Chapter Forty-Seven: The Origin of the Hunting Spirit
The Hunting Spirit Garrison Brigade was established very early, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the same age as the country. But why was this somewhat mysterious spiritual brigade set up in that era of breaking feudal superstitions? It turned out that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, in order to stabilize the political situation and crack down on the infiltration of our country by external forces, the national security department organized a team to dig out those secret agents who were hiding in the shadows. In the process, he met many people with mystical skills, which made many members of the national security team sacrifice. At the suggestion of those people with lofty ideals who were full of patriotic enthusiasm, it was composed of outstanding disciples recommended by the major famous mountain sects who had a tradition of cultivating the spirit and cultivating qi.
At first, I just asked those knights with miraculous abilities to assist the national security team. This has really reduced a lot of casualties. Later, the state came forward to recruit those strange people and join the national security team. However, where there are people, there will be disputes. Although the strange man has miraculous skills, he also has a distinct personality, is unrestrained, and sometimes conflicts with the national security team. In order to solve this problem, the people with miraculous skills were directly separated and this spirit hunting garrison brigade was formed, which was organized into a special series under the army, but was under the direct jurisdiction of the state.
In order to cooperate with the new establishment, these people learned from each other's strengths and weaknesses and refined a set of exercises, called "Gathering Stars to Open the Spirit Xuangong" and a set of "Thirteen Star General Arrays" suitable for many people to practice. "Gathering Stars and Opening Spiritual Xuangong" is divided into Qi training, knotting, spiritual cultivation, three steps, the restriction on qualifications is reduced to the minimum, as long as there is perseverance to pass the three levels of entry, you can enter the reserve team, within one year you can reach the first layer of Qi training, you can enter the grassroots exercise, three years to reach the three layers of internal Qi training, you can practice the formation. The "Thirteen Star Generals" array takes the name of the Big Dipper and the Southern Dipper, and matches each other. The Beidou master dies, the offense responds to the battle, the Nandou master lives, the defense guards, the advance and retreat are orderly, and the life and death judgment is made.
After more than half a century of arduous development, countless ancestors and masters have spent their efforts and even their lives to pull out countless "nails" wedged in the land of China, and gradually changed from weak to strong, and have become the current scale of "one game with seven teams of 150 people". It's just that if it's simple to find a person who works and runs errands, but finding someone with good qualifications, it's hard to find, and you can't see one of them, which is also the main reason why the Spirit Hunting Brigade is only one hundred and fifty people. Moreover, these one hundred and fifty people are not all excellent, all of them are excellent, only eighteen people can be called excellent, broke through the realm of qi training, and began to condense Yuan Dan. These eighteen people were all appointed as captains and their peers, and there were thirty more who had reached the fourth level of Qi training through the meridians, and fifteen people were left in the headquarters bureau, and the others were assigned to each team and became the backbone force. The rest are grassroots forces.
With the integration of international standards in recent years, some unknown forces have once again mixed into the country under various names with the opening of the door. Their methods of doing things have not changed, and they are still opening the way with money. However, due to the growing strength of our country and the gradual improvement of our international status, for the sake of their own security, they have acted more covertly and low-key, and they will not easily reveal their goals.
In the course of a few short exchanges between the Spirit Hunting Brigade and those people, they found some very unusual things, those people are different from ordinary criminals, they have strong discipline and strong anti-detection capabilities, and compared with decades ago, their strength is stronger, ordinary soldiers can't get close to them at all, even specially trained soldiers can't help them. It must be broken by a person from a spirit hunting brigade with mystical skills, or by a hermit who hides among the people, and can be broken by a cultivator. It's just that although there are a large number of them, they are very scattered and do not gather easily, so it is impossible to catch them all. Although it destroyed many of their strongholds, it did not hurt them at all, and it was of no avail.
In the face of such a cunning and powerful enemy, the manpower of the Spirit Hunting Brigade is obviously insufficient. Therefore, he often asks the major famous mountains to borrow some disciples who can take charge of themselves to assist the Spirit Hunting Brigade in completing some tasks, just like Bai Qingluan and the three of them. Fortunately, all the sects in the country are full of national righteousness, and they will not refuse the requests of the Spirit Hunting Brigade. It's just that it's agreed that it's limited to three years, and every three years, it will be rotated.
