Chapter 20: Illusion and Spirituality
"Father, I don't understand, I obviously went out with Jack for a morning, how do you say three days?"
"You two have been out for three whole days!" Coren hadn't recovered from his anxiety.
The group of soldiers were chattering about something, and when they saw Prince Turks standing safely in front of them, they couldn't help but be overjoyed, and they all ran over to ask this and that.
But Jack and Turks were still puzzled: why did they say that we had been out for three days, even though they had been out for a morning, but judging from the behavior of the whole crowd, it was not like a joke, and there was no need to make such a joke.
After the two of them had eaten, they stood together in front of the window of Jack's room, looking at the sunlight all over the floor, and Jack asked Tex, "Did you notice anything unusual when Doug asked us to learn spiritualism in the morning?"
Turks was staring out the window in a daze, and it was a moment late before he replied to Jack, "Well, no." That's what makes me feel weird."
"No, think about it. Jack continued.
Turks struggled to remember what had happened, always feeling that everything was normal and that there was nothing worth noting. He shook his head.
"Then I ask you, what did you see the moment he took your hand?" Jack reminded.
Turks remembered in his mind that he had indeed seen something. "Oh, by the way! I saw a city, and the inhabitants were happy, and everyone was happy and had no worries. Teck finally remembered something special.
Jack, on the other hand, saw a beautiful world, full of beautiful creatures and plants. And these are the future homes of the Garland people he dreams of!
Yes, finally got a clue. The moment Doug grabbed their hands, their minds suddenly appeared with their own deepest dreams! Turks hoped that the country would be stable and the people would live and work in peace and contentment, while Jack hoped that the Garland people would have a beautiful home on the mainland.
The surroundings fell silent, and the two of them thought back to the dream that seemed to be real and illusory, and suddenly as if they thought of something, they spoke together: "How to use the spirit summoning technique!"
Doug didn't tell Jack and Turks what the evoker was, what it does, how it works and how it works, but only that what was passed on to them was the evoker. But these two clever people, without much thought, knew what the essence of the use of this spiritualizing technique was.
"Let's go to the back hills!" Jack suggested. Tex nodded in agreement, and excitedly ran with Jack to the back hill.
The sunshine is the same as their mood at the moment, so good.
It turned out that the illusion that appeared in their minds at that time was not just an illusion, but a different spiritual power given to them by Doug for their different personalities!
"Turks, you come first, I'll come first?" asked Jack, looking at Turks nervously and excitedly.
"I'll do it!" said Tex firmly. Because what he thought was that if the guess of the two people was correct, then his spirit summoning technique should also be relatively strong, after all, he was a prince.
So, Turks strode out into the clearing of the woods, taking a deep breath of the air to relax himself.
"If you take what you are good at, you will be a superior person, and if you make up for your shortcomings, you will help yourself live forever......" Turks thought about Doug's words, and gradually calmed his mind. Time seemed to pass slowly at this moment, everything around me was moving quietly, the rustle of leaves, the whirring of the wind, and even the touch of the sun on his face were all blocked, and only his own breath could be heard.
A city that had appeared before appeared in front of him, and a group of people were chasing each other with laughter. It was a bazaar, and Tex's journey deeper into the illusion led him out of the city gates and into the outskirts. That's right, this is it!
Outside the city, there was a man in brocade clothes, holding a long sword, and he was gesturing in the air one move at a time. Turks could not see his face, and could only imitate his moves, placing himself in a vision.
The person in the illusion, with the complexity of the moves, the body also jumps on the ground more and more rapidly. Tex watched intently as he followed his example.
At this time, the phantom man suddenly threw the sword into the air, and shouted in his mouth: "Heavenly Sword Technique!" The sword flew high into the air, straight into the sky, and suddenly turned into a huge tiger in the air! Roaring, it rushed straight to the ground, and rushed out of a large crater with a diameter of 100 meters on the ground, and the shock wave around the big crater formed a circle of barriers, and a wave of power flew to the periphery, shaking the ground and shaking the mountains! Turks was stunned by this scene. However, while he was in a daze, the phantom man suddenly turned his gaze to him and smiled mysteriously.
"Doug!" Turks found out, he was Doug!
Doug didn't say anything, just motioned in the distance for him to do so.
Turks suddenly grabbed a sword in his hand for some reason. Could it be that Doug is letting himself learn this "Heavenly Sword Technique"?
He understood, learned Doug's moves, and wielded his sword.
It worked!
It turns out that this is the spirit summoning technique that Doug taught himself!
