Chapter 6: Soul Notes
"That's?"
Looking at the yellow animal skin scroll floating in front of him, Tang Wuming was stunned for a moment, and there was a black font floating on the writing, as if a little ghost was jumping on it.
The voice that scolded Tang Wusheng just now sounded out of thin air again: "If you can read the words on it, you can push the door and come in to see me." ”
"Reading?"
Don't look at the tribes in the Luoling area, they all live by hunting and farming, just like the most primitive barbarians, but whether it is the quicksand tribe or other tribes, they will have font communication and literacy, which is the first thing these tribes' children have to learn, and even before cultivating the Immortal Dao.
Therefore, Tang Wuming was no exception, he began to read and write at the age of four, which of course did not bother him.
However, is it really as simple as literacy, and if it is that simple, it only proves that the white eyebrows are too boring. However, Bai Mei, as a top soul master in the quicksand tribe and even in the Luoling area, even spent all his time on soul cultivation, a person who cherished time so much, would he take the time to make these such boring halls?
The answer, of course, is no, and Tang Wuming also realized at the beginning that this is not as simple as just literacy.
He steadied himself, concentrated his mind as much as he could, and slowly walked towards the yellow animal skin scroll.
The black font was beating wantonly on the animal skin roll, giving people a dazzling feeling, Tang Wuming looked at it fixedly, and couldn't help frowning, where is this word, it is completely countless dense little ghosts, jumping around on the animal skin roll.
It's not that simple.
Tang Wuming must have a thought, since Bai Mei asked him to read the content on this scroll, he would definitely not deceive him, although these dense things seem to be some little ghosts with teeth and claws, it must be a font, but Tang Wuming has not been able to concentrate his energy to a certain extent and see their prototype.
Tang Wusheng concentrated, staring intently at the beast skin scroll, and after only staring at it for a few seconds, he felt groggy, and those little ghosts became more and more open-toothed and dance-clawed, making Tang Wusheng's energy unable to concentrate, and even began to spin around.
"Be calm, be calm. ”
Tang Wuming closed his eyes for a moment, then shook his head violently a few times, looked at the scroll again, and after a few seconds, he was groggy again.
Back and forth like this, between opening and closing, several hours passed unconsciously, Tang Wuming's energy was being consumed little by little, his face was even a little pale, and he had already had a feeling of nausea and wanting to vomit.
However, all of this was restrained by Tang Wuming's efforts, although his energy was being consumed, Tang Wuming was still trying to concentrate, and finally, after three hours, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the originally beating imp's movements gradually slowed down.
After another hour, Tang Wuming was already sweating profusely, and the whole person seemed to be about to collapse at any time, his lips became very chapped, as if he hadn't drunk water for several days, his chapped lips slowly opened and closed, and a weak voice came out.
"Man has three souls, namely the main soul, the awakened soul and the living soul"
"I see. ”
Although Tang Wuming was almost in prostration, he didn't even know if his closed lips were controlled by his will, but the weak voice coming from his mouth made him thunder.
"Go on. ”
After seeing the first row of fonts on this scroll, Tang Wusheng, who was originally weak, seemed to suddenly have the spirit again, he endured the discomfort of his body, and continued to look at the fonts on the scroll, the beating imp became settled, and just stood there quietly.
"After the death of a mortal, the living soul will dissipate, if this person is a great good person, he will have the opportunity to be reincarnated in the heavenly realm, and those who reach the heavenly realm will be united with the main soul and the awakened soul, and those who go to the human world will be destroyed, and the new awakened soul will be reincarnated for a lifetime. ”
Reading the second row of words on the scroll, Tang Wuming seemed more confident, those little ghosts seemed to be completely conquered by him, and gradually transformed into a familiar font and floated on the scroll, although Tang Wuming was very tired, he was still in a hurry.
"Reading for a while and taking a break will make me seem more miserable, so it's better to read it all at once. ”
At this time, Tang Wusheng was already bloodshot in his eyes, and even blood was overflowing in his nostrils, mouth, and ears, he clenched his fists, his nails were embedded in the flesh, and he tried to hold on: "Concentrate your spirit, comprehend the way of the soul, and do it in one go." ”
The sound gradually became louder from the weakness at the beginning, and finally it was like a bell, resounding throughout the barren mountain.