The Chinese practice of self-cultivation and qi cultivation pays attention to the gradual and step-by-step practice, and it is possible to reach a certain level after years of cultivation. Therefore, for thousands of years, most of the Chinese sects have avoided the world and practiced penance, living in seclusion in the mountains, seeking peace of mind. If so, you will definitely go mad and eat yourself. In this way, even a disciple with excellent qualifications would need nearly ten years of penance to draw qi into the body before he could reach the birth standards of his respective sects. If you want to become a grandmaster, it will take decades before you can reach the state of rebirth, and at this moment you are more than half a hundred years old, and you can already start a sect and teach disciples. It's just that he still hasn't entered the path of immortals, and can only be counted as the foundation for cultivating immortals, and only by continuing to cultivate can he reach the realm of refining qi and transforming gods, and he first touched the ethereal immortal gate, but at this time, many people's longevity is insufficient, and they regret it for life.
For this reason, in order to be able to quickly reach the entry level, we do not hesitate to take risks and find shortcuts. There were many alchemists, such as Ge Hong. However, the materials for alchemy are all rare treasures and are extremely difficult to find. The righteous people have gone into the deep mountains and valleys, but the evil people have stretched out their hands to the masses and even plundered the righteous people. Then it led to the struggle between good and evil, how could justice exist in heaven and earth, and the evil and crooked ways were suppressed. However, although the evil path has entered the evil sect, the method of rapid growth and cultivation has aroused the envy of countless people, and they have thrown themselves away, including countless famous disciples. In this way, between the righteous path and the evil path, there is an outer way, which is the outer eight gates. It's just that, with the advancement of time, the righteous path fits the avenue of the world, and naturally carries forward and is revered by all people. And because the evil way is too evil and vicious, it is not despised by the world, so it gradually disappears.
On the contrary, the Outer Eight Gates, which are called the outer ways, have declared that they are both righteous and evil, and they do not obey the law and do not abide by the law. and pretended to use the Mohist ideology of "love and non-attack" to wantonly shelter villains and traitors, conniving at them to gather in the mountains and forests, fall into the grass, and do the business of robbing wealth and silk, deception and fraud. and has participated in the battle for hegemony of the change of dynasties many times, intending to get involved in the artifact of the country. If it weren't for the timely birth of the righteous people, perhaps the whole of China would have fallen into their hands. After all, what is contained by the Outer Eight Gates is just a group of stragglers who do whatever they want, and it is not a big deal.
Until the era of entering the new society, the outer eight gates were still a social problem, but there was no need to worry about it. The state also has the means to deal with them, and they have learned to be well-behaved, to restrain their breath, and to be careful. In recent decades, he has hidden his head and tail in the shadows. Although they are gone. It's just that their destructive power has not diminished, directing their spokesmen, spreading rumors, causing panic among the population; monopolizing the market, hoarding, causing prices to skyrocket; disrupting the audio-visual, exporting to the masses the values of selfishness and money, making family feelings indifferent; Relying on his own financial advantages, he formed a class barrier and cut off the road for the Pulau masses to enter the court; corrupting power with money and beauty, and wreaking havoc on internal unity; Under the instruction of Western anti-China organizations, they have wantonly glorified Western democracy, belittled the value of Chinese, and attracted a large number of irresolute people to leave China and become slaves of the West; Even at home, in the name of international friendship, they have wantonly elevated the status of foreigners and treated them more than the people.
Jiang Huaishan talked about many things in one breath, not only about the Hunting Spirit Garrison, but also mixed with a lot of secret anecdotes, as well as some things about the Outer Eight Gates, especially when it came to the corrosion and destruction of the country by the Outer Eight Gates, he was even more heartbroken, angry, and tensed.
