Chapter 2 Animism
On the envelope was written the words 'Jing'er personally opened', which was the mother's handwriting. Ximen Jing's heart throbbed, and he opened the envelope with trembling hands, and poured out two pages of stationery and a strange thing inside.
"Jing'er, when you see this letter, you are separated from us by yin and yang. Don't be sad and listen to me. The accidents that happened on this trip to Europe were all expected, and the result was the death of both my husband and wife, and you must be very strange, why should it be so when we have expected it? You cannot understand all this at this time, and you will know when the time comes. ”
Before today, Ximen Jing had always regarded the plane crash as an accident, but the contents revealed in the letter made the plane crash smell of a strange conspiracy.
Seeing this, Ximen Jing burst into tears, his nails pierced deep into his palms, and the blood stained the snow-white letter paper, he wiped his tears and continued to read.
"At this moment, you are almost penniless, don't be surprised, Zhizi Mo Ruomu, you can't hide your virtue from your mother and father, now you are planning to sell this villa, and you are determined to work hard, so you found out here, mother is not wrong, right?"
Ximen Jing nodded again and again, and muttered to himself: "Don't worry, this time my son will do what he says!"
"Jing'er, who doesn't have a few stories? Heartbreaking, tears flowing, we are very relieved that you can come out and cheer up again. When I was a kid, you always asked you if those were true, and I told you every time they were true. What lies beneath the surface of this world can always subvert many people's three views. Now you have to remember what I said below, that all things have a spirit, and that a spirit is wisdom, and that the wise can speak. People talk about beasts, the sun, the moon, mountains and rivers, and even tables, chairs and benches, all have their own language, but mortals hear but do not hear and turn a blind eye. But you're not mortal!"
Not a mortal? Ximen Jing was full of excitement, what is that?
"For thousands of years, there has been a kind of existence hidden in the red dust, called the Spirit Whisperer, and our family is one of the inheritances! The thing in the envelope is called the Spirit Medium, you can use it to prick your finger now, and then you can get the family inheritance and become a beginner Spirit Whisperer! As for what a Spirit Whisperer is, I have put a book in your small warehouse, and you can understand it systematically after reading it. You must not move the bottles on the shelves, and the villa cannot be sold. As for how you will go in the future, don't forget a word, have a clear conscience, and don't be ridiculous!
Ximen Jing read this letter three times, and one mystery after another rose in his heart, how did his parents know what would happen in the future, and why did they even get involved in danger when they knew that there was danger? Spirit Whisperer, and family inheritance, what is all this? And the conspiracy behind it, who would want to harm himself and his family again and again so viciously?
To unravel these secrets, the only way to do this is to become a spiritual whisperer according to the wishes of his parents, and Ximen Jing believes that even if the whole world is against him, his parents will not harm him!
Yiyan burned the letter paper and picked up the strange thing in the envelope. It's a bit like a drop of crystal, crystal clear and shiny. Ximen Jing stabbed the tip of his palm on his hand, blood gushed, and the water droplet, as if melted, quickly drilled into it.
Ximen Jing was taken aback, waited for a long time, and did not find any discomfort in his body. Then he walked out of the secret room full of suspicion, moved the cabinet back to its place, and climbed the stairs up the third floor to his room. Everyone always has some secrets hidden in unknown places when they are young, but these childish things can't be hidden from their parents.
Beneath the leg of the bed, a tile is lifted, and inside is a small warehouse that carries childhood memories. There are some things that Ximen Jing thought were precious when he was a child, colorful glass balls, comic books, and even a few pieces of aged chocolate, and on top of these things is an old thread-bound book.
The Ximen official sneered, what era is it now, how good it would be to send an e-mail directly! The book is a tobacco leaf yellow cover, and on it are written four small seal characters of the Lingshi's record. To understand those mysteries and find all the truths, we must first understand what a spirit whisperer is.
The yellowed pages of the book slowly opened, and the beginning was the passage in the letter: 'All things have spirits, and spirits are wisdom, and the wise can speak.' People say that beasts have beast language...... 'The whole book is not thick, only more than 200 pages, and the Ximen officials read it very carefully.
The content of the book is divided into three parts, the first part is an introduction to the spiritual whisperer and the way of practice, and the second part is an introduction to the spiritual object. The third part is obscure, Ximen Jing didn't understand what he was doing, which mentioned a few words such as the spirit world, the spirit master, the coming of the two moons, and the origin of the universe, and the others were all like chickens and ducks, but he firmly believed that when he understood the previous things, this part would also be self-evident.
Ximen Jing, who couldn't let go of the scroll, didn't sleep all night, his eyes were red like rabbits, he put down the Lingshi transcript that he had read three times, stretched his waist, and said to himself: "Is it me crazy, or is this person who writes books crazy?"
The book says that since ancient times, those who can perceive spirituality are called Xuanmen and are divided into three schools. One of them is Wu, since the Yellow Emperor defeated Chiyou, Wu wandered in southern Xinjiang and rarely appeared in the Central Plains, and now Wu, Gu, and head are all its inheritance.
Second, he was a monk, which later developed into Taoism, and then spread to several religions in the west.
The third is the spirit whisperer, known as the spirit master in ancient times, whose foundation is the Five Elements Doctrine. Originated in ancient times, Nuwa Niangniang refining colorful stones to make up the sky, the world felt the power of the five elements, and there were spirits appearing.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, Gongye Chang, one of the seventy-two sages under Confucius, could understand the words of birds and beasts, and was one of the best. In the post-Warring States period, Zou Yan, a native of Qi, founded the Five Elements and said that the Lingshi could be regarded as perfect and self-contained.
The inheritance of the spiritual priests is relatively secretive, and the requirements for blood are high, basically from father to son, son to grandson, from generation to generation, and disciples are never widely set up to teach.
The branch of the Ximen family can be traced back to the Ximen family during the Warring States Period, when the Ximen family once produced a great power - Ximen Leopard. When this person was an official in Ye County, he overwhelmed Zhanghe Hebo. The story of how 12 canals were grown on the flat land to irrigate the farmland for the benefit of the people has been passed down to this day and has even been incorporated into secondary school texts.
According to the meaning of the book, the creatures and utensils in this world, including mountains, rivers, rivers and moons, all have spirits, and the entities are only illusory, and the spirits are the eternal essence. The so-called spirit whisperer is a messenger who can communicate with spiritual objects in words, and a deep spiritual whisperer can also control and control spiritual objects.
At the end of the Lingshi transcript, there was a line of pencil writing on the back cover of the book, which was also the mother's handwriting: 'Jing'er, when you see this line of words, it means that you have been inherited, and when you reach the realm of Tongxuan, you will naturally understand more things!'
The spirit medium is the key to unlocking spiritual power, and now Ximen Jing should be regarded as an entry-level spirit whisperer, but he didn't feel any changes. In any case, Ximen Jing decided to start absorbing aura in the way the book said, and used facts to confirm the authenticity.
In the early morning of the third day, the snow finally stopped, and the distant mountains and wilderness were covered with snow. Ximen Jing sat cross-legged for a night, and he didn't feel the kind of spiritual energy mentioned in the book at all, and the only change in his body was that his legs were numb. Tired and hungry, he reached for the biscuits on the coffee table and found that only the wrapping paper was left, and the drink was only an empty bottle.
The food brought this time has been eaten and drunk, and if you stay any longer, you will be hungry, and it is not uncommon for people in this barren mountain and wild range to be starved to death, so I decided to return to Cloud City first. Before leaving, he left a note for Old Man Hu, explaining that he had been here.
