Chapter 197: Soul Strength

Hermione nodded, she was completely understandable and not in a hurry. So many wizards have come over like this for so many years, and there is no rush to improve their magic power.

"The next thing is to improve the strength of your soul." Charon continued, "Fortunately, at this point, there are still some things that can be directly used by necromancy and Eastern cultivation methods. ”

"This is the introductory ceremony of Chinese cultivation, which is simply six words: meditation, concentration, and self-reliance."

The meaning is very simple, it is to clear out distractions, calm your mind, unite your spirit, and find your true self-consciousness through the initiation ceremony. In this way, you can truly cultivate through self-awareness. ”

Hearing this, Hermione was a little confused, and she asked, "What is true self-awareness?" Isn't it normal for me to control my body through self-awareness? ”

"It's a complicated and mysterious question." Charon scratched his head, organized his language, and continued: "In Muggle psychology, a person's consciousness is divided into id, ego, and superego. The ego is your subconscious, the ego is your rational consciousness, and the superego is your soul consciousness. ”

"Your subconscious mind is actually an expression of the needs of your body's various organs, hungry, thirsty, wanting to drink water, perceiving danger, opening pores, and so on. Rational consciousness is the expression of your thoughts, the result of acquired environmental influences and education. ”

"And only the superego is your true soul consciousness. You have to learn to take direct control of your soul consciousness, get rid of the shackles of your body and your acquired mind, and find your true self, which is called solipsism. When the Buddha came into the world, he pointed to the sky and the earth, and said: Heaven and earth, I am the only one! This allusion actually means that the Buddha has found his true self, rather than his blind arrogance as outsiders understand. ”

"When you find your true self, you will understand that the body and magic power you have cultivated are just the hull of a ship on the vast sea, and only the true self consciousness is yourself!"

Charon said for a long time, but seeing that Hermione was still confused and confused, he simply stopped, "Okay, now I told you that you don't understand, and you will understand after the ceremony is completed." ”

Charon didn't bother to talk anymore, and began to dig out the same materials and set up the formation ceremony. Hermione also got up to help him.

Charon's rituals are mainly based on things from the Eastern Cultivation Realm, which also incorporate the content of necromancy. It can be said that East meets West. In terms of soul cultivation, necromancers are far ahead of ordinary magicians, and although they are not as good as Eastern cultivators, they are already very good. It's also easy to understand, dealing with skeleton ghosts all day long, if you don't have a strong will, you will have already degenerated into a dark magic wizard!

Charon's ritual is like this, first of all, a meditation futon is placed in the center, which Charon bought at a large price, this thing is a sought-after item, and it is not easy to get hold of.

Then place an incense burner in front of the futon facing south, and place a handful of meditation incense next to it, and light it when the ceremony begins.

With the futon as the center, Charon took out eight more jade talismans and placed them in order according to the direction, this is the oriental tranquilization array, which will be activated at the beginning of the ceremony in a while. The jade talisman was also bought by Charon at a great price, but fortunately, it can be used repeatedly, otherwise he will die of distress!

After this toss, Charon motioned for Herone to sit cross-legged on the futon, took out a condensing pill, and handed it to her. After the ritual begins, this elixir needs to be held under her tongue to help her condense her spiritual power.

In the end, Charon gave her a picture of a white bone skeleton with some intricate lines drawn on it, making ordinary people feel dizzy at the sight. This is the key to the ritual, after the ritual begins, Hermione only needs to concentrate on this visualization map, and she can naturally concentrate her mind, enter the sea of consciousness, and find self-awareness.

Everything is ready, Charon is ready to start. He counted the hours, and felt that it was almost there, so he told Hermione again: "Remember, you just need to relax your mind, focus on the visualization map, and keep reciting the "Taishang Laojun often says the Qingjing Sutra" in your mouth. Remember that the fewer distractions the better, and it's OK to think about nothing at all. ”

After he finished saying this, Hermione nodded repeatedly, indicating that she had memorized everything.

Charon turned his head to look at this formation, thinking that with so many auxiliary things together, if she still can't be enlightened, then her qualifications are really dull and incorrigible.

When the time came, Charon did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly activated the necromantic magic, chanted a spell, and summoned the spiritual power of the god of death to appear.

Then Charon's magic moved, and the entire magic circle was suddenly shrouded in a miserable white mist, and there was a trace of ghostly screams in the mist, which made people tremble and shake.

Seeing this, Hermione hurriedly stuffed the Condensing Pill into her mouth, and a chill was suddenly poured from top to bottom, and distracting thoughts disappeared. She recited "Taishang Laojun often said the Qingjing Sutra", and focused her eyes on the visualization map, and the wisps of lines were like filaments, entwining her spirit and dragging it into a mysterious space.