Gu Yunzhe looked at Jiang Huaishan in front of him, as if he had changed into a different person, without the gloomy and serious, the kind of righteous indignation that was inadvertently revealed made him feel cordial. That's what he wants to see, not the one who always wears a gentle smiling mask. He raised the teacup in his hand with both hands, stood up, and bowed deeply to Jiang Huaishan, "Brother Jiang, your national righteousness and broad-mindedness make me feel small and ignorant. Here, I would like to express my sincere apologies to you for my own villainous heart! ”
Jiang Huaishan also stood up, holding Gu Yunzhe's arm with both hands, with a relieved face, "Brother Gu, it's still the same sentence, we are brothers who have experienced life and death together." No distinction between each other! ”
Lao Xue also stood next to him and said with a smile: "Cheers to our Spirit Hunting Brigade with a good brother like you!" ”
The three of them drank their tea and laughed.
After a thrilling night in Yanggu County, the Hunting Spirit Garrison returned to the capital. Many people are ridiculing that this business trip is the shortest one, and the package is not opened, so it is carried back again. After Lao Xue took the team members to send them on the plane, he returned to the branch in Jinan.
Gu Yunzhe did not return to their base with Jiang Huaishan, but returned home directly. The parents were also overjoyed to see Gu Yunzhe come back so soon. However, the old monk saw Gu Yunzhe's haggard look, and just asked too much, and simply said hello to Gu Yunzhe.
After greeting the three of them for a while, Gu Yunzhe returned to the bedroom. At this time, the trouser leg of the right leg is lifted, revealing the black and purple ring pattern on the calf, and it goes around the leg. At this time, there is no longer that cold feeling, and when you touch it with your hand, it is like a tattoo, without any uneven feeling, it seems to be just a pattern.
He hugged his calves and looked left and right for a long time, but he didn't see what the pattern looked like. Like a flame, like a branch, more like a flower crown.
"Colorful, do you know what kind of pattern this is?" Gu Yunzhe suddenly remembered Wucai.
"I can't say this pattern well, it seems to be a tribal totem. Have you ever tried to snoop with your mind? Wucai proposed.
Because he was with the people of the Spirit Hunting Brigade, there were many people and it was inconvenient to check, Gu Yunzhe suppressed the urge to check with his meditation sense, and after returning home, he had no worries at this time, and just now he just wanted to learn more about the situation from Wucai and make preparations, but Wucai couldn't even answer it.
Gu Yunzhe sat cross-legged, scattered his consciousness, and explored the pattern. It's just the moment I first came into contact with that pattern. The pattern suddenly wriggled and contracted rapidly, emerging from the skin and turning into a cloud of purple mist. Unexpectedly, he followed his consciousness and rushed to his eyebrows Heavenly Gate.
Gu Yunzhe originally wanted to cut off his consciousness immediately, but after thinking about it, he was invincible to all poisons, and Lei Jiao's spirit body just took a look at what this purple mist intended.
I saw that after this black mist entered the Heavenly Gate, it did not swim away wantonly, but floated above the Heavenly Palace, slowly swam, and gradually contracted, and finally turned into a fist-sized purple bead, which was still slowly rotating above the Heavenly Palace.
Gu Yunzhe's meditation consciousness was carefully examined around the purple beads, and the purple beads revealed a trace of coldness, the surface was like a spar, clean and dust-free, and through the surface, it could be seen that there was a crystal nucleus like a jujube core inside.
Wucai looked at it for a moment and said, "This should be the gluttonous spiritual sense, or the soul." ”
Hearing him explain this, Gu Yunzhe couldn't help frowning, "Soul! Will it be dangerous to my body, and it won't give me a dove nest inside, right? ”
"No, it's unconscious, it's just a memory. This can be regarded as its soul, but it is not a soul, but something that gluttonously performs spiritual techniques, so it is called its 'spiritual sense', and you can learn some spiritual skills with this gluttony, which is beneficial. Wucai laughed.
"Learning? How to learn to devour this bead? Gu Yunzhe asked.
Wucai laughed, "If the gluttony is not dead, you can't swallow its spiritual sense." You can use the Thunder Jiao Spirit Body to incorporate this purple bead into your body, count it as a spirit core, and use it as a memory, and you can see all the spirit element skills of the glutton. ”
Gu Yunzhe suddenly realized, according to the colorful statement, Lei Jiao swallowed the purple bead.