"Tex, Tex", suddenly heard Jack's call in his ears, and he woke up from his vision.
"Did it work? I saw that you were sweating, so I called you. Jack explained.
Tex nodded happily and said, "Well, it worked! It turns out that the spirit summoning technique is not one kind of spiritual technique, it is two! Just now in the illusion, I saw Doug! It's him, that's right!"
As soon as Jack heard Turks' good news, he was also overjoyed: "Then, let me see what my spirit summoning technique is!"
So, Jack walked quickly to the clearing, and also entered the illusion.
This is a meadow, where some cattle and sheep are quietly eating grass, dragonflies and butterflies are flying, and flowers exude a charming fragrance. In the distance, a small stream runs through the meadow, and on the other side of the stream, a dozen houses are slowly smoking. When Jack saw this, he couldn't help but smile slightly: these are the lives of the future Garland people that he fantasized about as a whole!
"Jack. Suddenly, a deep voice came from my ears.
"This voice is so familiar...... Doug!" Jack looked in the direction from which the voice came and saw a small pavilion.
The pavilion unobtrusively appeared behind a small slope, and inside the pavilion, Doug was sitting on a stone bench, with a jug of wine on the table in front of him, and Doug was drinking with a wine glass.
Jack walked over.
Doug picked up another glass and handed it to Jack.
"Drink it," Doug said. Jack did so.
The wine, sweet at first, irritated his throat and stomach like a fire in his stomach, but after that, Jack felt a sense of refreshment.
"Jack, the spirit summoning technique I gave you is different from Tex's Heavenly Sword Technique. Doug said.
Jack looked at him strangely, waiting for Doug to continue.
Doug drank the wine in his glass, pointed to the harmonious natural scenery in the distance, and said: "This world will be reborn every 10,000 years, and every 10,000 years, there will be a person who saves the common people. And now, you are the one who appears in 10,000 years. ”
Jack was puzzled by Doug's words, and Doug's words seemed a bit exaggerated to him: "One in 10,000 years?"
"Yes. Don't try to understand what this means. Doug said.
At this time, Jack found that the space around him suddenly changed like a star!
"It's, it's not in my dreams...... A thousand years ago!?" he couldn't help but be shocked by the sight.
At this time, Doug said calmly: "No, this is not a war that appeared a thousand years ago, but something that has been happening on this continent for hundreds of thousands of years. ”
Doug continued: "The scene in your mind is just a refraction. You must know that this human world has the same origin and the same ending, one reincarnation every 10,000 years, and a catastrophe every 10,000 years. ”
"Is this Holocaust a war of mankind, like the war of the century a thousand years ago?" asked Jack.
"Look at your wine glass. Doug said. Then, Jack picked up the glass of wine he had just drunk, and was surprised to find that the glass that had been drunk was now slowly filled with wine, and Jack asked Ask Ger why.
Doug smiled and said, "Actually, this is reincarnation. Everything you see, without exception, is in a circle, what you think is gone, in fact, is there, what you think is gone, is actually reborn. That's why I'm teaching you spiritualism. ”
Jack understood a little, but also didn't understand the meaning of these words, he thought for a moment and said, "So, Doug, what ...... did you teach me about the spirit summoning technique?"
"Hahaha!" Doug laughed, "It seems that you still haven't figured out what I mean by what I told you!"
Jack, who was already in the clouds, was disturbed by Doug's laughter and became even more confused: "This ...... Why don't you just tell me?"
"Haha, Jack, this world itself is in reincarnation, everything is in the inner thoughts. If you understand, then you can get what you want. It's very strong, and it can be said to be the only spiritual art in this world, but the key is what you think. Doug said solemnly.
Before Jack could ask again, Doug said, "Okay Jack, it's up to you whether you can make it or not." I have given you the ability to obtain spiritual power, and whether or not you can awaken it depends on yourself. I'm leaving, and we'll see you again later. ”
"But ......," Jack could say, and before Doug could finish his words, Doug disappeared with the illusion. He opened his eyes.
"What's the matter, what kind of spiritual magic is yours?" asked Tex, who had been waiting for a long time.
Jack was silent. He still couldn't figure out what Doug meant by what he said to him, and he didn't know why Doug said that he would only be a person who would save the world in 10,000 years. On the other hand, he really couldn't think of anything about him that a savior should have.
"Jack, what's wrong?" asked Tex again.
"I don't know. Doug didn't teach me spirituality. Jack was still thinking. He felt that until he figured it out, it was pointless to say anything.
Turks looked at Jack, who was a little lost, and was silent.