"And those who cultivate immortals can go against the sky, before becoming immortals, they can awaken and condense the three souls, and after becoming immortals, they can make the three souls become a life soul, and through the seven spirits to practice the soul clone, this doppelganger is called a ghost immortal. ”
"Soul cultivation is a necessary cultivation process for every immortal cultivator, the soul is equivalent to the spirit, it is an indispensable part of the cultivation path, the soul is strong, when cultivating immortals, you can get twice the result with half the effort, and there are some extremely mysterious and powerful exercises that only the soul strong can cultivate, and this kind of mysterious exercises are often called soul arts. In addition, when the three souls awaken, the soul consciousness attack can even directly double the combat power of the main body. ”
"Soul cultivation is wonderful, the most important thing is that the reason why immortal cultivators can change their lives against the sky is because soul cultivation can help people increase their longevity, mortal life is at most a hundred years old, but as long as the three souls awaken one soul, the longevity can be increased to three hundred years old, and the awakening of two souls can be increased to eight hundred years old, as for all three souls to awaken, there is no problem in living for thousands of years. ”
"And after the soul clone becomes a ghost immortal, it can truly transcend reincarnation, which is also one of the important reasons why immortals can live forever. ”
Reading this, Tang Wusheng stopped violently, because this was obviously to the very end of the scroll's content, and after this, there were still the last two words, at this time, the hall was already bleeding from seven holes, and he was extremely weak, but he still used his last strength to read the last two words.
These two characters are not the slightest difference from the previous font, like the title of the scroll presented on this scroll - Soul Record.
The Soul Record, as the name suggests, is a record of some basic understandings of soul cultivation, and after reading the Soul Record, the content on this scroll has been deeply engraved in Tang Wuming's mind, and it can be regarded as his true contact with the way of soul cultivation.
The stone door opened automatically, and a faint halo came from inside, blurring the vision, but making the outline of the skull-shaped stone house more and more obvious, it seemed to be opening his bloody mouth, about to devour Tang Wu's life.
"You, you can come in. ”
The voice sounded again, Tang Wuming nodded slightly, took heavy steps, and slowly walked towards the stone house.
The scenes inside shocked Tang Wusheng.
If the barren mountains outside gave Tang Wuming an eerie feeling, then inside this stone house, it can be described as terrifying.
On the stone wall, there are blood-red paintings everywhere, almost all of them are terrifying-looking yakshas, ghost patterns, and even a wall specially carved with scenes from the eighteen layers of hell.
It was simply placed, but there were all kinds of bones scattered around, some with vague flesh and blood, exuding a strong smell of blood.
"Beast bones, demon beast bones, and even human bones. ”
Looking at these scattered bones, Tang Wuming trembled violently, why, this is the scene, Bai Mei, who seems to have been cultivating his soul on this barren mountain, where did he get so many bones, and many of them are still fresh, as if they had just been brought here.
"Could it be that the cultivation of this soul needs to rely on slaughter?"
Tang Wusheng suddenly felt a little terrifying, if he really had to do this to cultivate the path of the soul, what was the difference between it and the legendary demon who lost his humanity?
In the middle of the stone house, there was a very familiar but unfamiliar back to Tang Wuming, and he knew very well in his heart that that person must be the white-eyed grandfather he hadn't seen for eight years.
Ten years ago, Bai Mei and the old man Mo Long rescued Tang Wusheng back to the quicksand tribe on the bank of the Luo River, and in the first two years, Bai Mei, like Mo Long, loved Tang Wusheng a lot, and even loved Tang Wuji a lot.
However, eight years ago, Bai Mei, who originally had some attainments and talents in soul cultivation, got a chance by chance when he inadvertently passed by the barren mound, a chance that allowed him to advance by leaps and bounds under the intensity of soul cultivation.
After he came back, Bai Mei moved to this barren mountain, studying the soul art all day long, although the achievements in soul attainments have been quite terrifying in the past few years, and even the awakening soul awakening cultivation to the peak state, but his temperament has changed greatly, even to a terrifying point.
Tang Wuming hasn't seen a white eyebrow face for eight years, the last time he saw him because of Molon's affairs, he was just a back, and now when he sees him again, there are many emotions intersecting together, is this person in front of him still the kind white-eyed grandfather he knew when he was a child?
Bai Mei seemed to have already guessed what Tang Wusheng was thinking, and said: "If there are no bumps in the way of soul cultivation, what is the use of cultivating, don't think that I am a demon who has lost my humanity, don't they often catch some beasts in the Black Lawson Prison for you to use as targets for training? As for these bones, they are all notorious wicked people within a hundred miles nearby, damn it." ”
"Each cultivation method has its own special and different characteristics, but whether it is the so-called ontological immortal path, or the spiritual soul path, or the legendary way of the gods after cultivating the natal primordial god, there is an undeniable commonality, without slaughter, how can it grow?"
Although Tang Wuming absolutely said Bai Mei was very reasonable, and even not bad at all, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say anything about what was wrong, and in the end he could only silently accept Bai Mei's point of view, which may be correct.
Even if it was wrong, in order to avenge his grandfather, Tang Wuming had to accept him as if he was right.
"Grandpa White-browned. ”
"Yes. Tang Wuming didn't expect that he called the other party's grandfather, Bai Mei actually agreed, he thought that Bai Mei had already forgotten him, and he had never done it.
Bai Mei, who had been facing away from Tang Wuming, finally turned around, but when he saw Bai Mei's face, the strong shock had been condensed on Tang Wumei's face, and it had not dissipated for a long time.
