Chapter 156: Spiritual Enlightenment
This old man, he has no name, and his sense of existence is very low, but he is the leader of everything. In other words, without this old man, there would be no whole story.
The original version of the story is that the old man entered a cave and saved a pangolin, and the pangolin told the old man that it had inadvertently penetrated the gourd mountain and let go of the two snake and scorpion demons in the suppression mountain.
So, with the help of the pangolin, the old man got the gourd seeds that can subdue demons and subdue demons, and after planting them, seven gourd babies grew and re-subdued the two demons of the snake and scorpion.
In fact, throughout the whole story, this old man is very unusual. At least, what he showed at the beginning was that the ability to collect medicine on the cliff was not comparable to ordinary people, and the work of cutting snakes with flying knives made more people embarrassed. Moreover, the reason why he was able to save the pangolin was because he moved away from the thousand-pound boulder that was pressed on the pangolin's hand in the cave, is this something that a normal person can do?
The most important point is that after he heard the pangolin say that the two snakes and scorpions had escaped, he was not so afraid, but just said that the villagers were going to suffer again. He just said that the folks did not include themselves at all.
Of course, this is just a dark speculation, and it stands to reason that it is possible for an animation to hide so many and so deep things.
However, when Sun Li saw the silver-robed Taoist priest in front of him, he had to think about it so much.
Grandpa, old man!
At this time, the Taoist priest opened his mouth and said slowly, "Boy, you can call me Yindao people, of course, if you are like them and call me grandpa, I don't mind." ”
"They?" Sun Li narrowed his eyes.
"Yes, they, my grandchildren. Presumably, on your way here, you have already encountered it. Let me think about it, well, they should be the ones that are red, orange two, yellow three, green four, blue five, blue six, and purple seven. Actually, there are too many people in this person, and it's not easy to choose a name, and seven is enough to give me a headache, so I have to name it with the seven colors of the rainbow. I really don't know, how to name those hundreds in the future, it's a headache?"
"Hundreds?" Sun Li said in a suppressed voice.
"yes, hundreds. The silver man nodded and said, "After all, when people get old, they are easy to get bored and panic, and it is good to create some grandchildren, and it is good to accompany me." ”
"Creation?" Sun Li's voice lowered this time.
"Are you surprised?" the old man smiled and explained slowly, "After all, I have no children and no daughters, and it is impossible to have a few grandchildren, so I can only create them myself." ”
When Sun Li saw the old man's smile, his whole person felt a chill, chewing on the word "creation", and couldn't help but think of some crazy biochemical scientists in the modern era.
At this time, the old man walked to a high platform, and then stretched out his hand to something on the high platform.
Sun Li saw that what was placed on the high platform was a gourd, a gourd with a purple body, purple and red, which was very unusual. And the high platform where he was stored was even more powerful, all made of unknown black stones. And Sun Li also keenly found that there were more than a dozen lines engraved on the surface of this high platform, well, more than a dozen lines that extended from the outside.
That's the formation pattern of countless Yuan Qi transmission!
And the end of all is this high platform, or this purple red gourd on the high platform?!
At this time, the old man had already taken the gourd off the high platform, then opened the mouth, tilted the body of the gourd, and poured a drop of almost transparent liquid inside into the container that had fused more than a dozen kinds of liquids before.
The next moment, the liquid dripped in, and Sun Li felt a "boom", and a condensed Yuan Qi exploded, as if setting off a Yuan Qi storm.
In fact, nothing happened, only the almost transparent drop, in the liquid of the container, kept spreading and scattering.
"This ...... This ......" Sun Li suddenly had a feeling of suffocation, and suddenly knew what this almost transparent liquid was, it was the vitality of the liquid, the vitality condensed to the extreme, and the vitality that was condensed into a drop for hundreds of miles!
What is this man going to do?
The next moment, the Silver Dao man spoke, "Don't be surprised, I'm just concocting a potion that can enhance cultivation in a short period of time. The main raw material is vitality, so I arranged a lot of spirit gathering arrays, extracted the vitality within a radius of a hundred miles, and used my magic weapon gourd to make this Nine Heavens Jade Dew.
Have you ever heard of the Nine Heavens Jade Dew? That is, it is obtained by condensing the vitality to the extreme. And I used this Nine Heavens Jade Dew, plus other materials, to concoct the 'Nine Dragon Saliva 'is definitely rare in the world, and I don't recognize it compared to some precious pills. Ordinary little demons, as long as a few drops, can be promoted to a small realm, and after a few sips, they can directly reach the peak of the Nine Layers of Mortality. ”
"So, how did you make those seven gourd babies?" asked Sun Li.
"Gourd baby?" Yindao was slightly stunned, "You mean red and orange, yes, they were indeed created by me in this way." In fact, this 'Nine Dragons Salivation' is still secondary, and the most laborious thing is to let them open their spiritual wisdom. Alas, in order to help them open their minds, I used the 'Spiritual Enlightenment' again and again, but it really cost me my life. ”
"Spiritual Enlightenment?" Sun Li's eyes suddenly changed when he heard this, because he had heard of this kind of spell. Zhun Qun said yes, when he was in Dajue Temple, he heard the old tree demon mention it.
Enlightenment is one of many spells, but it is more difficult to practice than most spells. When it is used, it is even more costly, and it may even damage the life of the caster. Therefore, if it is not the kind of power or deep mountain old demon that has been cultivated for thousands of years, it will not be easily used.
And this kind of spell, the only function, is to help the living beings start to be wise, very simple, and very powerful!
For example, in a lifetime, there are actually two beginnings.
The first time is when it hits the ground. And the second time is when memories are first generated, in fact, this is the real beginning of life.
Ordinary people, normally, have no memory until they are three or four years old. That's because the wisdom has not been opened, the sea of knowledge is chaotic, and there is no wisdom and light, at this time, a person is actually not much different from the cub of a beast.
And only when this person's body grows to a certain level, when the spiritual intelligence is naturally opened, can this person be regarded as a real person. This process generally takes three or four years, so normal people first remember that they are three or four years old.
But for the beasts in the mountains, the situation is slightly different, and the most important thing is that this process of waiting for the natural opening of the spirit has been greatly prolonged, no longer three or four years of work, but decades and hundreds of years.
Therefore, only a few of its beasts had the opportunity to open their spiritual intelligence, incarnate into demons, and begin to cultivate. For the rest, most of the beasts can't wait for the opportunity to open this spirit for the rest of their lives, and can only die in a daze.
Therefore, it is not easy to become an adult, and it is even more difficult to become a demon.
The existence of the Spiritual Enlightenment is like a cheat, and it can help the beast to open its mind at will. It can even be said that if you successfully perform a Spiritual Enlightenment, you will be able to increase the number of youkai.
How can this not be amazing!
Of course, there are some drawbacks to this spiritual enlightenment. One of them is that while letting the beast turn on its spiritual intelligence, it will also fix its mind to the level of a human child.
This phenomenon is reflected in many ways in "Journey to the West".
For example, Sun Wukong and his party can often coax some little demons to be like idiots.
That's because these little demons are all forcibly turned on their spiritual minds, their minds are the same as children's, and they can't grow up, and they have to continue this state for hundreds of years, until they reach a high enough level of cultivation before they can be lifted.
Obviously, the seven gourd babies were like this, so Sun Li was shocked and shocked.
