although most things in the world are destined for cause and effect, there is no lack of impermanence. After speaking, Xu Fuzi had a sad face and closed his eyes, as if he was sighing and mourning for the villagers who had passed away before.

"Old Xu, can you tell me what exactly is the soul envoy and the guardian envoy?" Ling Lang couldn't help but think of the first time he was outside his body, he heard Xu Fuzi and the third uncle mention these two terms.

"This is exactly what I am going to tell you, the soul body, as the name suggests, is that the three souls and seven spirits of a person have grown to a certain extent, and they can exist independently from the human body. ”

"The three souls are in Taoist allusions, one is called fetal light, the second is called cool spirit, and the third is called ghostly spirit. Literally, you can understand that this is the root of human beings. Man is a heaven and earth by himself, with three souls stationed and seven spirits supplemented. Or you can also think of people as a container, the three souls and seven spirits are the elements of heaven and earth in it, which are stored in it, absorb nutrients, and grow into shape. ”

"Most people are born with a weak Tianyuan, which is what we often call a lack of talent, or a congenital deficiency. Before the soul body is formed, the physical body has already died. This does not need to be elaborated, it is just people's birth, old age, sickness and death. And there are some Tian Yuan who are powerful, and if they have an unusual encounter, they will form a soul body. But more often than not, things are not so simple, and unusual encounters, how can everyone get them?"

"Most of these gifted people, because they have a strong soul, they show talent and intelligence when they are young, and they also achieve great results when they grow up. However, people have seven senses and six senses, because they do not have the correct method of breathing out breaths, and they do not embark on the correct path of cultivation, the more they come into contact with the affairs of the red dust, the six senses are confused, the seven senses are closed, and the speed of growth of the body is far faster than that of the soul, and the soul is imprisoned, and it will slowly disappear from the world. ”

"Old Xu, can I understand it that way? Do those emperors and generals in the past belong to the existence of the soul body?"

"You understand this directly, but most emperors are not soul bodies, they can only be said to be soul souls that are particularly strong, different from ordinary people, but in the ancient famous generals, the soul body is more embodied. This soul body cannot be directly equated with whether it can have great achievements. Everything in the world, there are too many unexpected magicalities, which cannot be explained in a few words. I can give a simple example, the first king is called the first emperor of the ages, but I have seen the relevant secrets, the first king is indeed not a soul body, but he must know the existence of the soul body, so later he called Xu Fu to find immortals, looking for the elixir of life, it is understandable. As for the final result, it is not like the current historical records, these secrets, if necessary in the future, I will tell you in detail. ”

"Only with a soul body can you become a soul envoy, and it is divided into a soul envoy and a soul envoy. The Soul Envoy is a person who can control the soul body of the wandering outside, and it is said that even some powerful beings can detain the three souls in the human body out of thin air and control the seven spirits of the person. Of course, the path of a soul envoy is not so easy to follow. You must know that people who can become soul bodies have firm minds and strong divine senses, and the more powerful the soul body, the stronger the self-consciousness will naturally be, not that their own soul thoughts are so strong that it is unimaginable, and if they can't control it, when they resist the soul, the greater the possibility of backlash. A powerful soul envoy is, of course, a supreme being. But most of the time, because it is difficult to cultivate, it is not as good as the soul of the contract. Covenant soul envoys, that is, people and some powerful soul bodies form a contractual relationship through a certain equivalent exchange. On weekdays, through one's own practice, you can provide for the contracted soul body, and at critical times, you can also summon the contract soul body to do various things through special items and agreements, or directly use some of the abilities of the contract soul body. ”

"There are two kinds of soul envoys, which is better or worse, and you can't simply look at the surface. Of course, in the records of some allusions, the legend has a more powerful form of soul messenger, but the record is unknown, and I don't know much. I only know that in my Huaxia country, there has not been such an amazing talent for hundreds of years. It's really sad to think about it. When Xu Fuzi said this, there seemed to be a trace of regret on his face.

"As for the guardians, they are the guardians of one side, and most of them exist as the eyes and ears of the soul envoys. It is usually filled by people who have strong souls but have not been able to form soul bodies, and such people can not only see the soul body, but also communicate with the soul body. It is also extremely talented in a certain aspect, and has its own merits, take your third uncle as an example, his research on feng shui physiognomy and the four pillars of Zhou Yi, not only is not the average Jianghu warlock can be compared, but even many famous I Ching masters are also incomparable, otherwise he will not be able to do such a thing as helping your grandmother and the seven stars to continue her life. It's just, it's a pity, it's a pity. Xu Fuzi seemed to be remembering something, and he was immersed in his own thoughts.

"Old Xu, Old Xu......" After waiting for a while, Ling Lang saw that Master Xu was still "fugue", so he couldn't help but shake his hand in front of Master Xu's eyes, and shouted softly.

"Oh, I don't know why lately, my mind is floating, and it's always easy to wander. I always feel like something is going to happen, but I don't have the divination skills of your third uncle. After thinking about it, I didn't come up with a reason. Let's get down to business. Aware of his gaffe, Xu Fuzi was also a little old-fashioned.

"I've already told you about the general situation, and we will have to contact each other in the future, so I'll see you some details. Now, I'll teach you some of the most basic ways to condense your soul. ”

"Condense the soul body?"

"That's right, the Soul Condensing Technique. ”