On the other side, Charon had already stirred up eight array talismans, and a burst of clear light lit up, and the Great Array of Tranquility was activated. This large array allows Charon to throw his soul into it, observe, help and guide Hermione's spirit, and avoid accidents.

Futons, pills, visualization charts and formations, Charon has all the auxiliary means in one go, and with a five-pronged approach, no matter how dull a person is, he can do it, not to mention that Hermione's own qualifications are not bad.

Everything went smoothly, with the help of the spiritual power of death, Hermione soon completely distracted thoughts, the soul got rid of the physical body, and all the spiritual power followed the guidance of the visualization map, condensed into a point, and drifted into her own sea of consciousness.

Charon's divine thoughts watched from the sidelines, and his heart was a little relieved, generally speaking, entering the sea of consciousness marked more than half of the success.

Hermione's consciousness fluttered, toward the center of the sea of consciousness. That's where her soul is. As long as the consciousness and the spirit meet and are combined, it is easy to regain the true self consciousness.

At that moment, wisps of mist came and went to block Hermione's consciousness. Charon's heart was not good, and Hermione's consciousness had already drilled into it.

This mist is absolutely not available to others, and this is the fog of time. Only someone like Hermione who had traveled through time had it, and each time she crossed the fog, it was heavier. These mist of time will infect the divine soul, so that the divine soul will scatter but not gather, faint but not strong, and develop to the extreme that the divine soul will be destroyed and completely annihilated.

As Charon had expected, Hermione's consciousness sank into a fog and stopped advancing.

Hermione only felt that she had entered an extremely strange world, in which there were many selves, some were studying, some were listening, some were eating, some were playing, and ......, her consciousness seemed to be scattered into countless small pieces, and she was devoted to each of them.

Charon knew that he had to intervene, and he silently recited "The Taishang Laojun often said the Sutra of Tranquility", transmitting the power of the scripture into the fog and into Hermione's consciousness.

As Hermione's consciousness was about to collapse, a heavenly sound resounded through her world, causing her to wake up suddenly. Her own figures became distorted and blurred, and Hermione remembered her mission, and she gathered her spirit and lunged, finally breaking free from the mist of time and throwing herself into her own soul.

It was only after Hermione's consciousness and spirit merged that she truly understood the meaning of the word "solips". Indeed, only one's own self-consciousness is one's true self, and those thoughts and ideas, bodies and thoughts are just external objects attached! Hermione was immersed in it, and after some time, she was suddenly awakened by Charon's voice, "Keep to yourself, meditate, don't indulge!" ”

Hermione woke up in shock, and hurriedly followed the instructions to meditate and concentrate, reciting over and over again "Taishang Laojun often says the Sutra of Tranquility" until everything fell silent, and then silenced .......

Hermione didn't realize that she had fallen asleep until she woke up. She stood up and looked at Charon a little bewildered, not knowing if she had succeeded or not.

Charon was very happy and congratulated Hermione with a smile: "Yes, you have succeeded." With the foundation of success this time, it will be much easier to enter the sea of consciousness next time. Repeat this skillfully several times, until you can easily find your true self consciousness without any assistance, even if you have learned to use the divine soul. ”

Hermione was also overjoyed to learn that she had succeeded. She couldn't help but ask with some pride what her qualifications were, whether they were low or high?

Charon blinked, and made up a lie to praise her.

In fact, what Hermione didn't know was that whether it was in the Huaxia cultivation world or as a necromancer, anyone with some self-confidence would never use this ritual to find their true self and step into the path of cultivation.

The Eastern cultivation world pays attention to gradual progress, cultivating the mind first and then cultivating the Fa, and at the beginning, they use various methods to hone their willpower, and when they enter the cultivation journey, their hearts are already like a rock, and their will is like steel, so they don't need to do this at all.

The same is true for necromancers, in the face of all kinds of evil thoughts and temptations, their hearts must be like water, their minds are like sharp daggers, and they must not be tempted by darkness and evil in the slightest. These are also compulsory courses that every Shafiq family heir begins at birth.

Therefore, cultivators who have a regular ritual of this kind of ritual don't use it at all!!

In fact, this kind of ritual is also called the cradle of the children of the gentlemen, and only those children of the family who do not learn and have no skills, weak willpower, and poor mental strength, their parents and elders have no choice but to use such a ritual to help them enter the cultivation world. Like this, none of those who have stepped into the cultivation of the divine soul with the help of external forces will become talented in the future, and at most they will stop at the beginning.

But in other words, Hermione, as a wizard in the wizarding world, has long lost the method of cultivating the divine soul, and everyone is like this, so it doesn't matter! Next, Charon will naturally help them use their divine souls to operate the magical world's guardian spirits, and the methods to resist external evils are barely enough.
